The Wages of Fear!
The Sound of The Picture House
Kevin and Mike delve into Clouzot's sweaty and tense 1953 classic The Wages of Fear. Frankly, I'm exhausted just thinking about it. Do drop us a line at . We'd love to hear from you.

Thelma and Louise and Kevin and Mike.
The Sound of The Picture House
Like outlaws on the run we finally get caught and publish a new episode. Ridley Scott's massively entertaining road movie from 1991is the subject, so two old white blokes talk about a popular feminist movie. Not ideal, but bear with us, I think we do it justice. Let us know what you think .

Is Citizen Kane the greatest film ever made? You decide.
The Sound of The Picture House

We Are Not An Animal! The Elephant Man.
The Sound of The Picture House

End of year review bonus episode!
The Sound of The Picture House

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.
info_outlineI'm joined this week by composer, conductor and friend of The Picture House Terry Davies. We have a lovely chat about some great film music by Malcolm Arnold, Bernard Hermann, Alex North and Dave Grusin among others. Terry remains erudite, I blather as usual.
