The Third Reel: A Movie Podcast returns with the third instalment in our Review Series - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban!
As per the last in this series, we've had to split this episode into 2 parts (expect this with future instalments moving forward). Part 1 covers Act 1, while Part 2 (which will be released tomorrow) picks up with Act 2 and wraps up with Act 3, along with our final thoughts and scores.
We'll be breaking down the film act by act and scene by scene, scoring each film on a scale of 1 to 10. We weren't as hot on Chamber of Secrets last time out, especially compared to Philosopher's Stone. But with a change of director and tone, you'll have to tune in tomorrow to see how Prisoner of Azkaban measures up!

Well this is original, right? While it’s not a groundbreaking format in the podcast world, welcome to The Third Reel: A Movie Podcast's Top 10 Films of 2014!
A decade on, 2014 feels like a lifetime ago, but it’s also a standout year for us—we finished university and stepped into the next chapter of our lives. It also happens to be a phenomenal year for movies, so what better excuse to rank our favourites?
Here’s how it works: we each take turns counting down from #10 to #1. If two (or more) of us have the same film on our lists, we’ll hold off discussing it until it appears at its highest placement. That way, we can give it the spotlight it deserves. Once the lists are complete, we will rattle off our honourable mentions.
Let’s dive in!
This was our toughest assignment yet and I'm sure there will be many disagreements in terms of our individual rankings so please let us know and share your rankings!

In today’s episode of The Third Reel: A Movie Podcast, we step back into Hollywood’s golden age, to kick off a brand-new segment: The Icon Series! And who better to launch this series than the legendary Natalie Wood?
Rachael takes us on a captivating journey through Wood’s early life and career, from her rise to fame to her tragic passing, all while exploring her enduring legacy. Along the way, we review three of her most iconic films: Miracle on 34th Street (1947), Rebel Without a Cause (1955), and West Side Story (1961). Whether you're already a fan or new to her work, this episode serves as both a fascinating history lesson and a deep dive into the career of one of Hollywood's greatest stars.
SPOILERS FOR THOSE 3 FILMS IN THIS EPISODE. You have been warned.
Any Natalie Wood specific memories? Is there another icon you'd like to see us cover in a future instalment? We want to know!

This week on The Third Reel: A Movie Podcast, we're diving deep into the career of two-time Oscar winner Emma Stone, one of the best actresses of her generation. But this time, we're shaking things up with a new format—The Draft!
If you’ve ever played fantasy football or are familiar with the concept, you’ll know how this works. Each of us takes turns selecting movies from Emma Stone's entire filmography, filling out five distinct categories. Once a category is filled, it's locked for that player, and that movie is off the table for everyone else. The draft order was determined by the fabled "Wheel of Names," and we're doing a snake draft, so everyone gets a fair shot. Think going first guarantees a win? Think again—because that player won’t pick again until the fifth round! There’s plenty of strategy involved, and we had a blast playing.
The categories are:
StarringSupportingDramaComedyFree PickNow, who wins? Well, that’s up to you! We’ll be sharing our full picks on social media, where you can vote in polls to crown the winner of the Emma Stone Draft.
To wrap things up, we’ve got one more quick Emma Stone-related game for you to play along with. It’s a games galore kind of episode, so don’t miss it!
Who won? We want to know!

We're back with the next instalment of our Review Series, and this time, we’re diving into the second film in the Harry Potter series: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
This episode ended up running longer than expected, so we’ve decided to split it into two parts. Part 1 covers Act 1, while Part 2 (which will be released tomorrow) picks up with Act 2 and wraps up with Act 3, along with our final thoughts and scores.

On the debut episode of The Third Reel: A Movie Podcast, we discussed the movies that made us. After the episode aired, we reached out to you, our listeners, on social media to ask: What are the movies that made you? And wow, did you respond! A month later, we're taking a moment to reflect on your answers. As a thank you for your support and participation, it's time for you to take the spotlight!

Gladiator II is out in just a few days so what better way to celebrate its release than by pitting the original Gladiator (2000) against another blockbuster of epic proportions - Braveheart (1995). Both share protagonists out for revenge fighting for more than just their lost loved ones - freedom against tyranny.
In the return of our Versus series, it's Maximus against William Wallace. Ridley Scott against Mel Gibson. Russel Crowe against, uhh, Mel Gibson again. Who will win? Well give it a listen to find out.
Each Versus episode brings with it new categories to score against and in today's one, they are as follows: Protagonist / Story / Action Set Pieces / Production Design / Soundtrack.
As a reminder, we score each film out of 5 for each of these categories so a max score of 25, add them up at the end and see which film bested the other.
FULL SPOILERS FOR GLADIATOR AND BRAVEHEART IN THIS EPISODE. You have been warned.

In today's episode of The Third Reel: A Movie Podcast, we introduce a new format - The Hall of Fame/Hall of Lame: Adam Sandler edition!
We go through each of the Sandman's starring films in chronological order and debate, before unanimously deciding, which 5 films should be placed in his Hall of Fame, and which 5 films into his Hall of Lame. Now this assignment was extremely tricky, as forming one Hall was certainly easier than forming the other...
How do we decide on which films go into each Hall? Well, mostly we don't, so there is a lot of disagreement and eventual compromise. But ultimately, it's about deciding which 5 films paint the fairest reflection, both good and bad, of Adam Sandler - the comedian, actor and film star.
Agree with our Hall of Fame? What about the Hall of Lame? Got a suggestion for our next Hall of Fame/Lame subject? We want to know!

With Halloween in just a few days time, scary films are an absolute must.
So in today's episode of The Third Reel: A Movie Podcast, we do a little throwback to our first episode as we each pick the 3 horror films that made us. We will first discuss our Halloween traditions, and why we love this commercialised holiday before delving into our own personal horror flick picks. We end today's episode with a fun little horror film themed quiz which you can play along with (and probably beat us at).

Spooky season is well under way, so it's time to get those scary films out.
And in today's episode of The Third Reel: A Movie Podcast, we've chosen to dive into the tense, heart-pounding world of home invasion horror as we pit Hush against Don't Breathe! Which film utilises disability in their narrative better? Who has the best villain? What film made you feel more tense? These are just some of the categories we will cover and critique to find out which one reigns supreme. 5 categories in total, rated out of 5 each. Let's do it.
Join us as we break down the nerve-wracking suspense, clever twists, and terrifying villains in these modern horror gems. Whether you're a thriller fan or just looking for some Halloween movie night inspiration, TTR is the place to listen for a scary night in.
FULL SPOILERS FOR HUSH AND DON'T BREATHE IN THIS EPISODE. You have been warned.

In today's episode of The Third Reel, we review, in full, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (or Sorcerer's Stone if you're in the States).
This is part of our Review Series where we will be going act by act, scene by scene, and scoring out of 10 each film in the franchise from Harry's measly beginnings to his triumphant end. 8 films in total, better get going then. Once we reach that last film, we shall see TTR's definitive ranking of the Harry Potter universe...

This episode was recorded prior to passing of the legendary Dame Maggie Smith, whose iconic portrayal of Professor McGonagall remains forever in our hearts. So please forgive the lack of acknowledgement in this episode and know we will honour her in a future Harry Potter episode.
