  • Retro Movie Club Ep#12 - Enemy of the State (1998)
    Nov 6 2024

    In episode 12, the Movie Club boys are off-grid and broadcasting from an undisclosed location to avoid detection from the security services! Being careful not to use any of the keywords that will trigger government interception, we talk about Enemy of the State, starring Gene Hackman and Will Smith. We discuss how the film holds up 26 years later, lingerie shop customer service and we try a new beer! As well as all this, we talk about Blake’s nightmare journey to Minehead and discuss more Harry Potter than we anticipated! The NSA have caught up with us, we have to get out of here and hope to be back for our next episode!

    After seemingly being taken by aliens and dumped in the desert, Blake and Rich have found their way back to civilisation, after a long break, to talk about Speilberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Along the way, we talk dirt through the kitchen window, the presence of other people at the cinema, cricket legend Freddie Flintoff and get all nostalgic about ‘The Spectrum’. Strap in and start practising those musical notes for when the aliens make contact!!

  • Retro Movie Club Ep#7 - Strangers on a Train (1951)
    May 17 2024

    Blake and Rich take on a Hitchcock classic in episode 7 with Strangers on a Train. We talk plotting the perfect murder, horn-rimmed glasses and playing tennis without a ball! Join us as we discuss our preconceptions of 1950s society and whether it is acceptable to simulate a strangling at a dinner party. We also examine the unexpected importance of a carousel to this movie and we see how this classic film can be transformed into an equally wonderful 80s comedy. Oh, and we talk crêpe…so much crêpe!
