Hi Movie Lovers, I have been meaning to come on here and give you all an update but it has been crazy. WE ARE STILL HERE!! but we are on Hiatus. The amazingly virile Geoff has graced this planet with another beautiful boy and so he is busy being ........DAD.

That leaves me, the monkey without the accordion player, to simply stand awkwardly. Seriously, I have been crazy busy with sickness and Life as well but nowhere near as much as dirty nappies, broken sleeps and general baby maintenance, so I shouldn't complain. We will be back and here is a beautiful photo of young Geoff and fat Craig to keep you entertained.

Also, make sure you check out our back catalogue @ https://www.fftlpodcast.com/. Great binge worthy seasons on

Hi movie lovers, I came by this short video essay about one of the best Tv-shows I have ever watched. It is an Australian crime show called Mr In-Between. For our International guests, it is steeped in Aussie culture like Sn**ch is in English, but it is so brilliant and well written.
There are many more essays out there about Mr In-between. Seriously this show is so damn good. You can get it on Youtube, Google and Apple TV.

love this neat lil gem of a show. Check out all 3 season streaming on Hulu (HBO Max and Disney Plus in some countries). (Movies show...

Hey, lovers of film and music, here is a great little article from the man who helps Tim Burton remain creepy!! The amazing, DANNY ELFMAN. WETA sat down with the genius and here is the article. It goes in-depth into his current musical project and more. A little over my dull head but right up Geoff's alley. Enjoy.

Composer Danny Elfman speaks about his process and influences, as he prepares for a world premiere with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, presented by the Library of Congress.

Hey everyone, just a quick update for those who are wondering. WE ARE STILL ALIVE!! We are currently in very busy times, personally, and haven't been able to get around to our beloved podcast!!
Geoff has been going full "Jeremy Renner" and totally flipping his house and creating a better studio area for us as well! We will post the full transformation when he finishes!
As for me, aside from trying to learn 9-a-side soccer so I can coach my son's team, I have been given an amazing opportunity by Beyond Blue to create a video of my recovery journey from anxiety and depression and I will share when it is done.
In closing, we will be back. We still have alot of Tim Burton love to give you and we will be back in your ears very soon. Thank you for sticking with us over these 200+ hours of movie reviewing and basic sh*t talking!
Stay awesome fans!

Adam Driver has a dinosaur sci-fi film coming out called 65. TIL that our beloved Sam Raimi is one of the producers. Mr Raimi and the “65” directors got onto Reddit for an AMA (Ask Me Anything). Raimi was asked what is his favourite film and this was his response.

I have to say, that is a damn good choice. From memory, this film floored Geoff and I when we first watched it and really showed the versatility of Raimi. Damn I miss Bill Paxton!! RIP great man!!

Hey Movielovers

I am giving you a beautiful reminder that the Addams Family spin-off Wednesday is getting closer and closer. Releasing on Netflix on the 23rd of November. Tim Burton directs all episodes and you can tell this is a perfect fit for him. Jenna Ortega and the cast look amazing.
Also make sure you check out our season on Tim Burton https://linktr.ee/fftlpodcast or where podcasts are found. It is amazing, dreadful, delightful, frustrating and fanciful.
