Hosts: David McVay, Josh Philpott, Calum Austin Wilson & Shane Gregory
Welcome to the Film Actually podcast, your weekly dose of movie geek. Film Actually is the official movie podcast of geekactually.com. This week David McVay and Josh Philpott are joined by Calum Austin Wilson and the very quiet Shane Gregory for a review of Christopher Nolan’s latest opus ‘Inception’. We have reformatted the show slightly and our new Lists of Five and Movie Tidbits sections are now up and running. We also take a look at the new ‘Tron Legacy’ trailer for Comic-Con.
*Update 14/10/2011 – Film Actually was a split off from the main Geek Actually show and originally maintained numbering continuity with that show. That logic no longer works as the shows have become two unique entities, so we have gone back and re-numbered the Film Actually shows to reflect their true episode number. This show is now officially episode 2 but when you listen to the show you will hear it referred to as episode 94, this is why. Sorry about any confusion or inconvenience.
Film Actually is recorded live every Saturday at 1.15pm (AEST UTC +10) at geekactually.com/live

Feature Review
‘Inception’ Written and directed by Christopher Nolan. It stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Ken Watanabe, Cillian Murphy, Marion Cotillard, and Dileep Rao and I don’t think it would be fair if we didn’t say it also features Tom Berenger, Lukas Haas and Michael Caine in smaller roles.
‘Dom Cobb is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb’s rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible-inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming.’ source: Warner Bros. Pictures
Our Verdict: Excellent film, visually dazzling with a deep story that requires brain power. Highly recommended by all and Josh thinks it is the film of the year so far.
