The Sound of The Picture House

A mix of great music and film related talk from one of the UK's oldest and most successful inependent cinemas. Presented by the owner Kevin Markwick.

2001: A Space Podyssey Part 2 11/16/2024

2001: A Space Podyssey Part 2 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. /episode/index/show/kevinmarkwick/id/33953582

2001: A Space Podyssey Part 1 11/04/2024

2001: A Space Podyssey Part 1 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. /episode/index/show/kevinmarkwick/id/33771967
