    Oct 19 2022

    Join us as we look at what it might be like to never grow up as we talk about what vampire metaphors can tell us about the nuclear family in suburban 1980s America, with a fair amount of chat about oiled-up musclebound saxophonists, and a bewildering amount about Batman Forever.

  • Interview With The Vampire - ” Good night sweet prince, may flights of devils wing you to your rest.”
    May 11 2022

    It's been a while, but we are back with the first in a small series of Vampire Films - Neil Jordan's lush 90s take on Anne Rice's modern gothic classic.

  • Whistle And I’ll Come To You (1968) ’A sort of... dog.’
    Dec 29 2021

    Something of a Christmas special as we look at a bit of 60s telly that one of us watches every year, and every year he's unnerved by it. A canter through that includes digressions on ghosts, plus-fours and talking while eating. So much wet egg.

    Dec 8 2021

    A dip into the cinematic sewers this week for Pete Walker's exploitation trash that doesn't live up to its poster. It's called The Flesh And Blood Show, but there's a lot more of one than the other.
