It began, as all the best ideas do, with two friends talking nonsense about movies. Miles, a filmmaker with a deep love for storytelling, and Katy, an art and design journalist and pop culture aficionado, quickly realised they shared an unshakable obsession with film.

They’d spent years discussing the movies that had ruined them—whether through sheer brilliance, emotional devastation, or just the kind of absurdity that lingers forever.

And so, The Films That Ruined Us was born. Each episode, they pick a genre, choose a film each, and dive deep into why these particular movies changed (or damaged) them. They ask the big questions: What’s the weirdest bit of trivia about this film? On a scale of 1 to 10, how much did it ruin us? And, if it were made today, what would they do differently?

From sci-fi to horror, romance to childhood classics, no genre is safe. Expect passionate debates, ridiculous theories, and a lot of fun along the way.
