- Cine y TV
Now in our fourth series, we're back and this time around we're talking 1980s films of all shapes and sizes. But not just that, we've got eps on 80s TV, and music videos and more! As ever our episodes include trademark features such as Recastarama (where we recast the film using current actors) and Who Am I (where we work out who we would be in the film). Lots of fun to be had. [Our 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and 1970s series are also available]

55- Superman II (1980s)
In this episode Paul and I return to the world of DC Comics with a lively discussion on 'Superman II'. (Note- eagle eared listeners may note I claim that Richard Donner directed the film 'Santa Claus: The Movie' and, upon review, it turns out I was talking complete rubbish).
-
6- Brief Encounter (1940s)
In this episode- also recorded late 2023- Paul and I discuss the David Lean classic, 'Brief Encounter'. You can expect talk of trains, classic film romances and Bath buns.
-
5- Rope (1940s)
In this episode- recorded late 2023- Paul and I once again discuss the work of Alfred Hitchcock with this this conversation on 'Rope', a film right up there with the best of Hitch's oeuvre.

4- Late Spring (1940s)
In this episode- recorded last summer- I finally return to the wonderful world of 1940s cinema and- in particular- to the work of Yasujirō Ozu (the director of 'Tokyo Story') with a solo conversation about his 1949 film, 'Late Spring' (a film well worth watching, if you get the chance). And even though it's a short episode I find time to talk about a number of things but- in particualr- I look at this film from a queer perspective. I also have things to say about The Game of Life.

54- Octopussy (1980s, James Bond #13)
Shaken AND stirred, Kieran, Paul and I are back once again to talk about James Bond with this week's episode on 'Octopussy'. A film, it's fair to say, we have many issues with. Oh, and after Paul has to depart, late in the episode, Kieran and I take stock of the rumours surrounding Aaron Taylor-Johnson maybe being the new 007.

53- Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1980s)
In this episode- recorded right at the tail end of 2023- Campbell and I discuss cult horror film 'Killer Klowns from Outer Space', and dig deep into Campbell's childhood clown trauma which came as a result of seeing this movie at a young age.
