All aboard for Planes Trains and Automobiles.
The Sound of The Picture House
A treat for Christmas (yeah, I know it's technically Thanksgiving, but that's in the colonies.) Kevin and Mike share the joy and sadness of peak John Hughes and peak John Candy. It's not the destination it's the journey.

Once Upon An Interminably Long Time in the West.
The Sound of The Picture House
Finally! Kevin and Mike take on Leone's "masterpiece" western and don't always see eye to eye. So narrow your eyes menacingly and make dubbed grunting noises as we travel back to 1968ish. This is a good one. Honest.

The Omen. It's a Scary Filum.
The Sound of The Picture House
It's Haloween! Kevin and Mike take a good look, through their fingers, at Richard Donner's rather excellent 1976 thriller, horror. Lots to discuss, not least the casting coup that is Hollywood legend Gregory Peck, severed heads and scary doggies. Take journey to the dark side. Please.

It's a radio for speaking to God.
The Sound of The Picture House
Mike and Kevin dig into Raiders of the Lost Ark. Let's face it one of the greatest action adventure films of all time. Mike fanboys all over the place and Kevin does a terrible Mark Cousins impression. We also delve into 1981, and the fast approaching nadir of the UK cinema industry. Any other podcast means you are digging in the wrong place.

Jaws one not two.
The Sound of The Picture House
Kevin and Mike join the Jaws at 50 celebrations and dive into the film that is possibly year zero for movies. They also take a good hard stare at 1975, one of the greatest years for cinema. Exept for British cinema, which was mostly rubbish.

Bazza Lyndon is back.
The Sound of The Picture House
Restored in all of the K's, Kubrick's "coffee table book of a film" is as magisterial as ever and demands to be seen on the big screen. Kevin and Mike are back with some searing insights.* As well as a peek at what's coming up in the new big screen season. *may not be true.

He say you Blade Runner..
The Sound of The Picture House
A real big screen treat, Ridley Scott's box office flop turned mega cult hit Blade Runner. Mike and Kevin talk longevity, incept dates and all manner of nonesense. That and a dive into September 1982, when cinema in the UK was on its knees. What fun.

The Horror, the horror! Apocalypse Now.
The Sound of The Picture House
This month it's a journey up the river to meet the big bald Col Walter E Kurtz and lop his head off basically. Of course this masterpiece is way more than that, so hop on board and Join Kevin and Mike for a discussion and a few laughs as we also delve in to the cinema landscape of 1979. The horror, the horror.

The Apartment
The Sound of The Picture House
Billy Wilder's follow up to Some Like it Hot was a double whammy of genius. Best picture Oscars and all the box office. It remains one of the great American films. Kevin and Mike explore the themes and talk other nonsense from 1960. That's the way it crumbles, podcast wise.

Lawrence of Arabia
The Sound of The Picture House
Get on board your camels and take a trip into the desert as Mike and I bang on about one of the most spectacular films ever made. Davis Lean's masterful 1962 epic Lawrence of Arabia. Still selling out in Uckfield after all these years. Mad. Lots of other Epic chat too, with some soundtracks thrown in.
info_outlineI know bonus is not necessarily how you might view it, but here is a podcast version of my 60 minute show on Uckfield FM where I play film music on a theme. This weeks trains. I love trains.
