Description

<p>This time on 15, Luke and Dan rattle off their reviews for three recent films that they should have got round to critiquing sooner. <br/><br/>Firstly, Luke gets frustrated by Wonka, the musical fantasy film directed by Paul King, who co-wrote the screenplay with Simon Farnaby. The picture tells the origins of Willy Wonka,  featuring his early days as a chocolatier. Starring Timothée Chalamet as the title character, and with an ensemble cast including Sally Hawkins, Rowan Atkinson, Olivia Colman and Hugh Grant, it is the third live-action film based on Roald Dahl&apos;s novel. <br/><br/>Next up is the film that grabbed everyone&apos;s attention, Saltburn. Emerald Fennel&apos;s second offering is black comedy psychological thriller featuring Barry Keoghan, Jacob Elordi, Rosamund Pike and Richard E. Grant. The film focuses on a student at Oxford University who becomes fixated with a popular, aristocratic student who later invites him to spend the summer at his eccentric family&apos;s estate.<br/><br/>Then, after a handy tip off from Luke, the pair discuss Theater Camp, a 2023 American mockumentary comedy film directed by Molly Gordon and Nick Lieberman. The movie follows the counsellors of an underfunded theatre-focused summer camp as they band together with the founder&apos;s son to keep the camp afloat. <br/><br/>To wrap up the show, they agree to quickly review two extra films that the other has no interest in seeing. Dan shares his disappointment with Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget. Whereas Luke recommends Air, the film that&apos;s based on true events about the origin of Air Jordan, a basketball shoe-line. <br/><br/>Click <a href='https://youtu.be/YiaImot9oW4'>here</a> to watch the podcast instead. </p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/15podcast">Support the show</a></p><p>Obsessed with films too?
