Spent my afternoon listening @EOFFTV talk about his favourite Sergio Leone western. Just like Kevin I’m not a big western fan unless you mean Dollar trilogy, Unforgiven, Butch Cassidy, two mules for sister Sara. I guess I’m a western fan then. #OnceUponATimeInTheWest

Ivo Caprino's The Pinchcliffe Grand Prix (1975) is a wonderfully charming stop-motion tale of motor racing in a small mountain town that has understandably become a national treasure in its native Norway.

Skyfall (2012) saw the Bond series getting back on track after the disappointing Quantum of Solace (2008), with more stakes for Bond and M more personal than ever.

From just before the start of Australian New Wave comes Beyond Reason (1970), a barely remarked upon nuclear attack drama from director Giorgio Mangiamele that never quite manages to pull off its considerable ambitions.

The Magic Roundabout (1965-1977) is another beloved childhood television memory, a surreal and often very witty reworking of the French show Le Manège enchanté with terrific semi-improvised scripts from Eric Thompson.

Quantum of Solace (2008) was a disappointing follow-up to Casino Royale (2006) with its frenetic editing and a script that was being re-written by the director and star due to a writer's strike.

What's this? A remake or infamous shockumentary Faces of Death in 2026? Well no, not quite - it's a meta horror about FoD, with much to commend it though it runs out of steam in a by-the-numbers bloodbath finale.

Roger Christian's directorial debut, the atmospheric fantasy Black Angel (1980), went out as support to Star Wars sequel The Empire Strikes Back, making it arguably the most widely seen short film of all time.

Robert Hughes' Hunter's Blood (1986) is a shameless Deliverance (1972) clone and takes a good while to get going but starts to deliver in a fitfully gory final act. One for hicksploitation completists only really.

The Earth Dies Screaming (1964) is a fun aliens-robots-invading-Earth-using-zombies science fiction thriller from Terence Fisher. It goes a bi awry towards the end, but for the most part this is very entertaining.

Lovely episode of Carry On Up The Podcast for the bank holiday.
It’s the listeners favourite films, stars & funny moments! We've loved watching the films with you. We’re hoping to do another podcast together at some point (Inside Number 9 gets my vote.)

As a kid, Gerry Anderson's Doppelgänger/Journey to the Far Side of the Sun (1969) was terribly exciting. But as an adult... It leaves much to be desired. A shame, as it still has a lot of good things going for it.

Until Deaf Crocodile released it on blu-ray in 2022, the Romanian psychedelic animated space opera Delta Space Mission (1984) was virtually an unknown quantity in the west. Now we can see if for the trippy little gem it is.

The Daniel Craig era of James Bond gets off to a cracking start with the excellent Casino Royale (2006). It'd get a bit patchy from here on, but as new beginnings go, this was unbeatable.

Joy Batchelor's Ruddigore (1966) is a disappointingly serviceable but uninspired animation based on the light comic opera by W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan. And if you don't like their work, you’re in for a very long 54 minutes...
