416: Witchfinder General [1968] Movie Discussion
April 21, 2024 18:00 - 40.6 MBIt’s finally time to scrutinize and interrogate our first Vincent Price film and it’s one where he, as a 50-something year old man, is playing a real historical figure in his 20s. Movie magic, aye?! Fair play to him though, it’s a cracking performance. We all thought Witchfinder General was going to be a campy … Continue reading "416: Witchfinder General [1968] Movie Discussion"
415: Wanted [2008] Movie Discussion
April 14, 2024 18:00 - 41.9 MBYes, we know it’s really dumb. Yes, we know it’s pretty ‘out there’ and yes, we know that none of this should really work, but the planets and stars have really aligned to make Wanted an incredibly entertaining experience that we all get a kick out of here at at SFFCH. So come and listen … Continue reading "415: Wanted [2008] Movie Discussion"
414: Down Periscope [1996] Movie Discussion
April 07, 2024 17:28 - 48.5 MBWell, this aint our first submarine movie so we’ll dispense with the usual jokes about things being long and hard and full of seamen. Shame this movie doesn’t dispense with the poor humour. You don’t see Kelsey Grammer in movies much, do you? Not unless he’s hairy and blue anyways. Down Periscope is a movie … Continue reading "414: Down Periscope [1996] Movie Discussion"
413: Experiment in Terror [1962] Movie Discussion
March 31, 2024 17:55 - 55.4 MBWe all know director Blake Edwards here at Spoiler Filled more for his crazy comedies, but he does have a few extra things tucked into his bag of tricks. Things like the neo-noir Experiment in Terror, a surprisingly effective thriller from 1962. (Yeah, we thought it was gonna be a horror movie too) This time … Continue reading "413: Experiment in Terror [1962] Movie Discussion"
412: Freddie as F.R.O.7 [1992] Movie Discussion
March 17, 2024 18:19 - 51.3 MBSome of us here at SFFCH LOVED this film when we only had small, not fully formed brains decades ago. Somewhere over the years, the memories faded and it was lost to obscurity. But this week, like a terrible repressed memory, this film claws it’s way back to the surface and we must deal with … Continue reading "412: Freddie as F.R.O.7 [1992] Movie Discussion"
411: The Small World of Sammy Lee [1963] Movie Discussion
March 10, 2024 18:00 - 45.9 MBThis week we turn the big eye of SFFCH on The Small World of Sammy Lee, a British crime dramedy from 1963 about a cheeky chancer and his desperate attempts to raise a lot of money in a short time to not be beaten to a pulp. Will he succeed or succumb to his brutal … Continue reading "411: The Small World of Sammy Lee [1963] Movie Discussion"
410: Days of Thunder [1990] Movie Discussion
February 25, 2024 18:12 - 37.9 MBWe all love racing films, right? Especially how they are all so different and don’t rely on the exact same climax in every film, right? Sarcasm aside, we’re sure there are some really good racing films out there, but Days of Thunder ain’t one of them, by our reckoning at least. We mean, if you’re … Continue reading "410: Days of Thunder [1990] Movie Discussion"
409: Lair of the White Worm [1988] Movie Discussion
February 18, 2024 18:13 - 56.7 MBA film hasn’t ticked as many SFFCH boxes as Lair of the White Worm has in a while. Big actors before they were famous, laughable dream sequences, a ridiculous villain, cheap special effects, unplaceable accents, a peculiar theme song and the seemingly inability to settle on a tone between: comedy or horror, serious or wacky, … Continue reading "409: Lair of the White Worm [1988] Movie Discussion"
408: Mud [2012] Movie Discussion
February 04, 2024 16:29 - 47.1 MBTime to find out who among the Spoiler Filled Crew are true McConaugheads as we take a look at Mud, one of the films that kicked off The McConaissance. So come and listen to us McConalyze this Southern coming-of-age drama and find out: why we’re so McConaccepting about weird nicknames as Welsh people, who gets … Continue reading "408: Mud [2012] Movie Discussion"
407: Giants and Toys a.k.a Kyojin to gangu [1958] Movie Discussion
January 21, 2024 19:00 - 37.9 MBWhat shall we have from Japan this time; those crazy, weird and wonderful bunch? What about a beautiful anime? Or a chilling horror film? Or maybe a big, stupid monster movie? I know, what about a satirical drama about the caramel business?! So yeah, we’re going a little out of the box this time with … Continue reading "407: Giants and Toys a.k.a Kyojin to gangu [1958] Movie Discussion"
406: One False Move [1992] Movie Discussion
January 14, 2024 19:02 - 52.7 MBWe just remembered that Billy Bob Thornton exists and that he’s great at all this acting malarkey whilst also being a very peculiar human being. And he also writes and directs stuff too! So how could we not set our twitchy sights over One False Move from 1992 and see who is the first to … Continue reading "406: One False Move [1992] Movie Discussion"
405: Krull [1983] Movie Discussion
January 07, 2024 16:33 - 51.3 MBIt’s a right ol’ cult classic is Krull, aye! When you say 80’s Fantasy movie this is definitely one of the first ones to pop into your head. Is that because it’s so well made and entertaining? Is it because it’s iconic? Is it just because of nostalgia? Or is it one of those ‘so-bad-it’s-good’ … Continue reading "405: Krull [1983] Movie Discussion"
404: The Family Man [2000] Movie DIscussion
December 24, 2023 17:18 - 55 MBThe perfect Christmas movie would definitely have a little bit of ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’, a touch of ‘A Christmas Carol’, a whole heap of unexplainable Crimbo ‘magic’, a smattering of ‘angelic figures’ and finished with a sweet layer of ‘lessons learned’. Throw in Nicolas Cage as a cherry on top and where could you … Continue reading "404: The Family Man [2000] Movie DIscussion"
403: The Last Temptation of Christ [1988] Movie Discussion
December 17, 2023 16:48 - 57.2 MBAs Christmas slowly approaches, we here at Spoiler Filled think it’s important to remember what this holiday is truly about. It’s Jesus. In case you were wondering. We’re doing The Last Temptation of Christ. It’s funny because it’s clearly an inappropriate choice for either a Christmas film or a Jesus film. We’re a laugh riot … Continue reading "403: The Last Temptation of Christ [1988] Movie Discussion"
402: Heart and Souls [1993] Movie Discussion
December 10, 2023 18:48 - 35.8 MBBefore he helped Marvel take over the world as Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr had been kicking around Hollywood for a long time. We wanted to go back and see a fresh faced RDJ before the super-stardom and his ‘wilderness years’ shall we say. What we found was Heart and Souls, a supernatural comedy about … Continue reading "402: Heart and Souls [1993] Movie Discussion"
401: Treasure Island [1990] Movie Discussion
December 04, 2023 17:12 - 48.9 MBYar-Har and fiddle-dee-dee me hearties. Welcome to (hopefully) the start of our next batch of 100 discussions here on Spoiler Filled. We kick off on our road to 500 with Treasure Island from 1990, which purports to be the most faithful movie adaptation of the 1883 novel. The question is: is being totally faithful to … Continue reading "401: Treasure Island [1990] Movie Discussion"
400: Batman Forever [1995] Movie Discussion – Redux
November 05, 2023 19:00 - 62.5 MBIt finally happened! We delved too greedily and too deep into the pits of moviedom that we ran out of them and awakened a foul beast: The Remake. So, from now on, be prepared for us to just simply re-do out entire catalogue, repeating the same old stuff whilst only adding superfluous nonsense that wasn’t … Continue reading "400: Batman Forever [1995] Movie Discussion – Redux"
399: Asylum [1972] Movie Discussion
October 29, 2023 18:59 - 50.8 MBSpooky Season rears it’s ugly, burned, maggot-filled, decapitated head once again and we here at SFFCH are ready to vanquish it the best way we know how: make a damned podcast. This time our sights are set on the Horror Anthology Movie, a classic staple of the genre, with the 70’s British film Asylum. Re-animated … Continue reading "399: Asylum [1972] Movie Discussion"
398: Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time [2010] Movie Discussion
October 22, 2023 13:23 - 53.9 MBHe’ll never learn, that boy! What Jamie describes as a ‘morbid fascination’ the rest of us agree would be better classed as a fetish by now: watching video game movie adaptations! Once again, we swim in this bog of sewage hoping to one day find a nugget of gold and this time we have dredged … Continue reading "398: Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time [2010] Movie Discussion"
397: Signs [2002] Movies Discussion
October 15, 2023 15:32 - 53 MBIt’s time to not talk about Mel Gibson (unsuccessfully) this time on Spoiler Filled as we probe into M. Night Shyamalan’s Signs, a film about grief and faith wrapped up in an alien invasion movie. Now, we know its cool to hate on Shyamalan, but this time we’re gonna be uncharacteristically nice and consider whether … Continue reading "397: Signs [2002] Movies Discussion"
396: The Black Cauldron [1985] Movie Discussion
October 08, 2023 18:00 - 42.5 MBA long, long time ago, at the birth of Spoiler Filled Film Conversation Hooray, we all agreed that if we were ever to cover a Disney Animated film it was going to be The Black Cauldron. A movie based on a story based on Welsh mythology which allegedly almost bankrupted the now massive business juggernaut. … Continue reading "396: The Black Cauldron [1985] Movie Discussion"
395: Re-Animator [1985] Movie Discussion
September 17, 2023 18:00 - 55.1 MBHow do you make some of our squeamish members of the podcast enjoy a gory 80’s horror sci-fi film? The answer: turn it into a wacky comedy half way through. We all came to Re-Animator for the delightfully campy and deranged performance of Jeffrey Combs who never fails to deliver, but we never expected his … Continue reading "395: Re-Animator [1985] Movie Discussion"
394: Airheads [1994] Movie Discussion
September 03, 2023 18:04 - 50 MBTime to join the bandwagon pretty late again here on the podcast as we re-evaluate the career of Brendan Fraser (even though we don’t do too much of it) as we rediscover the under appreciated Airheads from 1994. We get: Adam Sandler probably at his least ‘Adam Sandler’, an unexpected and extended Die Hard parody, … Continue reading "394: Airheads [1994] Movie Discussion"
393: Light Sleeper [1992] Movie Discussion
August 27, 2023 14:29 - 62.7 MBGet ready for the quickest tangent towards erections we’ve ever had here on Spoiler Filled as we jump into bed with Light Sleeper, a Paul Schrader crime drama from 1992. This time there is: bemusement at the weird middle-class drug dealer lifestyles, wonderings about what superheroes would be putting in their diaries, discussions about the … Continue reading "393: Light Sleeper [1992] Movie Discussion"
392: A Cock and Bull Story [2005] Movie Discussion
August 20, 2023 18:02 - 58.7 MBHow do you adapt a novel to film where the story being told of the life of a man is constantly interrupted by meandering tangents and you barely get to his birth by the end of the story? Well, turns out you make a film where the film itself is being interrupted by meandering tangents … Continue reading "392: A Cock and Bull Story [2005] Movie Discussion"
391: I Am You, You Are Me a.k.a. Tenkóshi a.k.a. Exchange Students [1982] Movie Discussion
August 14, 2023 19:38 - 54.2 MBAs if ‘body-swap’ films weren’t odd enough, we had to go and choose a Japanese one. But the truly odd thing is how grounded it is with its usually wacky premise. Not only that, but it may also have the most baffling movie title ever. Rich reveals his peculiar obsession with this niche genre of … Continue reading "391: I Am You, You Are Me a.k.a. Tenkóshi a.k.a. Exchange Students [1982] Movie Discussion"
391: I Are You, You Am Me a.k.a. Tenkóshi a.k.a. Exchange Students [1982] Movie Discussion

390: The Brother From Another Planet [1984] Movie Discussion
August 06, 2023 19:07 - 52.4 MB“The Brother From Another Planet”!? Well, with a title like that we’ve got this film all figured out before even watching it. Except, thing is, we really don’t. What we thought was going to be a cheesy, 80’s, blaxploitation, sci-fi schlockfest turns out to be something altogether different and…alien, you might say. It’s got: arcade-machine-fixing … Continue reading "390: The Brother From Another Planet [1984] Movie Discussion"
389: The Hidden (1987) Movie Review
July 22, 2023 22:59This week Jamie fails wonderfully at finding a Kyle MacLachlan vehicle that’s nothing like Twin Peaks in the form of The Hidden. There’s great homage to 80s action movie tropes like two men carrying a pane of glass over a freeway and using more shoulder squibs than sense as well as a tiny peek into … Continue reading "389: The Hidden (1987) Movie Review"
388: Split Second (1992) Movie Discussion
July 13, 2023 19:03This week the Spoiler Filled crew pull on their waders to explore the knee deep floodwaters of post-apocalyptic London in Tony Maylam’s sci-fi action movie Split Second. Listen now to hear why it’s better for everyone that this movie was never released in smell-o-vision and that Peter Weller and Rutger Hauer are in fact different … Continue reading "388: Split Second (1992) Movie Discussion"
387: The Lord of The Rings [1978] Movie Discussion
July 02, 2023 17:46 - 57 MBThousands of years ago, back in 1978, famous animator Ralph Bakshi attempted to tackle an adaptation of the most prolific and influential fantasy novel of all time. “It can’t be done” they all said, and they were right. Well, to an extent anyway, it certainly gives it a good go! We actually quite enjoyed most … Continue reading "387: The Lord of The Rings [1978] Movie Discussion"
386: Dolemite Is My Name [2019] Movie Discussion
June 04, 2023 19:53 - 52.2 MBMovies telling the story of the making of other movies have become very popular over recent years, but one of our favorites has to be Dolemite is My Name, staring Eddie Murphy (in a return to form performance) as Rudy Ray Moore, the creator of the Dolemite character and persona and the subsequently titles 70’s … Continue reading "386: Dolemite Is My Name [2019] Movie Discussion"
385: The Sword and The Sorcerer [1982] Movie Discussion
May 28, 2023 17:36 - 46.2 MBCan you get a more swords and sorcery swords and sorcery film than The Sword and the Sorcerer? Not only does it involve a sword and a sorcerer, but its a three-tiered shooting sword and a monstrous mud-birthed demon sorcerer. Although saying that, they only really turn up at the start and the end. But … Continue reading "385: The Sword and The Sorcerer [1982] Movie Discussion"
384: Into The Night [1985] Movie Discussion
May 21, 2023 17:30 - 45.6 MBEver wanted to run off into the night with Michelle Pfeiffer and/or Jeff Goldblum? Well now you can with…Into The Night, a comedy action thriller from 1985. But we should warn you, should you choose to take this absconsion, be prepared for: questionable slapstick Iranian portrayals, cameos from every movie director working in the 80’s, … Continue reading "384: Into The Night [1985] Movie Discussion"
383: The Asphyx [1972] Movie Discussion
May 15, 2023 14:49 - 43.8 MBIt may sound like some kind of cosmetic surgery for your derriere, but The Asphyx is actually a British horror sci-fi film from 1972 in the vein of Hammer Horror films from the time. Whilst it may have the look down but its certainly lacking a few elements. Elements like a decent script, actual effective … Continue reading "383: The Asphyx [1972] Movie Discussion"
382: The Panic In Needle Park [1971] Movie Discussion
May 07, 2023 16:48 - 54.7 MBhttps://ia801601.us.archive.org/25/items/the-panic-in-needle-park/The%20Panic%20in%20Needle%20Park.mp3 Turns out that Al Pacino really hit the ground running in his acting career. The Godfather was his second staring role, followed closely by Serpico and Dog Day Afternoon, but even in his first starring role in The Panic In Needle Park he really establishes himself as one of America’s greatest. And that’s not … Continue reading "382: The Panic In Needle Park [1971] Movie Discussion"
381: Alphaville [1965] Movie Discussion
April 23, 2023 17:24 - 52.5 MBAh the French New Wave! Celebrated everywhere for it’s impenetrableness! Well, not on this podcast! Neo noir Sci-fi films are pretty much a staple sub-genre these days, but not in 1965 when Jean Luc Godard decided to make Alphaville. Come and listen to us appreciate and decimate this New Wave classic in equal measures in … Continue reading "381: Alphaville [1965] Movie Discussion"
380: Psycho 2 [1983] Movie Discussion
April 16, 2023 18:11 - 56.7 MBWe have been inundated over the last decade or so with movie sequels and remakes that come a long time after their originals, usually trying to capitalize on some form of nostalgia. So this week, we’re going to look at one of the first films to do this and it turns out to be one … Continue reading "380: Psycho 2 [1983] Movie Discussion"
379: Ammonite [2020] Movie Review
April 09, 2023 17:39 - 40.8 MBCan it get any more bleak than a British period drama about an underappreciated female historical figure? Turns out yes, yes it can if you add to that equation lesbianism and the British seaside. Ammonite is like the perfect storm of filmic gloominess fraught with awkwardness, greyness, the British weather and long dead creatures turned … Continue reading "379: Ammonite [2020] Movie Review"
378: Batman and Mr Freeze: SubZero [1998] Movie Discussion
April 02, 2023 17:21 - 56 MBIt’s 1998 and the last thing any Batman fan wants at this moment is any more Mr Freeze in their lives. Then, despite the fact it was probably commissioned to cash-in on the release of Batman and Robin, Batman and Mr Freeze: SubZero comes along and reminds us why these characters are so popular in … Continue reading "378: Batman and Mr Freeze: SubZero [1998] Movie Discussion"
377: D.E.B.S. [2004] Movie Discussion
March 27, 2023 20:50 - 41.3 MBWhat we thought was going to be a Disney Channel film about sorority girl spys surprises us a little by being a Disney Channel style satire of action/spy films about sorority girl spys. Or we think so at least. We’ll give it the benefit of the doubt for being mildly amusing. D.E.B.S. from 2004 chronicles … Continue reading "377: D.E.B.S. [2004] Movie Discussion"
376: Shallow Grave [1994] Movie Discussion
March 20, 2023 18:15 - 59.5 MBTime to revisit past trauma again on the podcast by watching Shallow Grave, a film that was watched far too young by one of the crew (and weirdly unheard of by the rest of the crew) and now it’s time for some catharsis. And it turns out it’s alot tamer than is originally remembered in … Continue reading "376: Shallow Grave [1994] Movie Discussion"
375: 8 1⁄2 [1963] Movie Discussion
March 12, 2023 16:46 - 41.6 MB“We should do a Fellini film” Jamie said. “We all actually learned proper film criticism once upon a time, we can tackle an avant garde classic.” Well, whether it was high expectations or whether its because we’ve spent the last decade talking about obscure trashy films we just didn’t quite get on with this film … Continue reading "375: 8 1⁄2 [1963] Movie Discussion"
374: Love and Mercy [2014] Movie Discussion
February 27, 2023 18:12 - 52.1 MBOh good, another film biopic of a famous genius musician who has gone through some hardships in their life. “We’ve seen it all before” shouts the Spoiler Filled team expecting another run of the mill, oscar-baiting jukebox musical. But what’s this!? Could it be they’ve found something a little more unique, a little more genuinely … Continue reading "374: Love and Mercy [2014] Movie Discussion"
373: A Chinese Ghost Story [1987] Movie Discussion
February 19, 2023 17:07This week the gang talk about the historical-horror-comedy-musical? A Chinese Ghost Story. Tune in now to here Rich struggle with concepts in general and weird horror movie rules in particular. There’s also the invention of Welsh icon Bill Shats and potentially the longest discussion about tongues in Spoiler Filled history. Enjoy!
372: The Manhattan Project [1986] Movie Discussion
February 13, 2023 16:43 - 48.4 MBWell, a film hasn’t confounded us as much as The Manhattan Project in quite a while. A film where John Lithgow’s attempts to get laid lead to the possible nuclear destruction of New York. A film where a child builds a nuclear bomb in a jaunty montage. A film where we are supposed to side … Continue reading "372: The Manhattan Project [1986] Movie Discussion"
371: Hitman [2007] Movie Discussion
February 06, 2023 19:22 - 107 MBOh no! It’s another video game adaptation. Why do we do this to ourselves? To be honest, we’re just glad to watch Timothy Olyphant playing something other than a grizzled sheriff type. Hitman came out in 2007, to our surprise as it does feel like a 90’s movie, and follows the exploits of Agent 47, … Continue reading "371: Hitman [2007] Movie Discussion"
370: King Creole [1958] Movie Discussion
January 29, 2023 17:39 - 93.7 MBUh-Huh-Huh! Elvis has entered the podcast! We watched Baz Luhrman’s Elvis biopic and we figured maybe there’s something to this Elvis guy people keep talking about. So, whilst being most famous for his music, we delve into his movie back catalogue and pick out the one we most fancied: King Creole. Whilst it might not … Continue reading "370: King Creole [1958] Movie Discussion"
369: Mom and Dad [2017] Movie Discussion
January 22, 2023 17:21 - 49.2 MBWhat if one day all parents suddenly had the urge to kill their kids? Huh? What do you mean that doesn’t sound so far fetched? OK, OK, what if one day all parents suddenly had the urge to act on their urge to kill their kids? There we go! Well, that’s what we’ve got this … Continue reading "369: Mom and Dad [2017] Movie Discussion"
368: Over The Top [1987] Movie Discussion
January 08, 2023 18:25 - 78.1 MBSo, we need a sports films to watch so we can go on our usual wrestling tangents, but we’ve already done a wrestling film. What could be the next best thing? That’s right, it’s competitive arm wrestling! Not only that, but its a cheap semi-Rocky rip-off both written and starring Sylvester Stallone as a trucker … Continue reading "368: Over The Top [1987] Movie Discussion"
