Lee and Cushing: An Introductory Chat with Dan and Kirsty
May 22, 2020 21:57 - 1 hour - 186 MBHoward and Dan will soon resume their epic quest to document in podcasts every filmic collaboration between actors and sometime horror stars Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. As a curtain-raiser, Kirsty offered to bring her perspective to the table and accept an introductory exploration of this unique filmography from Dan. As part of this, Kirsty sampled two particular examples from either end of the Lee/Cushing horror pantheon, The Curse of Frankenstein (1957) and The Satanic Rites of Dr...
New Film Reviews: Grimmfest 2019
May 15, 2020 16:39 - 1 hour - 207 MBHear Stella and Dan's post-festival chat about five films they saw at Manchester Grimmfest last October: Tone Deaf, Why Don't You Just Die!, Artik, Extra Ordinary and The Shed. There's also a 2020-recorded wraparound with Kirsty and Dan which, let's be honest, goes off topic a little as they talk extensively about Alex Garland's TV series Devs and upcoming productions based on Clarice Starling and The Sandman. (We must apologise to the director and sometime-producer of TV's Hannibal, David ...

Missed Classics: Suspiria (1977)
May 08, 2020 11:48 - 1 hour - 95.7 MBIn the first of our occasional strand of 'Missed Classics' - episodes focusing on a milestone work of horror cinema or TV that one or more of the hosts has just never got around to watching - we are devoting an episode to discussing Dario Argento's seminal 1977 Italian shocker, Suspiria. Dan had never seen the film before watching it for this podcast, but Kirsty and Stella, with their academic background, are more familiar with it. The three spend the bulk of the episode discussing Suspiri...

Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)
May 01, 2020 17:00 - 2 hours - 168 MBA special, extra-long, extra-in-depth podcast about the reviled non-sequel turned cult classic, which we've been working on for some time. As part of their series of discussions about every single film in the Halloween franchise in 2018, Howard and Dan recorded a chat with returning Halloween review guests, Steve Timms and Spider-Dan, and you can hear that in this episode. But also in 2018, uber-Halloween III fan Dave Moore held a fan screening of the film in Bury, Lancashire, UK. Dan was...

Halloween Retrospective #2: Halloween II (1981)
April 30, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 105 MBFollowing yesterday's upload of our previously-released discussion on 1978's Halloween, and ahead of tomorrow's brand new special on 1982's Halloween III: Season of the Witch, it made sense to add our show on 1981's Halloween II to our new podcast feed. The discussion was previously released on YouTube in 2018. For this chat, which also takes in a broad discussion of the vast genre of slasher films that came into being following the success of Halloween, regular presenters Howard and Dan a...

Archive Episode: Halloween (1978)
April 29, 2020 16:28 - 1 hour - 117 MBIn 2018, accompanied by a number of special guests, Howard and Dan recorded podcast discussions of every single film in the long-running Halloween franchise, but only the first two were actually made public (they're on our YouTube channel). Soon all of the remaining discussions will be released as on this podcast feed, so for completion's sake, it seemed sensible that the YouTube episodes be included too. And so, here is the first. To discuss director John Carpenter's 1978 classic Hallowe...

Introducing The Podcast
April 24, 2020 10:50 - 1 hour - 103 MBThis is the first ever episode of –And Now The Podcast Starts! And it’s not quite the first episode that we planned. Kirsty, Stella, Howard and Dan had always hoped that they would all feature together in the first episode of the show, but the UK-wide (indeed, virtually planet-wide) lockdown caused by COVID-19 virus has made that impossible. But luckily, the team have been recording eclectic material for months which means that Kirsty and Dan can be your hosts to introduce the concept of th...
