  • Excellent Show

    I may be biased (as a firm fan of the Hammer over), but this is one of my favorite film podcasts. Witty, informative, and expertly produced!

  • An Epic Quest

    I appreciate the hard work that goes in to this epic quest to review every Hammer film but I have to ask, why skip around all the short subjects? Dick Turpin - Highwayman, A Man on a Beach, Danger List, Clean Sweep, The Right Person, a hand full of music and travelogue shorts…they’re all out there somewhere. Some were extras on the DD DVD releases. Perhaps you could do an episode or two devoted to them. There were some interesting names involved and these were legit Hammer productions.

    Maybe, a... more

  • What happened?

    During the episode reviewing The Evil of Frankenstein ( admittedly a poor entry in the series) one of the contributors went on a five minute rant about “ neckbeards” ( whatever that is) complaining because they disagree with them about Hammer. I mean come on fellas, your takes you are entitled to but whinging because some people disagree isn’t playing the game at all. For the record after 1962/3 the hammer horror output became patchy at best with very few exceptions but that’s my opinion.... more

  • Important and funny with it.

    Genuinely one of the best-researched, best-presented pods out there - a 100% complete film by film analysis of Hammer Studio’s output, beginning with The Mystery of Marie Celeste and currently at Freddie Francis’ Nightmare. The team have a great spark, they’re very at ease and you’ll learn stuff as well. An important body of film criticism.

  • What happened?

    Started off well but the laddish joking, apparently deliberate iconoclasm and lack of basic facts has let this podcast down badly. I really wanted to like this but I spend half the time screaming “get on with it” and the other half screaming “did you guys watch the same film?” This could have been great……..but…….
