COMING SOON FROM STINKING PAUSE… Scott. Charlie and Paul are joined by Maurice in Melbourne and Kerry in America to discuss Ted Kotcheff’s extraordinary 1971 psychological drama WAKE IN FRIGHT. It is a brutal, unsettling journey into heat, isolation, alcohol and the sort of hospitality that begins with a friendly drink and ends with your dignity missing. We also celebrate the life and career of the wonderfully distinctive DONALD PLEASENCE, before lowering the tone with our latest CELLULOID STINKER — THE THING WITH TWO HEADS from 1972, starring Ray Milland and Rosey Grier. One great film. One remarkable actor. Two heads. Several regrettable decisions. A new episode of STINKING PAUSE is coming very soon. #WakeInFright #DonaldPleasence #TheThingWithTwoHeads #CultMovies #FilmPodcast #StinkingPause

🎧 Coming soon! 🎬 STINKING PAUSE – EPISODE 208 🎬 This time, we will be heading into the blistering Australian outback for the extraordinary Wake in Fright… before lowering the tone considerably with The Thing with Two Heads.

“Nothing is stronger than the law in the universe, but on Earth, nothing is stronger than love”. For our latest episode, we were joined by @scophi to review the classic: A Matter of Life and Death (1946) All archive episodes can be found on coupleindemnity.podbean.com

Hammer opens the door to a nightmare where every shadow has a secret. For the latest episode of Reel Britannia, we step into the chilly corridors and troubled dreams of Nightmare, Hammer’s 1964 psychological thriller from director Freddie Francis and writer Jimmy Sangster. directory.libsyn.com/shows/view/id/… This is Hammer without the fangs, capes, castles, or buckets of Kensington Gore. Instead, it gives us something colder and more unsettling: a black-and-white tale of fear, memory, manipulation and madness, where the terror creeps in quietly and then refuses to leave. The story follows Janet, a young woman haunted by disturbing visions connected to her troubled family past. Sent home from school after a frightening episode, she returns to a grand country house where comfort, recovery and reassurance should be waiting. Naturally, this being Hammer, they are not. The house feels too still, the people around her seem a little too careful, and Janet’s nightmares begin to blur horribly with waking life. With Jennie Linden, David Knight, Moira Redmond and Brenda Bruce leading the cast, Nightmare is a neat, sinister little puzzle box of a film. Freddie Francis brings his cinematographer’s eye to every shadowy hallway and candlelit room, while Jimmy Sangster delivers one of those beautifully twisted Hammer scripts where nothing is quite as straightforward as it first appears. In this episode, we look at how Nightmare fits into Hammer’s run of psychological thrillers alongside films such as Paranoiac, Maniac and Hysteria, and why these smaller, moodier pictures deserve just as much affection as the studio’s better-known monster movies. We’ll talk about its performances, its atmosphere, its clever structure, and that wonderful sense of 1960s British unease that Hammer did so well. So draw the curtains, check the mirror, and try not to listen too closely to strange noises in the night. Reel Britannia invites you back to Hammer country for a film where the real horror may not be in the nightmare at all. #ReelBritannia #HammerHorror #Nightmare1964 #BritishCinema #HammerFilms #FreddieFrancis #JimmySangster #ClassicHorror #BritishFilm #MoviePodcast

@Bitdead77 Cheers Ian...glad you enjoyed it mate 😀

Redemption, hallucinations, Terry Gilliam… and then, for reasons best left unexplained, Flesh Gordon. directory.libsyn.com/shows/view/id/… This week on the Stinking Pause podcast: we tackle The Fisher King, salute the gloriously battered genius of Terry Gilliam, and end with a Celluloid Stinker involving a Sex Ray. Culture? Possibly. Good judgement? Absolutely not. #StinkingPause #TheFisherKing #TerryGilliam #RobinWilliams #JeffBridges #CultCinema #FilmPodcast #FleshGordon

🎙️ NEW EPISODE ALERT: The Sublime & The Ridiculous! 🎙️Heading your way later today. directory.libsyn.com/shows/view/id/… This week on the Stinking Pause podcast, we are hitting you with a cinematic double bill that absolutely no one asked for, but everyone desperately needs!

Here is what is on the docket for our latest episode: The Fisher King (1991): First up, we dive into Terry Gilliam's visionary masterpiece.

Hard. Buckle up for our review of the infamous sci-fi spoof.

Love, laughs, and a musical about an elephant. What could possibly go wrong? directory.libsyn.com/shows/view/id/… Before Four Weddings made him rom-com royalty, Richard Curtis gave us The Tall Guy, a gloriously daft 1989 comedy starring Jeff Goldblum as Dexter King, an American actor stuck playing straight man to Rowan Atkinson’s outrageously smug stage comic. Then along comes Emma Thompson as Kate, a no-nonsense nurse with a lethal stare and even better timing, and suddenly Dexter’s life becomes a lot more interesting. Directed by Mel Smith, this is a wonderfully oddball British comedy full of theatrical disasters, romantic confusion, awkward passion, and one of cinema’s finest fake West End musicals: Elephant! It is silly, sharp, sweet, and just a little bit rude in all the right places. Goldblum is charmingly gangly, Thompson is absolutely terrific, and Atkinson appears to be enjoying himself far too much as the world’s most unbearable comedy star. A cult gem with big laughs, big hair, and an even bigger elephant. #TheTallGuy #JeffGoldblum #EmmaThompson #RowanAtkinson #RichardCurtis #BritishComedy #80sMovies #ReelBritannia

You’re only supposed to listen to the bloody podcast. Next time on the podcast, we’re climbing into three very small cars and heading off on one of the biggest, cheekiest and most gloriously British capers ever put on screen. Released in 1969, The Italian Job is the film where cool Britannia, criminal mischief and precision-planned chaos all collide in spectacular style. Michael Caine stars as Charlie Croker, freshly out of prison and immediately drawn into a plan so bold it feels less like a robbery and more like a national sporting event. The target is Turin, the prize is a fortune in gold, and the method involves timing, nerve, traffic jams, computer sabotage and, of course, three unforgettable Minis in red, white and blue. But The Italian Job is much more than a heist movie. It is a time capsule of late-sixties Britain, full of sharp suits, dry humour, swaggering confidence and a wonderfully lopsided sense of adventure. It has Noël Coward dispensing criminal wisdom from behind bars, Benny Hill causing mayhem with improbable enthusiasm, Quincy Jones giving the whole thing a fabulous musical kick, and Michael Caine delivering one of the most famous lines in British cinema history. The film moves from London plotting to Italian chaos with the confidence of a movie that knows exactly how much fun it is having. The Mini chase through Turin remains one of cinema’s great set pieces: nimble, inventive, and still thrilling more than fifty years later. So join us as we celebrate The Italian Job, a film packed with charm, style, speed, cheek and just the right amount of patriotic nonsense. It is the story of a plan, a getaway, a cliffhanger, and three little cars that somehow became movie legends. directory.libsyn.com/shows/view/id/…

This time on Reel Britannia, we’re heading to 1989 for a gloriously awkward, sharply funny romantic comedy with The Tall Guy. directory.libsyn.com/shows/view/id/… Jeff Goldblum stars as Dexter King, an American actor stuck in London, earning a living as the long-suffering straight man to Rowan Atkinson’s magnificently monstrous stage comedian. It is a life of bad jokes, worse rehearsals, theatrical humiliation and the slow, grinding realisation that showbusiness may not be quite as glamorous as advertised. Then along comes Emma Thompson as Kate, a nurse with brains, warmth, bite, and absolutely no interest in putting up with nonsense. What follows is a wonderfully oddball love story, full of Richard Curtis wit, late-eighties London charm, backstage chaos, romantic mishaps, and one of the most gloriously daft musical parodies British cinema has ever dared to unleash. Join us as we revisit The Tall Guy, a film of lanky Americans, impossible egos, hospital corridors, theatrical disasters and romance conducted at full comic stretch. Funny, scruffy, sweet, and just a little bit rude in all the right places. Reel Britannia, a very British podcast about very British movies... with just a hint of professionalism. #ReelBritannia #TheTallGuy #JeffGoldblum #EmmaThompson #RowanAtkinson #RichardCurtis #MelSmith #BritishComedy #BritishCinema #FilmPodcast
