Show overview
The Every Movie Ever! Podcast has been publishing since 2021, and across the 5 years since has built a catalogue of 190 episodes. That works out to roughly 180 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 56 min and 1h 3m — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-GB-language Comedy show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 2 days ago, with 34 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2025, with 51 episodes published. Published by Ben Groves & Rob Macfarlane.

S1 Ep 309The Hunger Games (2012): Is This Just A Bad Battle Royale Clone?
EBen and Rob step into the fractured districts of Panem with The Hunger Games, the 2012 phenomenon that turned a brutal dystopian novel into a cultural lightning strike. Directed by Gary Ross and led by a breakout performance from Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen, the film walks a tightrope between blockbuster spectacle and unsettling social commentary, but how did it all come together?Who is Suzanne Collins, and why did Hollywood take a risk on her bleak, unflinching vision of a future built on control, sacrifice, and survival? What drew Gary Ross to the material, and how did his approach shape the film’s grounded, almost documentary-like intensity? And how did Jennifer Lawrence become Katniss, not just a hero, but a symbol balancing vulnerability, defiance, and reluctant rebellion in a way that defined a generation?From the politics of the Capitol to the moral cost of survival, Ben and Rob dig into what The Hunger Games is really saying beneath the arena’s deadly choreography. Is it a story about resistance, media manipulation, or the quiet erosion of humanity under pressure?CONSUUUME to find out all this and much, much more!PLUS!
