Orson Welles stars in the film Compulsion. And by "stars" I mean he shows up about 2/3rds of the way through the film. So obviously we're using "stars" in a sort of abstract sort of way. Better to use the word "saves". Tu...

A searing courtroom drama this is not. Peter Sellers and David Attenborough both play rather sad and lonely characters, one a murderer, one a barrister. We haven't really sold it that well here. Tune in and see if we do an...

In this week's episode, the beloved Jimmy Stewart plays the accordion-wielding hero we never knew we needed in our lives in a searing and quite heavily train-based Western, Night Passage. Recommendations: Glenn: Raiders Of th...

Michael Caine realizes he can kill people with the incredible wizard-like powers of being really lucky. Mild mannered chaos ensues. Do we like the shock that we got from watching A Shock To the System? Tune in a find out! ...

Meanwhile in a television development meeting... "Hey so we've got this idea for a reclusive archvillain that lives on a remote island in Scotland and experiments with deadly sound waves. Who do you think we should cast?" "S...

It's the end of the year and your favorite podcast cohosts are taking a moment to look back at the films we watched in 2023. Also we discuss some holiday classics and we become far too sentimental about spending time togethe...

You know those movies that people describe as "musicals for people who don't like musicals"? This film may be the opposite of that. It might be useful therapy for those who wish to ween themselves off of musicals. Despite som...

George C. Scott plays a confidence man who takes a young drifter played by Michael Sarrazin under his wing. They lie and steal their way through the south, tricking honest people out of the hard earned dough. This we we are d...

On this week's episode, a British horror film about a very shouty man. Starring Alan Bates, John Hurt, Susannah York and a minor role for Tim Curry, as, strangely, the most normal person in the film. Do we give this film a ...

On this week's episode we watch Denzel Washington's first film. It is comedy based on race relations. Uh huh. So is it worth a watch? Tune in and find out! Recommendations: Glenn: The Rewrite (2014 film) Sarah: The Devi...

Doris Day and Jack Lemmon team up in a romantic comedy featuring everyone's favorite things: lobsters, trains and small town democracy! But what exactly happened to Jane? And does it make for a compelling viewing? Tune in and...

A lot of Vincent Price films are at least visually shocking. So it seems a bit of a shame that they have chosen one of his least shocking films to get the title Shock. And yes, I appreciate that it has to do with a different ...

This week we take a look at Cary Grant's very first film role. And right off the bat he is typecast as an Olympic javelin thrower. But is that enough to carry an entire 1930's romantic comedy/dystopian musical nightmare? T...
