By: Mårten Gisby

  • Ep 8 - Double Feature: JOKER: FOLIE À DEUX / THE MAN WHO LAUGHS
    Nov 8 2024

    Join the circus as these two clowns talk sad clown-films! They're both crying on the inside, but is it because the movies are so touching or because of the hours wasted watching them? The Scot and the Swede continue their own private folie à deux that is this podcast, with a look at Joker 2, crowning it the best courtroom-drama comicbook-musical ever made! After which they go back almost a 100 years, to take a look at the true origins of both Batman's nemesis and, somewhat alarmingly, an entire subgenre of youporn-videos. For Scot and Swede-recommendations Josh reveals his provocative choice for best Scottish film of all time and Mårten watched a Swedish prison-series based on true events.

  • Ep 7 - Double Feature: DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE / THELMA & LOUISE
    Oct 22 2024

    Tag along as the Scot and the Swede AND Deadpool & Wolverine AND Thelma AND!!! Louise take you on a buddy-pod roadtrip through the American southwest and across the Marvel multiverse. They are still intent on alienating any listeners along the way; this time even going after the Swifties! After we reach our freeze-frame destinations Mårten has a scottish recommendation that may challenge the entire concept of a Scottish film recommendation. While Josh has been rifling through the archives at Lund University for some controversial anti-capitalist propaganda. Stay tuned until the end to find out which Swedish porn film Josh watched, and to hear about his grandma's biggest turn-offs!

  • Ep 6 - Double Feature: KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES / WHITE GOD
    Aug 1 2024

    The Scot and the Swede start off strong talking about the weather… just some top notch-podcasting this. But do not fret! The discussion rapidly devolves into colonialism, ape-sex and killing dogs as they do a double feature on the new Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and the Hungarian indie-fable White God. Mårten is determined to alienate most of our audience with his morbid would-you-rathers and Josh conveniently forgets paedophilic subplots as long as there’s some cute dogs onscreen. Is this the episode they get cancelled? Let’s find out!

    Josh also recommends a new Netflix-sensation with roots in lovely Fife and Mårten finally takes the lid off the Ingmar Bergman-embargo.
