DIMINISHING RETURNS: A comedy podcast about movie sequels, prequels, spin-offs and reboots. Hosted by Allen and Chris. WARNING: Contains Scottish accents and spoilers.
We love Cox...and Hopkins
Allen and Chris break out the chianti to talk the first two film incarnations of everyones favourite cannibal, Hannibal Lector (or Lecktor, if you prefer). Michael Mann's Manhunter, starring Brian Cox was a flop on release but it's reputation has grown to a bonafide cult classic. While Jonathan Demme's Silence Of The Lambs was a smash hit, with Anthony Hopkins taking over the role of Hannibal and launching the character into the pop culture zeitgeist.
In an entertainment landscape filled with serial killers and cop procedurals we look at two of the films that influenced so much of what we see today.
In this episode:
-Michael Mann, style over substance? Hell no.
-Sure Hannibal gets all the press but lets talk about William Peterson and Jodie Foster as Will Graham and Clarice Starling
-Silence Of The Lambs, surprisingly socially sensitive for a big budget 90s serial killer flick
-a dream woman
-Dennis Farina
-Mindhunter
-party guests, ranked
-and we figure out the perfect first date

Michael Keaton's stint as Batman, as good as we remembered?
Tim Burton’s Batman was a cultural juggernaut in 1989, riding a wave of hype and an iconic performance from Jack Nicholson to box office success. The unlikely casting of Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne/Batman worked and this ‘darker’ version of Batman can be seen as the forebearer of so many of the comic book adaptations that now rule the box office. With Batman Returns, Burton drove his vision for the dark knight further, tripling the villains to include Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman, Danny Devito’s penguin and the new villain, Christopher Walken’s Max Shreck
In this episode:
-How dark is this dark version of Batman?
-Batman 89 vs Batman 66
-The ghost of David Bowie
-Jack Nicholson laughing all the way to the bank
-The Joker knows a graphic designer
-A great Michelle Pfeiffer performance as Selena Kyle/ Catwoman.
-Danny Devito’s relatable performance as Penguin
-The Ghost of David Bowie pops by again
-And let me be clear, two uncannily pitch perfect Christopher Walken impersonations

DIMINISHING RETURNS: A comedy podcast about movie sequels, prequels, spin-offs and reboots. Hosted by Allen and Chris. WARNING: Contains Scottish accents and spoilers.
Allen and Chris ask, is Cavill giving up the cape? And what would the ghost of David Bowie sound like?

In this episode
-Rumours abound that Henry Cavill is no longer Superman
-The DCEU
-The Marc Maron/Diminishing Returns mash-up no one wanted
-The Ghost Of David Bowie
-Predators in Predator

COMING SOON ON DIMINISHING RETURNS: Frankenstein (1931) and Bride Of Frankenstein
Allen and Chris strap on the studded gloves…..
1975’s Rollerball, directed by Norman Jewison and starring James Caan as the fictional sport’s superstar player Jonathan E, delivered not only action but a thoughtful examination of individuality and freedom.
Cut to 2002 and John McTiernan, director of Die Hard and Predator, two of the greatest action flicks ever, helms the remake. Surely this will, at the very least, deliver on visceral thrills….right?
In this episode
-the dumbest criticism of old movies
-James Caan: a manly man
-LL Cool J and American Pie: the college years
-The shadowy Rebecca Romijn–Stamos
-Jean Reno: the man behind the man, or something
-Nielson? BARB? Meet the new rating system that blows them out the water.
