At the Movies in the Noughties, a show about the cinema of the 2000s, is the latest addition to the Film Stories Podcast Network.
Get your aviator sunglasses out because there’s a brand new show to announce on the Film Stories Podcast Network… At the Movies in the Noughties.
A spin-off/sister podcast to At the Movies in the 90s, which has been running since 2023 and now has 55 episodes under the belt, Noughties will have a very similar style and premise under Devon Elson, one of the regular minds behind kitsch horror podcast ChuckyVision, itself having clocked over 100 episodes.
Elson is primed and ready to talk more than just killer dolls, as he explains: “My favourite part of writing retrospectives has always been placing a timeless, or timely, movie in the context of when it came out, so I jumped head-first into the 2000s. In my first two episodes my guests have taken me on radically different deep dives: the start of a billion-dollar franchise parallelling with serious geopolitical issues, and a raunchy sex-comedy surprisingly more nuanced than it’s contemporaries. You may learn a thing or two about your favourite movie, or discover a hidden gem you missed 20 odd years ago, it’s a good decade for cinema!”
As referenced above, we kick off with Doug Liman’s The Bourne Identity from 2002, which transformed the action genre, before re-airing a ‘cheat’ on ATMIT90s where AJ Black and Rob Turnbull talk Tim Burton’s Planet of the Apes reboot from 2001. Episodes talking a range of different films and genres from 2000 to the end of 2009 will follow weekly or fortnightly, with upcoming discussions to include Final Destination (2000), Mission Impossible II (2000) and The Royal Tenenbaums (2001).
At the Movies in the Noughties is now available wherever you get your podcasts, but we prefer Spotify, so take a listen here:
