Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) - I'm making this up as I go

Rasputin The Mad Monk 1966

Ian and Gary get back together to talk about a Hammer movie that needs a little more love, about Rasputin, Russia's greatest love machine. Lee give's a somewhat loud energetic perfomance here in a movie that really looks great. Barbara Shelley is also in the cast, as well as a cameo from Joss "Diplomatic Immunity" Ackland.  As always, you get so much more, as we dive into illustrative poster art for movies in the 80s, talking about a little gem of a British movie called "The Ghost Camera", Ida Lupino, Charles Durning and so much more. So make yourself a cup of coffee or tea and settle in...

The Haunting 1963

The House Was Born Bad. This time Ian and Gary have a long conversation about the classic Robert Wise chiller 'The Haunting' from 1963. Based on the bestselling novel from Shirley Jackson's 'The Haunting of Hill House'. We go in depth for almost 2 hours with this one and then as usual go off in all directions and discuss a host of other topics. Starring Julie Harris, Claire Bloom, Russ Tamblyn, Richard Johnson, Lois Maxwell, Valentine Dyall and Paul Maxwell. This creepy B/W horror has atmosphere, style, great production and a unique score for it's time. Warning: Gary even discusses the Easter Horror B-movie 'The Being' from 1981. :(

The Postman 1997

In this current climate, we felt it was time for a rewatch of the much panned Costner box office mega bomb, The Postman. With the subject matter of a Militia Cult, The Holnists,  taking over what's left of America and bringing down the remnants of government and society while they're at it. Named after Nathan Holn, a violent, racist, sexist, populist leader, who could be compared to a certain political figure today. Costner stars and directs this 80 million dollar epic, based on the book of the same name by David Brin.

Night of the Demon 1957 - Its in the Trees...

For our third podcast, we are doing an oldie. A classic black and white atmospheric horror from Jacques Tourneur from 1957. Starring Dana Andrews, Peggy Cummins, Niall McGuiness, Liam Redmond, Reginald Beckwith, Maurice Denham and Percy Herbert. Join Gary and Ian for a long winded conversational podcast about this M.R. James adaption from his short story 'Casting the Ruins'. A British horror movie with plenty of atmosphere, jump scares, stunning visuals, and memorable characters. It's a personal favourite of ours, as well as Martin Scorsese and Kate Bush. So get your headphones, sit back and enjoy...

Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome_1985

Conversation and nostalgia. Movies and music. Film reviews with a pinch of Scottish sarcasm. Join Gary & Ian as we travel back to the days of Video shops, Walkman's, Betamax, VHS, Atari, Top of the Pops, Canon films, Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Chuck Norris, Spielberg, Video Nasties, Yuppies, and more.
