…it’s really distracting & you don’t need it.
The listing of what actors have been is getting really tedious now.
Well worth seeking this one out. The passion and enthusiasm of the participants is infectious. Great to listen to something so idiosyncratic and unusual. It’s at its best if you have recently seen the film they are discussing
…it’s really distracting & you don’t need it.
Came to this having watched Defence of the Realm at a local cinema. I was delighted to find that this is a place where people discuss their love for British cinema and really take it seriously. Looking forward to listening more podcasts and importantly rediscovering UK film.
I stumbled upon this podcast by searching for discussions about Performance (1970) and love the theme of strictly British cinema since my top three favorite films (Performance, A Clockwork Orange, and The Devils) were all made in the UK by (mostly) British filmmakers (Donald Cammell/Nicolas Roeg, Stanley Kubrick, and Ken Russell). I love the wide ranging selection of films and would love it if they reviewed O Lucky Man! (1973), Frightmare (1974), and The Final Programme (1973).
Key themes from listener reviews, highlighting what works and what could be improved about the show.
