Over Old Movies

Old Movies! In each episode of this film and conversation podcast, a very special guest brings an old movie to discuss with film curator and programmer Paul Martinovic, to explain why it's so special to them and generally enthuse about it, oftentimes for well over an hour. It's like Desert Island Discs, basically, but with one film instead of several, uh... discs.

aflevering Chris Ryan on EXCALIBUR artwork

Chris Ryan on EXCALIBUR

The Ringer's ultimate 'glue guy' Chris Ryan, of The Rewatchables, The Big Picture and The Watch fame, joins us to discuss a beloved childhood (?) favourite, 1981's Excalibur, from the truly visionary director John Boorman. We discuss the film's outsized legacy and influence, its bizarre sex scenes, the murderer's row of legendary British and Irish actors that make up the cast, and just the generally impeccable vibes. This being a typically tangential Old Movies conversation we also find the time for detours on The Last Dance, Elmore Leonard, R.E.M vs The Replacements, the 2005 FA Cup Final, podcasting during COVID, and the question everyone wants to see answered: whether Bill Simmons would like Paul.

Elena Lazic on THE TRUMAN SHOW

On this week's Old Movies, Radiance producer, Animus founder and Peter Weir truther Elena Lazic joins Paul to discuss his 1998 masterpiece The Truman Show. We discuss Weir's unique directorial genius, why he's currently having 'a moment', the film's debt to Frank Capra and It's A Wonderful Life, Jim Carrey's dominance of the 1990s and the film's miraculous timelessness despite the rapidly changing media landscape of the following decades.

aflevering Paul Vickery on CAREER GIRLS artwork

Paul Vickery on CAREER GIRLS

In this week's episode of Old Movies, longtime friend of the show Paul Vickery, head of programming of the legendary Prince Charles Cinema in London, joins other Paul to discuss all manner of topics - his unusual route into programming, the changing nature of film fandom in a digital world, the erosion of cultural spaces in London, and the PCC's ongoing rent dispute with its billionaire landlord, Asif Aziz. But lest you think it's all old men yelling at cloud while also raging against the machine, we also find the time to discuss how an existential crisis during the pandemic led Paul V to the work of Mike Leigh and in particular his Old Movie of choice, 1997's Career Girls. It's a film about two old friends taking a wistful look back at their shared history in London, and this podcast, it turns out, is about the exact same thing.

aflevering Julia Armfield on THE EXORCIST artwork

Julia Armfield on THE EXORCIST

In the first episode of Old Movies - the world’s first film podcast - novelist Julia Armfield joins Paul to discuss the most infamous horror movie of all time: The Exorcist. In a wide-ranging chat on the film from two card-carrying Exorcist nerds, topics covered include the creative and ideological tension underpinning the between Williams Peter Blatty and Friedkin, the heroic portrayal of the priesthood, its complex treatment of women both on and off screen, and much more besides. There’s even a space for Julia to get off some scorching hot takes on modern horror movie darlings towards the end (with some spoilers along the way). Expect a lot of enthusing, plenty of not-so-subtle Simpsons references, and good evil vibes.
