The Sound of The Picture House Kevin Markwick

A most excellent chat with award winning journalist and broadcaster Samira Ahmed about her memories of cinema visits across three continents. It was an absolute joy to reminisce about all manner of films from The Wizard of Oz to Beneath The Planet of The Apes and points in between.

The prodigiously talented actor, writer, director Andy Nyman talks to me about some of his special memories of being in a cinema, including Jaws and The Devils as well as old Leicester cinemas, frightfest and the wonderful thing that is Medicinema. It was a joy.

Film & TV Composer H. Scott Salinas joins Phil & I from LA. A really entertaining and insightful look at film music, the influences and the that go into making a great score. With some cracking tunes.

I'm joined this week by composer, conductor and friend of The Picture House Terry Davies. We have a lovely chat about some great film music by Malcolm Arnold, Bernard Hermann, Alex North and Dave Grusin among others. Terry remains erudite, I blather as usual.

Part two of Phil and I banging on about some of the best scores of 2020. Just as February  looms large. Some fine music and inane chat if that's your thing. Please subscribe and like and tell your friends. Let's keep cinema alive!

We're back with a new name and hopefully some more entertaining podcasts from one of the UK's oldest cinemas. Here is part one of a look back at some of the great scores from 2020. I'm joined by film and TV maker Phil Lott from Los Angeles for some frankly wildly meandering but hopefully fun chat with music. Only you can decide.
