Introduced by Matt Star Wars (1977) "Let the Wookiee win." C-3PO, Star Wars It's always easy in retrospect to play post-structuralist, but for context, Star Wars is considered a crowd-rallying, post-Watergate and Vietnam War phoenix from the flames. It truly was a period of civil war in the USA, with gritty, cynical pictures mirroring the... Continue Reading →
Film chosen and introduced by Matt In every sense, 1999 was a year of profound horror. I was sixteen going on seventeen, and careering towards my final year of secondary school. The queasy terror of receiving distinctly average GCSE results—though thankfully they were good enough to nudge me into a technical college, accompanied by a... Continue Reading →
Introduced by Matt Discounting Piranha II: The Spawning—from which James Cameron claims to have been sacked, in a shrewd attempt to distance himself from, and disown it—and his underwater documentary work, he's only actually directed eight films, and for me, only three are worth your precious time: The Terminator, Aliens, and Terminator 2: Judgment Day....

Introduced by Matt Home Alone is not for everyone. As much as my dad laughs at Gerald G. Bamman's indelible portrayal of the miserly Uncle Frank, I’m certain it's not entirely his cup of tea—though I do cherish the memory of him taking me to see Home Alone 2: Lost in New York at the old...

Film chosen by listener Louis Naum, introduced by Matt Anyone who’s ever upped and moved to a new town recognises The Lost Boys’ eighties, tropey Karate Kid vibes. I responded immediately to the plight of the Emersons—not because I ever relocated myself as a child, but as I’m from Catterick Village—ten minutes from Catterick Garrison, which remains the...

Our LV-RMP series charting the tangled timeline of the Alien and Predator franchises stays resolutely earthbound for the 2007 second round of extra-terrestrial fisticuffs, AVPR: Aliens vs. Predator – Requiem, directed by the debuting Brothers Strause. We resume in the immediate aftermath of the last film, as a terrifying hybrid xenomorph-yautja chestburster emerges from the... Continue Reading →
Film chosen and introduced by Matt I’ve watched The Bodyguard perhaps as many times as Frank Farmer’s watched Yojimbo. Alright, maybe not that much. But I've seen it a lot... I've seen it a lot. Due to that, this was an effortless first encounter to trace, as I have pristine memories of the summer surrounding... Continue Reading →
Film chosen by listener Jamie Russell, introduced by Matt I can totally recall my oldest friend, Rob, and I watching RoboCop together, possibly as young as 8, and gravitating towards ED-209. I’m not certain if we saw the theatrical version, or a censored cut taped off the telly, but I do remember the film adorning... Continue Reading →
Film chosen and introduced by Matt How do we even begin to discuss, or write about our favourite films? Is Jaws the greatest ever? I can't say—it’s so subjective. But it’s my favourite. I know that much. It’s perhaps impossible to express my deep-seated adoration for it, but let's try. Stanley Kubrick's The Shining (once... Continue Reading →
