Can You Give Me A Flick?

In a slight plot twist, Nic follows up his Seven Samurai with an unexpected re-imagining in 1998's A Bug's Life. Pixar has come a long way since 1998, but is it for better or worse? 

In 1974, Director Tobe Hooper shocked the world by introducing them to his micro budget horror film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Today, it is considered one of the all time greatest horror films ever made and Bryce wholeheartedly agrees. Will Nic find some enjoyment here, or is this film too grim and disgusting for his more artistic taste?

To kick off our remakes/re-imaginings countdown, Nic picks a 3 and a half hour classic in the 1956 Seven Samurai. Will Bryce be bewildered by this landmark in cinema, or has time been unkind to this Japanese epic?

For Bryce's favourite bad movie and the final film of the countdown, we take a look at a 1991 cult classic infamously titled Drop Dead Fred. The critics hated this movie, but will Nic find any merit? 

In a NEVER SEEN BEFORE event on the podcast, Nic gives Bryce an extremely controversial film followed by the documentary of the making of! Will the added context make this a success, or will it only infuriate Bryce due to the extra legwork? 

After a slow burner last week, Bryce looks to push the pace this week with this overlooked action thriller. Will Nic appreciate a piece of cinema of this calibre, or is this the kind of thing that will make his blood boil? 

After a less than artsy affair last week, Nic finally shows his true colours with this French piece of cinema for his second favourite bad film of the countdown. Will Bryce see any merit in this controversial exotic drama, or will this will fly far and wide over his head? 

Bryce drags Nic back into the Marvel universe this week with somewhat of an outlier in 2004's The Punisher. While the critics didn't get along with this one, it's considered somewhat of a darling 20 + years later, but will Nic feel the same way? 

To kick off what could be a disastrous countdown, Nic give Bryce a movie with an embarrassingly low Rotten Tomatoes score to kick off our run of bad movies in what could be our biggest challenges to date. 

For Bryce's favourite in our under the radar countdown, he picks a SCI-FI flick. Upgrade has all the ingredients for a movie that Nic will hate, but can this one defy the adversity to give it the tick!?

We've reached Nic's NUMBER ONE pick for our lesser known films countdown, and this episode we have a surprising entry. With an all star cast, a top tier director and a Netfllix exclusive, what could possibly go wrong with The Meyerowitz Stories? 

After a depressing film last week, Bryce doubles down by picking another one this week, with an indie sleeper from the man who made The Strangers. Will Nic find the charm in this low budget horror, or is it doomed to fall flat?

After getting the deep cuts countdown off on the wrong foot, Nic moves on to an ACTUAL favourite with Studio Ghibli's lesser known project from the 80s. Will Bryce get on board with this incredibly depressing piece of work, or will the sadness be too much to bare? 

After Nic made a mockery of the countdown last week, Bryce gets us back on track with his third favourite film from the underrated gems countdown. Will Nic get around this bizarre 90 minute cult classic, or will it fly over his head?

The podcast is bought into disrepute this week as Nic picks his third favourite niche film to kick off the brand new countdown.

Not only is it Bryce's number one pick for the Best Picture countdown, it is also his favourite film of all time. Nic will be tasked with the Milos Forman masterpiece, One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest. Has this film exceeded the complications of time, or has it become a relic of the past? 

For Nic's FAVOURITE FILM of the Best Picture winners category, he has chosen 2014's Birdman. While this has all the trappings of a feature that Bryce would normally despise, can he get involved with the manic nature of this relatively arthouse piece of cinema? 

After gifting Bryce with a grounded drama with Kramer Vs. Kramer, Bryce has returned serve with a grounded drama of his own. For his second favourite film of the Best Picture winners category, Bryce has selected a Clint Eastwood masterpiece in 2004's Million Dollar Baby. Will Nic get on board with this tragic underdog story, or will he be lost to the spectacle? 

In what can only be described as a relatively predictable pick for our friend Nic, his SECOND favourite Best Picture winner is awarded to the 1979 legal family drama Kramer Vs. Kramer. After suffering his first loss of the season last week with All About Eve, can Bryce get on board with a story more grounded in reality? 

For Bryce's third favourite film for the best picture winners list, he picks a Coen Brothers classic in the 2000s epic No Country For Old Men. While this is widely considered one of the greatest films ever made, it is extremely macho. Can Nic get on board with a film that oozes this much manly energy? 

This week the boys kick off a new countdown as Bryce and Nic pick their top three OSCAR FLICKS! Nic gets us underway with All About Eve, a supposedly timeless classic that won it way back in the 1950s. Widely considered one of the greatest films ever made, but will it have the same charm on Bryce?

For Bryce's favourite film of the year, we look at the debut from Aussie filmmaker Michael Shanks, the Alison Brie and David Franco led body horror Together. Nic is hugely surprised by this selection, but can he get on board?

Nic unveils his FAVOURITE FILM of 2025 with the indie darling Splitsville. While this is an unexpected pick, it has all the trapping of a Nic pick. The big question is though, can Bryce get on board with this bizarre and unusual romantic comedy? 

After Nic had himself a successful outing with his second favourite film of 2025, we move onto Bryce's runner up which the Academy had first! This is the second Paul Thomas Anderson film on this podcast and the first selected by Bryce. Will Nic get on board with this relatively macho epic, or will it be a bit much for the artsy fella?

Bryce and Nic's countdown of their favourite films of 2025 heats up as Nic picks his second favourite of the year. The irony of it is that Bryce had this one picked from a mile away, but will he be impressed with a film that Nic considers "BEAUTIFUL"?

After beginning the process of the first countdown on the podcast, we push on to Bryce's third favourite film of 2025 after Nic revealed his last week. Bryce has given a nod to Derek Cianfrance's Roofman, a remarkable true story starring Channing Tatum. Can Nic get on board with this one, or will it fall flat? 

The countdown is on as we kick off the brand new season of Bryce and Nic's Can You Give Me A Flick? The boys dissect the Oscars, the year that was in movies, the concept for the new season and Nic gives one of his favourites of 2025. The premiere gives us Lynne Ramsay's Die My Love, her second on this podcast and the first one from Nic. Will Bryce get on board with this arthouse classic? 

After a deeply disappointing outing for Nic in last year’s Christmas Special, Bryce gets to pick the film and elects for a politically incorrect one. Will Nic be at all charmed by the pitch black comedy of Bad Santa? 

Bryce and Nic celebrate their 100th episode of the show by cracking a beer, reminiscing on their favourite moments on the show, watching a movie that was drafted TOGETHER and talking through it

Bryce and Nic take an unorthodox means to draft the film they will watch for their 100th episode.

With one episode shy of the 100, Bryce gets us back on track with an ACTUAL FILM and the first Alex Garland with 2024’s Civil War. The question will remain, will Bryce’s final recommendation get Nic on side?

In what could be considered the most controversial episode of Can You Give Me A Flick? Nic chooses potentially the most divisive film ever made for his final pick of the season, but there's a plot twist coming that may potentially anger out entire listener base. 

It’s about that time that Darren Aronofsky makes his long awaited debut on the show, this time in the form of a macho film. Bryce gives Nic one of his favourite films of the year, the Austin Butler led Caught Stealing. Will Nic find enjoyment from the latest effort of a great filmmaker or will he be left wanting more from this genre-mashing affair?

After a huge win with Patriots Day last week, Nic was forced to step up his game by picking a film that was more likely to get Bryce onside. His pick is The Descendants, a film that is highly regarded by critics and did the rounds at Awards time. Will Bryce enjoy this George Clooney led family drama, or will this one not work out? 

Bryce finishes his mission of giving Nic the third and final film in the Peter Berg trilogy, Patriots Day. Nic hated Lone Survivor and loved Deepwater Horizon, leaving Patriots Day as the decider. Will Nic be bewildered by this film that finds hope in the wake of tragedy, or will he be left unsatisfied?

After failing to sweep Nic away with a horror last week, he jumps on the train with an arthouse horror of his own with the French cult classic Les Diaboliques. Will Bryce be swept away by this piece of French cinema, or is it too little too long ago for his taste!?

After being criticised for being too safe with his recent selections, Bryce gives Nic potentially the grittiest and nastiest film he's ever seen. Eden Lake is a cult classic, but it's not everyone's cup of tea. Will Nic be on board with this "hoodie horror", or is it just a tinge too nasty for his taste?

No one can divide an audience like Ari Aster, which is a wonder why we haven't done one sooner! Nic's selection this week is 2025's Eddington, a film that divided a nation. While both men are split on Aster's films, will Bryce get on board with this political satire, or will this polarising film fall flat?

Bryce attempts giving Nic a family comedy, a controversial decision according to him. For the first time on this podcast, we dive into a John Candy film as the boys dissect one of his underrated gems. Will Nic get on board with this charming 80s comedy?

After a terrible failure with the first Wes Anderson recommendation, Nic tries once more with Fantastic Mr. Fox. Can Bryce finally be swept away by the ever popular Anderson, or will this be another failed attempt?
