Rancho Notorious is a fortnightly podcast from RNZ about movies and other cool stuff. Produced by Dan Slevin and co-hosted by Kailey Carruthers, the show features local and international guests, news, reviews, giveaways and competitions.
Our listeners are committed and opinionated film fans — the kind of people who like to talk back to the hosts and share what they know.
Guests Marie O’Sullivan (@reesiepie) and Mike Dickison (@adzebill) join Dan and Kailey to talk about the summer cinema releases so far, including Into the Woods, Birdman and The Imitation Game.

Hilarity ensues.
And Paddington is reviewed.
