  • The Bridge On The River Kwai - with Miles Jupp

    The Bridge On The River Kwai - with Miles Jupp
    May 8 2025

    Actor and comedian Miles Jupp (whose own war movie credits include Napoleon and Rogue Heroes) joins Rob and Duncan to discuss Alec Guinness's Oscar-winning performance in the 1957 classic.


    The film was based on a novel by a Pierre Boule (who would go on to write Planet of the Apes) who decided to transpose his experiences at the hands of his fellow Frenchmen into British characters. At the time it had the most expensive set ever built. Director David Lean hadn't even wanted Guinness - Miles shares his own tales of realising he wasn't the first choice for a role. And Rob reveals why the true story behind the film is even more amazing than the film.

  • EMERGENCY EDPISODE - The Rock

    EMERGENCY EDPISODE - The Rock
    May 6 2025

    EMERGENCY EPISODE! Prompted by Donald Trump tweeting about Alcatraz, Duncan felt he had to watch 1996's The Rock, which Rob thinks is probably a war movie. Is this the first second-screen movie? Does director Michael Bay understand subtlety? How much Nicolas Cage is too much? And is Sean Connery really playing James Bond for the last time.


    We're back to our regular schedule on Thursday, with The Bridge On The River Kwai.

  • Civil War - with Helen Lewis

    Civil War - with Helen Lewis
    May 1 2025

    Rob and Duncan watch 2024's Civil War with Helen Lewis of The Atlantic, whose forthcoming book The Genius Myth is dedicated to the film's director, Alex Garland. Is it really more of a road movie? How come Texas is in an alliance with California? And that's the guy without the camera doing there, anyway?


    Next week: The Bridge on the River Kwai.
