About A Good Bit of Kino

Kino, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, is a gum obtained from certain tropical trees by tapping, used locally as an astringent in medicine and in tanning. And the Urban Dictionary defines it as flirtatious physical contact. But those definitions are WRONG (if one was to proclaim as such in a group of linguistic experts then one would be most embarrassed and most likely expelled from the premises for causing a ruckus). But the only definition we care about is the following: The highest form of artistry in the motion picture world. This is a podcast that celebrates movies, flicks, films, talkies, features and every other corner of the cinematic world. From Lynch to Welles, Mann to Kurosawa and everyone else in between. Join us, your hosts Cavan and James, as we travel through time and across continents to explore the art and wonderment of the motion picture world. Join us every fortnight as we taste and savor A Good Bit of Kino.

Episode 7: David Lynch Ranked

David Lynch sure is a weird chap isn't he? Well here at A Good Bit of Kino we are nothing but suckers for this guy's cinematic output. So in this episode we put ourselves to the test as we try and rank all 10 of Lynch's feature films. Don't forget to follow us on Twitter and Instagram.

Episode 6: Withnail and Us

We're back with another dissection of a film, only this time we have actually chosen something good and not abject trash. The cult British comedy Withnail and I is often beloved and cited as one of the best British films out there; although that point causes a bit of debate between our two hosts. Remember you can find us on Twitter and Instagram by just searching for our podcast name.

Episode 5: Videogame Movies

Videogame movie adaptations have a fairly notorious track record of being awful wastes of time; and we would be inclined to agree with you, in fact this episode mostly smack talks them. However we do give you some recommendations on examples of good video game movies, as well as suggesting our own on top of figuring out why they just don't work at all.

Episode 4: Original Gangster (A Less Than Kind Review)

So we found a terrible, rubbish British crime caper that we decided to give an hour long deconstruction. We don't recomend you watch the movie Original Gangster, but we certainly can't stop you from doing so. Just a word of warning; it will cause physical pain and a hatred for the cockney accent.

Episode 3: Carpenter's Apocalypse Trilogy

Since the dawn of time one question has been asked: Do you read Sutter Cane? Well The Thing is, that aforementioned Prince of Darkness is actually a fictional character from the film In The Mouth of Madness so it is impossible to have read his works. Puns aside, this episode is all about John Carpenter's thematic trilogy known as 'The Apocalypse Trilogy'; which consists of The Thing, Prince of Darkness and In The Mouth of Madness. All linked by the narrative idea of the world ending as we know it via some spooky happenings of supernatural of extra terrestrial origins

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
