Christmas Special 2025 - Have Yourself A Merry Movie Christmas

Episode 203 - Welcome To The Punch

Welcome to 'Matinee To Midnight' - a podcast for big screen enthusiasts. This week Simon and Matthew trade punches as they take on the mighty cinematic form that is the boxing movie. After a taking a look back over the history of boxing movies and sharing their own thoughts and history on the sport, The Roundhay Garden cinema hosts a full card of elite level boxing movies. *** On this show, Simon and Matthew, the co-proprietors of the fictional 2-screen repertory cinema, 'The Roundhay Garden', will be discussing and recommending movies built around a particular topic. The topic could be a genre, an actor, an actress, a director, a year in movie history or any other theme that comes to mind. And they will each be choosing movies from the topic to programme at the cinema to fill the schedule - a 'Matinee' movie, a 'Prime Time' movie, and a 'Midnight Movie'. This is a film recommendation show, but the movies Simon and Matthew choose to discuss are not necessarily their favourite films on a subject. They are the films that they feel are interesting and worthy of discussion - and best fit into these programming slots.
