Introduced by Matt ARNOLD IS NUMERO UNO 💪🏻 “Money doesn’t make you happy. I now have $50 million but I was just as happy when I had $48 million.”Arnold Schwarzenegger Arnold Schwarzenegger was perhaps the leading actor of my childhood. A close second being Roger Moore in his seven Bond outings, or Harrison Ford in... Continue Reading →
Film chosen by listener Tom Bhaduri, introduced by Devlin Big thanks to Tom, who emailed this suggestion to us. Neither myself, Matt, nor Gali were big fans of this film in its late-90s video heyday, but we seemed to be the exceptions within our various friendship groups. Event Horizon was a true word-of-mouth, must-see film... Continue Reading →
Film chosen and introduced by Devlin If nothing else, this episode showed me just what a true cult object this film is. Despite my esteemed co-hosts being roughly the same age as me, and us having a decent amount of overlap in our formative experiences and tastes, I was pretty shocked when not one of...

Introduced by Devlin After the CRIMINAL disregard for Halloween III: Season of the Witch shown by the callous and unimaginative general public in 1983, the Halloween name lay dormant for 5 years. I assure you I’m not remotely bitter about this absolute travesty.Now – as we saw in our first episode, 3 years was a... Continue Reading →
Introduced by Devlin Welcome back to HALLORE'EWIND! While our coverage this year is slightly less exhaustive (and exhausting for your humble contributors) than last year's, we've decided to roll out the heavy hitter - John Carpenter's season-defining, sub-genre-spawning slasher classic Halloween. In this first part, we discuss our history with this skeletal, primal film, and... Continue Reading →
Films chosen and introduced by Matt https://open.spotify.com/episode/0BQHhNgLJUcesUQTVzTGZF?si=4e79ca13f5944c97 They, whoever they are, will tell you the Bond you saw first - the Bond you were born into, is inevitably your favourite. When I was young (and my heart was an open book), Roger Moore was my James Bond, and if there’s any explanation for my side... Continue Reading →
Film chosen by Gali, introduced by Devlin I read a fantastic oral history of Donnie Darko which described the film as "everybody's first deep thought", which, while hyperbolic, does help describe the particular temporal space that I found this film in. Approaching 18, chafing at what I felt were the strictures of my small town,... Continue Reading →
Film chosen by Joe We welcome our good friend and uber-talented camera department pro Joe back to the show to discuss his affection for the stylish, influential 1994 hitman thriller Leon. With its poster adorning thousands of student bedroom walls, it's an undeniable touchstone for a whole generation of film lovers: a gateway to European... Continue Reading →
Film chosen by Patrick, introduced by Devlin Our journey through the seamy, sleazy, seductive and sadly short-lived erotic thriller boom of the 80s/90s has thrown up this anomaly - the Walt Disney-produced (well, Hollywood Pictures, but it still counts!) psychiatrist murder mystery thriller Color of Night. Veteran director Richard Rush's career began by making propaganda... Continue Reading →
Film chosen by Patrick, introduced by Devlin As mentioned in the episode, Patrick, Gali and I saw this film together back in Leeds in 2007 during its cinema release. It's a movie-going experience that I rank extremely high in my all-time most memorable - a film that buried itself in my psyche at perhaps exactly... Continue Reading →
