    Sound Barrier: A Ghost Story (2017) & The Phantom Carriage (1921)

    A spooky double-bill for our eighth Sound Barrier podcast: A Ghost Story, David Lowery’s high-threadcount, high-concept tale of love and loss, and The Phantom Carriage, Victor Sjöström’s long, dark night of the soul.

    Sound Barrier: Der Müde Tod (1921) & The Seventh Seal (1957)

    We’re breaking the Sound Barrier rules again. Or bending them slightly. Once more, the new-release film we want to discuss in this episode is actually silent. It’s the theatrical re-release of Fritz Lang’s Der Müde Tod (Destiny, 1921), so we decided to pair it with Ingmar Bergman’s The Seventh Seal (1957). This means that today … Continue reading Sound Barrier: Der Müde Tod (1921) & The Seventh Seal (1957) →

    Sound Barrier: The Red Turtle & Wall-E (2008)

    Come break the Sound Barrier with us again. In this episode, we go to the edge of the world and the ends of the earth and back again with two animated features. We’re talking about Studio Ghibli’s modern silent The Red Turtle (in cinemas now), and also Pixar’s beloved Wall-E from 2008. We talk about ‘Dustbuster Keaton’, teenage … Continue reading Sound Barrier: The Red Turtle & Wall-E (2008) →

    Sound Barrier: Mindhorn & The Mystery of the Leaping Fish (1916)

    This episode of the Sound Barrier features two druggy and slightly dim detectives. We're talking about Julian Barratt's absurdly funny TV spoof Mindhorn and the cult favourite that is The Mystery of the Leaping Fish (1916), starring Douglas Fairbanks as sleuth Coke Ennyday.
