Shoot The Hostage
Welcome to Shoot The Hostage with Sarah & Dan - the movie podcast where we pick one movie at a time and take a deep dive into anything and everything we can. Each season, we dive into a new theme which we take turns in choosing. We tend to choose a diverse pick of films for each season, trying our best to cover different genres & themes. If you’re in the market for a movie podcast with hosts that don’t take themselves too seriously and love films just as much as you, then head over. Take your shoes off and come on in.

This week Sarah and Dan discuss Starship Troopers. Based on the book by Robert A. Heinlein and adapted by Ed Neumeier, this violent dystopian satire divided audiences back in 1997. Join us as we discuss Paul Verhoeven, the cast and anything we find interesting. Would you like to know more?!

In the latest episode of our Aliens season we delve into the highly acclaimed 2016 sci-fi movie Arrival, directed by Denis Villeneuve and starring Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner. We discuss the power of language and wonder why they didn't park the scissor lift closer to the spaceship.

Sticking with alien movies as our season's theme, this week we're talking David Bowie in Nicolas Roeg's The Man Who Fell To Earth. Join us as we try to figure out what it all meant and spend a little too long talking about hash browns.

Join us as we delve deep into the machismo-driven world of the 1987 iconic Schwarzenegger starrer, Predator. This movie is a classic of the action genre but also has elements of horror and sci-fi, and left an indelible mark on film history.
Step into the high-octane jungle with us as we dissect the first film in our season of alien movies.

We saw Expendables 4 this past weekend and as a bonus, we thought we would share our thoughts with you lovely people on the latest instalment of the Sylvester Stallone action franchise. After a 4-week break, we are back next Monday the 2nd of October for our brand new season and theme where we will be talking about 8 movies with aliens. We'll see you then but in the meantime, enjoy our thoughts on Expend4bles.

We are at the end of another season, and following our run of movies about criminals we're taking a break with the main show, and returning on October 2nd with a brand new season and theme.
Until then we have a whole bunch of reviews on Patreon, including our season 2 wrap show where we discuss the criminal films we chose, and some we didn't. This is a preview of that show, which is available in full if you sign up to Patreon.
If we don't catch you there, we hope to see you for season 3 on October 2nd.

No-one does gritty quite like our Australian cousins, and Animal Kingdom is one of our favourite examples of the Aussie crime sub-genre. This week we get deep into the criminal underworld and come away largely unscathed.
