Film chosen by guest David Biggins, introduced by Devlin FINALLY, I got around to seeing this film. Many, many years since I first watched, and loved, Overnight, Mark Brian Smith and Tony Montana's salty 2003 documentary hit job, our esteemed guest David Biggins' pick for this episode gave me an excuse to sit myself down...

Welcome back to our trawl through the Alien universe! After starting back to front with gung-ho actioner Aliens followed by Ridley Scott's cerebral sci-fi chiller Alien, we're back in release order for David Fincher's divisive and dark Alien 3. Controversially stripping Ripley (Sigourney Weaver, now a producer with no small amount of clout) of her... 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.

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.

Continuing our journey through the ALIEN universe, the team backtrack from James Cameron's seminal 80s action sequel sci-fi classic Aliens, which (almost) all of the gang encountered first, to look back at Ridley (Wiggly) Scott's groundbreaking first film in the series. Our Matt has created, as well as this incredible splattery tribute to South Shields'... Continue Reading →
Film sort of chosen by, and introduced by, Devlin with a wonderful YouTube playlist by Matt https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXTibPqCx29HGoX7bInyvj-nNS-hkqCeJ Honestly there's not much to add to this week's episode; other than to say that if you are interested in the labyrinthine process by which HR Giger was hired to create the lead monster in Species, and subsequently...

Film chosen by listener Louis Naum, introduced by Matt I should begin by publicly apologising to my old school friend, Ben, whose bargain bin copy of The Rock I accidentally-on-purpose held onto forever. He recently reminded me of the giant-boxed ex-rentals and free posters up for grabs in Richmond’s video shops like Trinity Video and... Continue Reading →
