Becky and I are to Cornwall this week on Hammer Time for an absolute classic, The Plague of the Zombies. Listen here and in all the usual podcast outlets. https://t.co/ZLvDo7llot

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.

@Mirkku54_46 I know exactly what you mean!!

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.

@Mirkku54_46 I think you may have mentioned Jim before. I'm aware of him, but have never seen any of it.

[EOFFTV @EOFFTV]

@Mirkku54_46 Oh it is! You can extracts and complete episodes on YouTube and they're so worth a look (the episodes were very short).

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.

@Mirkku54_46 Oh no! I tend to have that effect on people!

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.

From the menu for the new Hammer release of The Ugly Duckling, from their new Ships and Giggles box set. I think they might be trying to tell me something...

[EOFFTV @EOFFTV]

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...
