Simon Miraudo and Tristan Fidler review movies every Friday morning on Breakfast With Pam. But when Breakfast is over, they just keep on talking, and you’re invited to listen in.
The Movie Squad podcast on RTRFM is where you can hear Simon, Tristan and special guests discuss movies at length and in detail, covering every kind of topic and every type of movie, from blockbuster extravaganzas to arthouse fare, from celluloid excellence to glorious trash!
Remember: if you need a movie reviewed… call the Movie Squad!
Movie Squad is sponsored by Luna Palace Cinemas.
Sense and Sensibility and Hard as Puck (Movie Squad #559)
People have always said that the two things missing from Movie Squad are “sense” and “sensibility”, so thankfully both are featured in abundance this week!
Tristan Fidler and Breakfast host Pam Boland lead a review of the new Jane Austen adaptation, starring Daisy Edgar-Jones and Esme Creed Miles.
Then, Simon Miraudo offers his thoughts on Hard as Puck, a WA-made documentary about a local para ice hockey team, ahead of its special Q&A screening at Luna Cinemas on November 4 (https://lunapalace.com.au/events/hard-as-puck-qa).
Stay tuned to the bonus podcast-only segment for more thoughts on Sense and Sensibility and its many nepo-baby stars.

NAZA, Street Fighter and VHS Mixtape (Movie Squad #558)
Blockbuster Babes Simon Miraudo and Tristan Fidler review the three kinds of film on this week’s edition of Movie Squad.
First up with Breakfast host Pam Boland, they look at the stunning, investigative triumph NAZA, a documentary about the IDF’s atrocities in Gaza, from the Oscar-winning directors of No Other Land.
Then, it’s time for Street Fighter, the candy-coloured adaptation of Capcom’s classic video game, starring Callina Liang.
Stay tuned for the Squad’s annual, pod-exclusive review of the latest entry in the VHS horror anthology series, Mixtape. But how does it compare with last year’s VHS Halloween (https://rtrfm.com.au/podcasts/movie-squad/the-smashing-machine-and-v-h-s-halloween-movie-squad-podcast-507/), the best in the series to date? Well…

The Social Reckoning, Other Mommy, Sham and The History of Concrete (Movie Squad #557)
What’s cooler than two new movie reviews? Four new movie reviews.
Blockbuster Babes Simon Miraudo and Tristan Fidler join Breakfast host Pamela Boland for a bumper edition of Movie Squad.
First up, they get into a rat-a-tat discussion of Aaron Sorkin’s sequel to The Social Network, titled The Social Reckoning, now starring Jeremy Strong as Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
Then, Tristan shares his spooky thoughts on Jessica Chastain’s latest creepfest Other Mommy.
Stay tuned for pod-exclusive reviews of Takashi Miike’s new courtroom melodrama Sham, which is playing as part of the Japanese Film Festival (https://jffau.jpf.go.jp/). Then, they review John Wilson’s winding documentary about impermance, legacy and, um, concrete, The History of Concrete.
