    207a - The One & Only Sergio Leone Part 1 (L'Unico e inimitabile Sergio Leone Parte Prima)

    Welcome to 'Matinee To Midnight' - a podcast for big screen enthusiasts. This week, Simon and Matthew dispense with the usual 'matinee', 'prime time' and 'midnight' movie slots in favour of a Roundhay Garden cinema movie marathon. Across two episodes, they will be screening (and discussing) all of the films directed by legendary Italian director Sergio Leone and considering his enduring legacy. But that is not all as composer Ennio Morricone is also being celebrated and will be joining Leone with his own star in the cinema's Alley of Glory. SCREENING TONIGHT The Colossus of Rhodes A Fistful of Dollars For A Few Dollars More The Good, The Bad & The Ugly   *** On this show, Simon and Matthew, the co-proprietors of the fictional 2-screen repertory cinema, 'The Roundhay Garden', will be discussing and recommending movies built around a particular topic. The topic could be a genre, an actor, an actress, a director, a year in movie history or any other theme that comes to mind. And they will each be choosing movies from the topic to programme at the cinema to fill the schedule - a 'Matinee' movie, a 'Prime Time' movie, and a 'Midnight Movie'. This is a film recommendation show, but the movies Simon and Matthew choose to discuss are not necessarily their favourite films on a subject. They are the films that they feel are interesting and worthy of discussion - and best fit into these programming slots.
