Show Notes
On our last episode before our annual summer break, we talk about the career of the legendary Ernest Borgnine. A naval officer through the war years, he turned to acting after his discharge and within a decade had won the 1956 Best Actor Oscar for Marty. The actor was relied on as an unconventional lead and a supporting player for many in such films as Bad Day at Black Rock, The Dirty Dozen, The Wild Bunch, The Poseidon Adventure and Hustle. Some listeners may note a decline in audio quality in this episode, this was due to some technical issues on our end but rest assured our dulcet tones will return this summer!

More from I Know That Face
This episode of I Know That Face is a bit of a grab bag. The gang talk about some of the best movies they've seen recently in cinemas, including Blue Heron, The Christophers, Disclosure Day, Erupcja, Hen, The Invite, Nino, Scary Movie 6 and Tuner. We also re-litigate Hokum and Lee Cronin's The Mummy, as Andrew wasn't a fan. Then, Andrew and Stephen recommend some Blu-rays. Full details about these below:
On this jam-packed episode of I Know That Face, hosts Andrew Carroll, Katie McGrath, and Stephen Porzio explore the phenomenon of YouTubers transitioning to directing hit horror movies. As part of this, the gang discuss Kane Parsons' Backrooms and Curry Barker's Obsession at length, while also touching on Mark Fischbach's Iron Lung and Chris Stuckmann's Shelby Oaks. Katie and Stephen also review the new horror film Evil Dead Burn. Plus, the episode ends with a chat about Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey recorded ahead of its release, where the trio recommend several other Greek myth flicks.
In this week's episode of I Know That Face, we're trying out a new format: Movie Hot Takes! Who is the true king of sci-fi, Denis Villeneuve or James Cameron? Which Oscar-winning director is overrated? Are films too long now? Are most sequels better than the original? We hash out these questions, and more, while also providing some cool film recommendations, as usual.
Andrew, Katie and Stephen are doing a movie review round-up this episode. We're talking about some of our favourites from the first quarter of 2026, both new releases and first watches. This includes religious epics, Irish horror (Hokum and The Mummy) and golden oldies to more recent fare like The Drama, Project Hail Mary, Send Help, Sirāt, The Testament of Ann Lee and much more.
I Know That Face is back, but we're not talking about character actors in this episode. Inspired by post-Christmas and post-Christmas gifts, Andrew and Stephen are showing off some of their favourite Blu-rays and DVDs, all the while trying to convince Katie to join them on their physical journey. Andrew and Stephen's picks range from a horror that the BBC banned, another spooky flick described as 'IT for old people', films that inspired Ben Affleck's The Town and Vince Gilligan's Pluribus, and a movie that Stephen calls one of his favourites of the 21st century.
