A Friendly Film Take, brought to you by Film News Blitz, is a brand new podcast that’s your home for friendly film discussions.
Episodes one and two feature co-founder Dan Lawrence and his fellow cinephile Rhys Stacey as they discuss a variety of film topics.
Both episodes are out now!
'Alien: Earth' and the best films of 2025
In episode one of A Friendly Film Take, Dan and Rhys kick things off by listing their three favourite films of 2025 so far.
From there, the discussion heads to serious letdowns, before unpacking the first few episodes of Noah Hawley’s new series, Alien: Earth.
'Peacemaker' and our top picks for the rest of 2025
Dan and Rhys’ discussion continues in episode two of ‘A Friendly Film Take’, as DC Studios and James Gunn’s Peacemaker returns to television screens.
Dan clues Rhys in on what to expect from season one, before looking into how the new season of Peacemaker fits within the wider DCU.
That leads into a debate on who is the best WWE wrestler turned actor: Dave Bautista, Dwayne Johnson, or Peacemaker’s John Cena.
Once that’s settled, Dan and Rhys look ahead and pick their top picks for the rest of 2025.
Watch episode two of A Friendly Film Take to see why Eddington, Materialists, Predator: Badlands, and Avatar: Fire and Ash will be worth watching in cinemas this year.
