  • "Is it a crime of passion, or an act of treason?"

    In this extract from 'Two Geeks And A Marketing Podcast' Pascal Fintoni and Roger Edwards celebrate the recording of their 100th film marketing review with a classic thriller chosen by one of their guests!

    We look at the marketing for this 1987 edge of the seat political thriller, from the original trailer to the official Lobby Cards and the different photography used to promote 'No Way Out' to the press and media.

    We of course spent time reminiscing about the great storyline and the captivating performances from Kevin Costner, Gene Hackman, Sean Young and Will Patton whose character is essential to make the film work!

    Finally, we ask how different things could have turned out had they marketed this as an erotic thriller?

  • Pascal Fintoni and Roger Edwards review and react to the making and marketing of another greatly anticipated movie by Chris Nolan.

    We study the evolution of the posters, the trailers, the interactive website, the choice of colours and calligraphy, the IMAX key message, the many featurettes and the clever countdown PR stunt in advance of the worldwide release of Oppenheimer.

  • "The name is Bond, James Bond."

    Pascal Fintoni and Roger Edwards do a deep dive into the marketing of the 2006 film that introduced Daniel Craig as James Bond to the world.

    We look at the approach and tactics used to promote what is essentially the reboot of one of the most famous franchises after a 4 year-gap.

    There were also massive changes in style and cinematography, and a much more rugged and physical approach to storytelling.

    In addition to the expected 'promo pack' and publicity, there were cleverly produced product placement TV campaigns from film sponsors themselves.

    But was the overall 'Casino Royale' marketing and PR efforts strong enough to support the reboot?

  • In this extract from 'Two Geeks And A Marketing Podcast' Pascal Fintoni and Roger Edwards have a lot of fun talking about yet another excellent ensemble movie from Guy Ritchie.

    We look at the troubled production and release caused by the Covid pandemic, concerns over the nationality of the villains and the financial troubles of the original distributor.

    The marketing campaign had great elements but was underwhelming and failed to showcase how good the movie really is - but perhaps this was the right decision for the new distributor given all the delays?

  • “You’re all fecking boring!"

    Pascal Fintoni and Roger Edwards delve into the marketing of this absolutely charming and beguiling movie by director Martin McDonagh and starring Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, Kerry Condon and many others.

    Part fable, part historical critic, 'The Banshees of Inisherin' became a huge hit despite its relatively low key marketing campaign and we ask the question whether Disney+ streamed the movie up too early and harmed its cinema run.

    In this extract of 'Two Geeks And A Marketing Podcast', we examine the importance of festival premieres, the poster design, the trailers, the repurposing of accolades and praises, the partnership with Tourism Ireland, and much more.

  • Pascal Fintoni and Roger Edwards take a close look at the bright and colourful marketing and social media campaigns for this genuinely different whodunnit with plenty of twists and turns, and a surprising dĂ©nouement.

    This is a full-on investigation into the teaser posters, multiple trailers, character posters, the Instagram #KnivesOutChallenge, a black and white mockumentary, The Get Your Cut treasure hunt and... that jumper worn by actor Chris Evans.

    There are most certainly some great lessons about planning your the social media campaign and reacting swiftly to your audience's comments.

  • In this extract from 'Two Geeks And A Marketing Podcast' Pascal Fintoni and Roger Edwards explore the marketing of one of the best adaptations of a Stephen King's novel.

    Released in 1994 (up against Pulp Fiction and Forrest Gump) and despite receiving great reviews from critics 'The Shawshank Redemption' failed to attract audiences at the theaters.

    One year later Warner Bros. released the movie on VHS for rental market, and the rest is movie history.

    We look at the marketing assets first used to promote 'The Shawshank Redemption' from teaser posters to trailers, the reactions from fans and reviewers, the power of word-of-mouth, and the key messages and appeal of the story to this day.

    “Like most who reviewed 'The Shawshank Redemption' when it was first released in 1994, I was impressed, but I had no idea just how important the film would become to some audiences." Mark Kermode, for The Guardian, 2004.

  • "This summer, it's game on or game over!"

    Pascal Fintoni and Roger Edwards step back in time with this superb comedy, a joyous celebration of retro-gaming.

    The marketing of 'Pixels' is a lesson in market segmentation with a clear product, a clear audience and a clear objective: entertaining entire families in the summer of 2015.

    We also look at the extensive and very creative social media tactics, the attendance at gaming conventions, the partnership with online media brands and product collaborations which made up the successful campaign for this film.

    'Pixels' is one of the most enjoyable, guilty pleasure filled movies you will ever watch!

    Pascal Fintoni and Roger Edwards go for a deep-dive into the making and marketing of this brilliant and surprise hit movie directed by Tom Hooper with exquisite dialogues between Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush, Helena Bonham-Carter and Jennifer Ehle.

  • "Everyone in the world has forgotten the Beatles. Everyone except Jack... "

    In this extract from 'Two Geeks And A Marketing Podcast' Pascal Fintoni and Roger Edwards look back at this 2019 gem of a movie directed by Danny Boyle and with mesmerising performances from Himesh Patel and Lily James in a career best. 

    But was the marketing strategy and its key messages clear enough?

    Did audiences understand this is NOT a jukebox musical based on Beatles songs but a science fiction movie which showcases Beatles music?

    We study the promotional efforts from striking poster design to sing-along social media posts, and the power of using pop culture references in marketing.

  • Pascal Fintoni and Roger Edwards reflect on the meaning and marketing of this masterpiece written and directed by British filmmaker Martin McDonagh and starring Frances McDormand, Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell, Peter Dinklage, Caleb Landry Jones and many others.

    This film, with its superb dialogue, characters and cinematography, is about consequences in a small American town. And, if you think about it, is also about the power and impact of targeted communication.

    'Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri' received 223 nominations, 132 wins including two Oscars.

    Why? Quite simply, they failed to write the one song that would unite the world.

  • In this extract from ‘Two Geeks And A Marketing Podcast’ Pascal Fintoni and Roger Edwards talk about the marketing of the 2008 box office hit and ask themselves this question: could ‘Mamma Mia! The Movie’ be the ultimate example of content repurposing?

    Think about it, a pop group whose songs became a juke box musical which then became a film.

    This conversation was originally recorded as part of the podcast launch series.

  • “In search of a killer, he finds someone who’s either the love of his life or the end of it.”

    Pascal Fintoni and Roger Edwards go back to 1989 with this superb police procedural film-noir with brilliant comedic moments between Al Pacino and John Goodman and erotic chemistry between Pacino and Ellen Barkin.

    'Sea of Love' paved the way for the Femme Fatale films of the 1990s such as 'Basic Instinct', 'La Femme Nikita', and 'Final Analysis'. 

    We look at the brilliant posters, the lobby cards (these were the days!), the TV spots, the soundtrack, the different versions from big screens to TV and DVD releases - and reflect on how the film benefited from the return of Al Pacino after a 4-year absence.

    We also consider whether the name of the film should have been different. Would adopting the literal translation of the French title have worked better?

  • “A murder in the past. A mystery in the future!” 

    The marketing promises a 1960s nostalgia fest with bright colours and a pumping soundtrack. It is in fact a murder mystery with a touch of time-travel.

    In this extract from 'Two Geeks And A Marketing Podcast' Pascal Fintoni and Roger Edwards discuss why this fantastic and technically superb movie by Edgar Wright deserved a bigger audience and why the film failed at the box office despite the rave reviews.

    'Last Night In Soho' mixes glitzy and dark elements and that is true of the promotional campaign with attention grabbing posters, trailers and social media posts - but was it enough for audiences?

  • "The first rule of magic? Always be the smartest guy in the room."

    Pascal Fintoni and Roger Edwards look back at this exciting 2013 heist movie with a magical twist: the bank robbers are all masters of illusion.

    But was the 'Now You See Me' movie accompanied by a magical marketing campaign? We review the tactics and PR stunts and see whether they managed to wow audiences or leave everyone wanting more.

    This conversation was recorded for episode 77 of 'Two Geeks And A Marketing Podcast'.

  • "Murder was just the beginning."

    In this extract from 'Two Geeks And A Marketing Podcast' Pascal Fintoni and Roger Edwards explore the making and marketing of this lavish murder mystery with captivating performances from Kenneth Branagh and the ensemble cast.

    The posters and social media marketing campaign for Death on the Nile were visually stunning, some interesting and brave decisions were made for the trailers, but the production was also troubled by scandal and the pandemic.

    We look closely at what happened getting this excellent film onto the big screen.
