A podcast about movies - old and new. Each episode host Olivia Tjon-A-Meeuw and a guest discuss two films in great detail: A new release followed by an older film. That might be a stone cold classic or a brand new discovery. Either way, it's a gem! Listen to figure out if any of the films are ... one for you.
Welcome to another episode of the One for You Podcast! Christmas is almost upon us, which is of course super exciting. But before the main event, there is this amazing time called advent, where you get to be excited about Christmas for about 3 weeks.
In my opinion, that’s also the earliest you should put up Christmas decorations or be assaulted by Christmas songs in stores. Advent is also a time to watch Christmas movies!
These days that mostly means Christmas RomComs, a uniquely American genre. My guest Alan Mattli and I have watched a number of these movies, so listen to us be delighted and appalled in equal measure.
We also briefly talk about our favourite Christmas movies of the non RomCom variety
We watched:
HAPPIEST SEASON: More Tragedy than Comedy? (09:08)
LOVE HARD: Topical five years ago. (19:55)
SINGLE ALL THE WAY: When your family ships you and your BFF hard. (31:16)
A CASTLE FOR CHRISTMAS: An American saves the Scottish, who wear a surprising number of kilts. (No, this is not BRAVEHEART) (39:08)
THE PRINCESS SWITCH 3: ROMANCING THE STAR: When you’re royalty, but also moonlight as cat burglars. (49:36)

Gunpowder Milkshake & V For Vendetta
It’s time for action on the ONE FOR YOU podcast!
Alan Mattli joins me to discuss GUNPOWDER MILKSHAKE and its bubble gum noir aesthetic. We wonder about the empty world of the movie and whether Hollywood has learned the wrong lessons from JOHN WICK.
In our gem session, we talk about V FOR VENDETTA and whether it is as good as teenage Alan thought. We also discuss whether the movie effectively criticises fascist politics or whether it is too enamoured of its own aesthetic slickness to do so.

Cowboy Bebop
In this episode, we travel into the future and into space, hunting criminals across the solar system, while looking unbelievably cool. Yes, we are discussing COWBOY BEBOP, the Netflix remake of the beloved anime.
Before the Netflix remake was announced, I’d never heard of COWBOY BEBOP. Luckily, I am joined by Astrit Abazi, who, to put it mildly, is a fan of the original.
We discuss the first four episodes of the show in great detail, going into spoilers, starting at (8:14). But no worries, we have a spoiler free summary of our thoughts on the show starting at (43:12).
Other topics include a number of other anime, HAWKEYE, and Astrit’s promise to watch TED LASSO.
