"Flash! Flash, I love you! But we only have fourteen hours to save the Earth!" Here we are people, I did promise - the latest episode of Betamax has taken me a month to edit (so much for deadlines) but I hope you'll agree that it's worth it. Marty from Thunderballs.org crashes his rocket into my podcast and brings a bevy of Bond links, Queen chat, Timothy Dalton swooning and plenty more. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Executive producers: Keith Foster, Jimi Fletcher, Mark Drakes, Matt Cunnington, Chris Hopkins, Omar Zambon, Ian Maddrell, Catrin Lowe, Mark Machin, Zoltan Vago, Simon Smith, Wayne McNally, Darren Hodgkins, Dan Wellington, Alex Heale, Philip Rothenberger, Alan Fewings, Tom Carr, James Kennedy, Simon Pegg, Jo Harrison, Anita Singh, Bobby Richmond Associate producer: Chris Oakley Visit www.patreon.com/BetamaxVideoClub for more information about bonus episodes, early access, discounted Betamax Video Club merchandise and more.

'A bit like the embarrassing cousin nobody wants at a family wedding' In this episode, Anna faces her fears and finally watches Gregory's Two Girls, Bill Forsyth's last film and the follow up to the much-loved Gregory's Girl. Joining her to talk about it is film podcaster Rich Nelson. The film revisits Gregory Underwood (John Gordon Sinclair), now in his mid 30s, still living in Cumbernauld and working as an English teacher in his old school. With the help of two of his pupils, Gregory uncovers some shady dealings by a local businessman. Anna and Rich discuss negative expectations caused by unfair comparisons, the importance of moving on in life, and how the late 90s weren't that different from the mid 70s in British cinema. Rich's podcast, Betamax Video Club can be found on Twitter: @BetamaxPod and on all good podcast platforms For more about the Ten Thousand Grains of Sand project go to www.tenthousandgrains.com Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @BillForsythPod

"Pimps is an ugly word. We could call ourselves love brokers." Welcome to the Night Shift, where Simon Smith and I will guide you through the finer points of working in a morgue, organising prostitution and hosting frat parties. At the same time... For those who haven't seen it, here is a link to the movie on YouTube https://youtu.be/7kKzH0hczGo.

"Where do I stand for a corner kick?" One of the most keenly fought battles amongst my friends was who gets to be the guest on this episode - the winner was Adam Hurrey, the man behind Football Cliches (and podcast) and father of my youngest daughter's best friend, which in no way influenced the vote after a few beers at our local non-league ground (Worcester Park FC could quite easily have hosted the game to be honest). Join us as we romp through the tale of how three World Cup winners, Michael Caine, Sylvester Stallone and the UEFA Cup winning Ipswich squad secured a gallant 4-4 draw away to THE NAZIS. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Executive producers: Keith Foster, Jimi Fletcher, Mark Drakes, Matt Cunnington, Chris Hopkins, Omar Zambon, Ian Maddrell, Catrin Lowe, Mark Machin, Zoltan Vago, Simon Smith, Wayne McNally, Darren Hodgkins, Dan Wellington, Alex Heale, Philip Rothenberger, Alan Fewings, Tom Carr, James Kennedy, Simon Pegg, Jo Harrison, Anita Singh, Jason Clarkson Associate producer: Chris Oakley Visit www.patreon.com/BetamaxVideoClub for more information about bonus episodes, early access, discounted Betamax Video Club merchandise and more.

Chris is joined by Betamax Video Club's Rich Nelson to talk about everyone's favourite film where kids talk about toomahs and genitalia. Well, everyone's film like that from 1990 anyway. Yes, we revisit the Arnie comedy classic KINDERGARTEN COP.

Rich Nelson (Betamax Video Club podcast) and Ben Dadds (Top Film Tip) return to Flixwatcher to review Rich’s choice Coming to America. Coming to America is a 1998 romantic comedy directed by John Landis and starring Eddie Murphy (in a number of roles - starting what would become a staple of his), Arsenio Hall, and James Earl Jones. The plot is surprisingly touching, Prince Akeem Joffer (Murphy) rejects the gift of a bride for his 21st birthday and heads to downtown Queens, New York with his assistant, Semmi (Hall) to find true love and someone who’ll accept him as a person, not a prince. Any respectable child of the 1980s will have fond memories of watching this way before the tender age of 15 it was rated as suitable for. A blockbuster at the time, featuring an entirely black cast (fairly unheard of even now) Coming to America is carried throughout by peak Murphy - charming, funny, and knowing - possibly his last great film. Scores [supsystic-tables id=162] Coming to America has aged reasonably well - a reminder of the prospect of multiple Murphy’s being something to look forward to not avoid - but nothing can hide that fact it is over two hours. Coming to America scores 4.01 overall, look out for the sequel. What do you guys think? Have you seen Coming to America? What did you think?

Ben (@TopFilmTip) and Rich (Betamax Video Club podcast) join Flixwatcher to review Ben’s choice the Oscar nominated animation I Lost My Body.   I Lost My Body is a 2019 French animated film based on the book Happy Hand by Guillaume Laurant (who also co-wrote the screenplay) and directed by Jérémy Clapin. It won the Nespresso Grand Prize (critics choice) at Cannes making it the first animation to do so. I Lost My Body is almost two stories, one is the story of a severed hand, dancing and fighting its way across Paris while having to defend itself against rats and pigeons to rejoin its owner. The second is a sad story of orphan Naoufel, who fails at delivering pizza but by chance meets Gabrielle who opens his world to other opportunities. Scores [supsystic-tables id=148] I Lost My Body is best watched non dubbed with subtitles to get the full Paris flavours and charms and with a run time of 81 minutes, it’s very much worth your attention. I Lost My Body scored fairly well, let down a little by repeat viewing but still scores a respectable 3.21 overall. What do you guys think? Have you seen I Lost My Body? What did you think?

My name is Video Club. Betamax Video Club! This is the first of five episodes covering the official Bond movies of the 1980s. My guest is Chris Oakley for his third appearance, as we discuss growing up near the scene of the opening helicopter sequence, my daughter's Godmother climbing the same mountain at the end, and various jokes about buying ice cream for teenage girls. I did take a decision to change the number one song part at the end, this was recorded at the same time of *that* Michael Jackson documentary and well... Didn't fancy it. JAMES BOND WILL RETURN IN OCTOPUSSY.... ---------------------------------------------------- Executive producers: Gary West, Fergus Higginson, Keith Foster Associate producer: Chris Oakley Find out how to get your name here by visiting https://www.patreon.com/BetamaxVideoClub

Hark! It's an 87th Precinct Podcast! Even the most prolific writers need a year off, and so we've skipped past 1967 in our wait for the next 87th Precinct novel, and arrived in 1968 with "Fuzz". This book, one of the better known of the series, sees the return of the squad's nemesis, The Deaf Man! In this episode we explore how McBain uses the real world of politics to inform the 87th Precinct, find out all about decoy cops and consider the weird decisions made when publishing American books in the U.K.. We skip the majority of the 'quiz of the year' this episode as there's so much to pack in, but fret not - we still manage to get caught up in the world of 'Carry On...' (the quiz will be in the bonus episode!) Special mention must be made of Betamax Video Club and Paul's appearance talking about his favourite film, The Transformers: The Movie! Please do check it out. And on the subject of movies, Paul and a special guest will be bringing you a Side-pod all about the Burt Reynold's feature from 1972, Fuzz! Keep your eyes peeled for that.  Thanks for joining us and we'll see you soon for the bonus episode, then book 23 - "Shotgun". Fare Thee Well! * N.B.: some sound quality issues plague this episode. Our microphones were being naughty. Hopefully it won't affect your enjoyment too much.

Finally, Sylvester Stallone makes his Betamax Video Club debut with First Blood. NOT RAMBO. Listen patiently and you'll hear me make that mistake... My guest for the episode was Will Slater, host of the very entertaining Exploding Helicopter podcast. You can follow Will on Facebook and Twitter. Will does talk about an alternative ending for the movie, which I've linked to here. Don't forget to rate, review, like, subscribe, follow, whatever your podcast app allows you to do!

This week I was delighted to be joined by Rich from the 80s film podcast Betamax Video Club to discuss the Roger Moore 007 classic 'The Spy Who Loved Me'.

“I have a message for New York. Central Park is mine.” On this show, Exploding Helicopter is looking back at the Rambo inspired Eighties curio THE PARK IS MINE (1986). Tommy Lee Jones plays a troubled Vietnam veteran who launches an armed takeover of Central Park after he’s pushed too far. Joining Will to review the film is Rich Nelson from the Betamax Video Club. They discuss the film’s First Blood inspirations, questionable policing tactics, and try to figure out just what Tommy Lee Jones is protesting about. And, of course, they take a look at the film’s exploding helicopter action. Episode 64.

Looks Unfamiliar is a podcast in which writer and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington talks to a guest about some of the things that they remember that nobody else ever seems to. This is a collection of highlights from shows nineteen to twenty four, featuring Paul Kirkley on The Kids From Fame Again, Garreth F. Hirons on Sweet 75, Darrell Maclaine on The Brennan JB7, James Gent on When The Wind Blows by David Bowie, Ros Ballinger on Microsoft Explorapedia, and Jonny Morris on Jesta Giggle by The Barron Knights. Along the way we'll be finding out why The Barron Knights should have covered T.V.O.D., where the whistling from Never Let Me Down was 'borrowed' from, and which former member of Nirvana really loves accordions. Plus there’s also something you may not have heard before – Tim on Betamax Video Club talking about Absolute Beginners, and an extra downhill slaloming surprise at the end... Don't forget that you can find the full versions of all these editions - and details of how to buy my new book Can't Help Thinking About Me - at http://timworthington.org

The first episode of Betamax Video Club focuses on Withnail & I.   I was joined by Rich Johnson from The Football Attic to discuss the cult classic.
