Ramblings With Jay FinlaysonJay Finlayson a Rambling Podcast Author: Jay Finlayson
Ramblings with Jay Finlayson is a Film and TV podcast hosted by someone who has spent over a decade working across major studio productions and high-end scripted television and yet still manages to sound like hes figuring it all out in real time.This isnt a polished, over-analysed breakdown of cinema. There are no overly serious critiques, no dramatic monologues about the language of film, and absolutely no pretending to have all the answers. Instead, its a running commentary from a film enthusiast who accidentally turned his passion into a career and now cant switch it off, even when he probably should.Across each episode, expect honest opinions, behind-the-scenes insight, and the kind of observations that only come from actually being on set mixed with tangents, overthinking, and the occasional moment of chaos It sits somewhere between film discussion, industry perspective, and an ongoing internal monologue that probably shouldve stayed internal. From new releases to older favourites, big-budget productions to overlooked gems, if its worth watching (or avoiding), itll come up eventually usually with a side of mild chaos.Theres no gatekeeping here. No overcomplicated analysis. Just rambling about Films, TV, and whatever else comes to mind delivered by someone whos been behind the scenes but still talks like hes sat on the sofa questioning everything.Follow me to keep up-to-date Facebook.com/JayFinlayson Instagram.com/JayGFinlayson Twitter.com/JayGFinlayson TikTok.com/@FinTheHobbit YouTube.com/@JayFinlaysonTVFollow my film festival FearScreen.com Instagram.com/fearscreen Facebook.com/fearscreenfilmfestival TikTok.com/@FearscreenTV YouTube.com/@FearScreenTV Hosted on Acast.

We talk Dinosaurs… again…
Episode 2
Thursday, 9 July, 2026
Jay dives back into dinosaurs this time through the strange, nostalgic fever dream of Dinotopia (2002), where humans and talking dinosaurs somehow coexist in a perfectly civilised utopia.From Lee Evans voicing a neurotic Stenonychosaurus to the science of extinction, evolution, and why birds are technically modern dinosaurs, this episode blends childhood memory with real-world palaeontology. Along the way, Jay asks the big question: if Dinotopia were real, could humans actually live alongside dinosaurs—or would it collapse into chaos faster than a Jurassic Park sequel?Expect a mix of humour, science, and existential dread, covering everything from city planning with brachiosaurs to dinosaur ethics, modern ecology, and why we already live in a low-budget version of Dinotopia (we just call them pigeons).It’s part nostalgia trip, part reality check and part reminder that if humans ever did share the world with giant prehistoric creatures, we’d probably find a way to make it weird.If you’ve made it this far, you’re either genuinely interested in Film and TV… or you’ve forgotten to turn this off. Either way, welcome.New episodes drop regularly (in theory), covering everything from new releases and hidden gems to industry realities and whatever else ends up on the watchlist.Follow for updates and general nonsense:Facebook.com/JayFinlaysonInstagram.com/JayGFinlaysonTwitter.com/JayGFinlaysonTikTok.com/@FinTheHobbitYouTube.com/@JayFinlaysonTVExplore Fear Screen Film Festival:FearScreen.comInstagram.com/fearscreenFacebook.com/fearscreenfilmfestivalTikTok.com/@FearscreenTVYouTube.com/@FearScreenTV Hosted on Acast.
