2001: A Space Podyssey Part 2
The Sound of The Picture House
Like the film itself, shorter than the first half. Kevin and Mike travel back in time to the year 2001 came out, 1968. What other films were showing? What were the box office hits and what films were playing in sleepy Uckfield while all this was going on? Some film score favourites and the usual old guff. It's fun. Honest.

2001: A Space Podyssey Part 1
The Sound of The Picture House
An epic film means an epic pod. Kevin & Mike discuss the greatest SciFi of them all and do a deep dive into what it all means. A film Kevin claims to have seen when he was 8 years old and remains one of his most favourite. It's a film like no other. Open the Pod bay doors and throw yourself into the airlock of chat. Or something.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind
The Sound of The Picture House
As a companion to our big screen 4k season at The Picture House, me and Mike Bradbury talk Close Encounters specifically and Sci Fi in general, adding chat about our favourite Sci Fi scores and a couple of suggestions of films you may have missed. We also go into the Time Tunnel, what we were showing in Uckfield and flick through Films Illustrated from March 1978, the year and month Close Encounters was released. What fun!

We're back with a new name and hopefully some more entertaining podcasts from one of the UK's oldest cinemas. Here is part one of a look back at some of the great scores from 2020. I'm joined by film and TV maker Phil Lott from Los Angeles for some frankly wildly meandering but hopefully fun chat with music. Only you can decide.
info_outlineIt's Christmas and I'm joined by old Saint Nick Roe to talk about Christmas movies. It goes reasonably well. Is Die Hard the best Christmas film and what do you get a Wookie for Christmas, when he already owns a comb?
