The Scot and the Swede will treat you to another double feature, this time a space opera extravaganza; discussing sci-fi geopolitics, blood orgies and acid flashbacks in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part 2 before getting into the subtleties with which the Wachowskis and Mila Kunis characterize their trope-suberting sci-fi hero in Jupiter Ascending.
In the end Josh has hunted down a Scottish Netflix thriller and Mårten delivers a deep cut from the Stellan Skarsgård-archives.

The Scot and the Swede continue listing the best films of 2023! A bit late recorded and even later posted, as evident by our extremely outdated oscar-predictions BUT WHOOO CARES! Listen in as we reveal the unexpected best Christmas movie of the year and finally reveal our #1 films of 2023, with the sound of Josh's girlfriend cooking dinner in the background.

The Scot and the Swede stumble into another episode to list our top 10 films of 2023. Bit late to the party, but we've been busy.
Nerd out with us as we nitpick the best films of the year for brandwashing, dog-killings and confusing twist endings as well as arrogantly proposing our own rewrites. Josh also recommends a Scottish thriller with an accompanying Peter Mullan-sandwich story and Mårten talks about a certain quirky film director named Andersson with a very distinct color palette (probably not the one you're thinking about).

For our first episode, we pair Poor Things (2023) with Easy A (2010) to discuss Emma Stone, Spider-Man cast crossovers and even make a courageous attempt to touch on the difficulties for women to exercise sexual agency in a corrupt, patriarchal system... Yup. If you also have been thinking that we need a podcast where boys talk about movies made by boys, that deal with the hardships of female sexuality. Think no more!
The Scot and the Swede will delve deep into the weeds of duck-pigs and bubble-burps in Yorgos Lanthimos psychadelic fairytale.
Before we get to the bottom of whether Stanley Tucci was Emma Stone's biological father and what the heck is up with all those oranges in Easy A?
Josh also has a classic Scottish folk horror to recommend, while Mårten watched a Swedish documentary and finally realised that all docus aren't boring.
