    The Maltese Falcon and Beat the Devil
    2021/10/10
    Following on from our last episode on the films of John Huston, we thought we'd change things up with a look at two more John Huston films. This time it's his first, and still one of his most iconic films, The Maltese Falcon, and a rather more obscure outing from over a decade later that's considered a loose parody of that films form, Beat the Devil.

  • The Holcroft Covenant and The Osterman Weekend

    The Holcroft Covenant and The Osterman Weekend
    2021/09/10
    Robert Ludlum was a prolific author of primarily Cold War espionage thrillers, and so in a way it's surprising that so few of his works made their way into cinema screens, and the vast bulk of those were part of the The Jason Bourne Imbroglio. In this episode, for no real reason other than a fondness for espionage bunkum and baroque titling, we are skipping over the various TV miniseries and taking a look at two earlier adaptations, 1983's The Osterman Weekend and 1985's The Holcroft Covenant.

    Back to the Future(s)
    2021/08/01
    Some time ago we did a whole episode on time travel films without mentioning Robert Zemeckis and ‎Bob Gale's Back to the Future series, their bold updating of Oedipus, so today we remedy that oversight and see if the pride of 1985 and its follow-ups live up to their reputations, and their posters. Remember when movie posters were good?
