Podcasts about cinema eclectica

It's time for our Halloween special, and it's a very special Halloween special this year. Not only is it our last episode, but we're reviewing our favourite horror movies! First up, Mick nearly breaks the purpose of the show by questioning whether The Wicker Man is a horror movie or not. Then Tim brings a late-period Hammer classic out of its sarcophagus with Blood From the Mummy's Tomb. In the second half of the show, Rob opens the book on Jennifer Kent's queer cinema milestone The Babadook, and finally Graham risks the wrath of Stephen King with Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. What better companion to a quiet five months in? Not that we plan to be gone for that long. Cinema Eclectica may be over, but we've got two - two! - new movie podcasts coming your way in 2021. Thanks so much for all your listens, shares, reviews, Question of the Week answers and so much more over the last five years, and come January we're looking forward to seeing you all again!

Graham and Rob hit the road in a stolen car - figuratively, in case our mums are listening to this - to review Sam Peckinpah's 1970s crime classic The Getaway. Starring Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw, written by Walter Hill and Jim Thompson, and with didgeridoos by Quincy Jones, it's got a hell of a pedigree. At the notably less scuzzy end of cinema, Graham reviews the inspirational activist biopic Miss Virginia, with Uzo Aduba, and we discuss historical periods and events we'd like to see more movies about. Pop Screen is coming in 2021, but Cinema Eclectica isn't going quietly - the next two Director's Lotteries have been picked, and they're amazing! Listen to find out more...

Settle in for your next long, long car drive with Cinema Eclectica! This week, Rob and Graham are reviewing Charlie Kaufman's Netflix original, I'm Thinking of Ending Things. Opening up questions like "What is the nature of time?", "Are any of us truly unique?" and "What's with the pig anyway?", it gives us plenty to chew over. Our increasingly inappropriately named Off the Shelf section sees us make two trips to the cinema, as Rob checks out the 25th anniversary of Matthieu Kassovitz's French gangland classic La Haine. A film that merely feels like it was made 25 years ago, meanwhile, is The New Mutants, the intended trilogy opener that instead marks the end of Fox's X-Men series. We've got Mick and Andrew in from our sister show 4Panel to look at that one. If you like the podcast, send some support by visiting our PATREON (http://www%2Cpatreon.com/thegeekshow) .

Wind up the music box and make sure you're camping on a reputable campsite, Cinema Eclectica is reviewing Johannes Nyholm's time-loop horror Koko-Di Koko-Da this week. A festival favourite that's proved more divisive among - is it insulting to say normal people? Probably - normal people, what do Graham and Rob make of it? Off the Shelf sees Rob open another puzzle box, this time Second Run's new Blu-Ray Vitalina Varela. The latest from Portuguese auteur Pedro Costa, he finds it a forbidding place to start. It's no wonder we had confusion all up in our minds this week, a feeling we exorcised with a Question of the Week that asked what movies baffled you the most.

Cinema Eclectica is a little different this week - and it's not just because we're risking another bad review from Covid-19 by going back into the cinema. It's because we've arranged the show backwards to accomodate our Film of the Week, Tenet - so those of you who want to go in completely cold can enjoy the rest of the show before we start discussing it in the second half. For the rest of you, Andrew, Rob and Graham are here to review Christopher Nolan's Saviour of the Theatrical Experience™ plus a new physical release from Mubi, Kantemir Balegov's Cannes hit Beanpole. There's also a Question of the Week about comedians you think deserve a better shot at big screen glory, and a lot of references to Ghostbusters for some reason. We're still not entirely sure why.

Another Director's Lottery week, another chance for Tim, Mick, Rob and Graham to tear the show apart over the merits (or demerits) of a classic film - this time Toshio Matsumoto's punk-as-hell queer Oedipus Rex modernisation Funeral Parade of Roses. And if you think that sentence was a lot to take on board, wait until you hear the impassioned armchair debate. That's not debate conducted from armchairs. That's debate ABOUT armchairs. Off the Shelf has two Blu-Ray reissues from Luc Besson's '90s work, as Studio Canal offer Tim and Mick the chance to reassess The Fifth Element and The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc. Were we right to be irritated by Chris Tucker's performance in the former? Or to ignore the latter entirely?

OK, place your bets now: how long before someone does a Brian Blessed impersonation? This week's Cinema Eclectica is headlined by Mike Hodges outrageous Flash Gordon - and if you think the director of Get Carter was an odd choice, wait until you hear who nearly directed it. In Off the Shelf, Tim takes a look at the new VoD slasher movie Open 24 Hours, which makes a persuasive case for anyone who buys a sou'wester to be put on a police register of some kind. Mick, meanwhile, is dazzled by the time-hopping cross-cutting genius of Fish Story, released in a new Blu-Ray edition by Third Window films. Next week: hobos!

Cinema Eclectica is back for another round-up of the latest streaming titles, this week taking in America and Romania via Japan. First up, Rob lauds Julia Garner's performance in #MeToo drama The Assistant, then Graham is off to Tokyo with frequent flier Werner Herzog for his haunting new film Family Romance LLC. Are there Herzog impersonations in this review? Gosh, we'd hate to spoil it for you. Finally it's back to Rob, who finds a new respect for a movement - the Romanian New Wave - that hasn't thrilled us in the past. But Corneliu Poromboiu's The Whistlers isn't your standard Romanian film, not least because its dialogue is in English, Spanish... and whistling. No, really.

This week's Cinema Eclectica is devoted entirely to Badaptations - those times when, in between the page and the screen, something vital goes missing. Graham's choice is 1995's The Scarlet Letter, in which one of the most introverted and spiritual of 19th-century novels is turned into a Demi Moore bonkbuster. Hester Prynne isn't the only one suffering from lack of fidelity. Being too faithful to the source can also be an issue, as Aidan discovers when he reviews the slavishly accurate L Ron Hubbard adap Battlefield Earth. Hundreds of people worked on this film and not one of them challenged John Travolta on his outfit. Finally Rob rounds us out with World War Z, a classic case of Hollywood buying up a cult bestseller, realising it can't be turned into a PG-13 action movie, then going ahead and doing it anyway.

This isn't quite Cinema Eclectica's dance special, but it gets weirdly close - with Pablo Larrain's psychosexual reggaeton epic Ema as Film of the Week, and a Question of the Week about your favourite cinematic dance scenes. The answers take in everyone from Gene Kelly and Ginger Rogers to Greta Gerwig and Adam Curtis. Elsewhere, Rob takes a look at Fritz Lang's final film, The 1,000 Eyes of Dr. Mabuse, a throw-back to his silent days now reissued on Eureka Masters of Cinema. Streaming Spotlight, meanwhile, sees Graham reviewing Adult Life Skills, the cult British comedy that's just resurfaced on Netflix. As for next week - THAT'S going to be a special...

Given the current *waves hand around to indicate everything*, streaming has quickly become an even more central part of the cinema release calendar. With that in mind, Cinema Eclectica presents its first streaming special, with interweb-based reviews from Rob, Mick and - until his Virgin Media signal collapses - Graham! (Of course this would happen on our streaming episode) Join the gang for reviews of outrageous Netflix documentary Circus of Books from producer Ryan Murphy, weird suburbia in Lorcan Finnegan's debut Vivarium, and one-location Russian horror-comedy freakout Why Don't You Just Die! There's also a Question of the Week about your favourite Netflix originals, during which the words "Roma" and "Irishman" are honestly mentioned less times than you might expect.

This week, Cinema Eclectica pitches its revivalist tent in the wild world of religious cinema, with Graham looking at the three films born-again exploitation movie director Ron Ormond made with fire-and-brimstone preacher Estus W Pirkle. On the other end of every possible scale, the Devil made Rob review Rosemary's Baby, Roman Polanski's classic Satanic chiller. Quite the classiest thing with a William Castle production credit, there. Mark's Bond retrospective, this week, covers the highs and lows of Pierce Brosnan's tenure. At first he looked inwincible, then he got the keys to an invisible car. And our new feature Streaming Spotlight looks at the glut of new films diverted to online releases during lockdown - kicking off with Andrew Kötting's The Whalebone Box, out now on Mubi.

It’s Takeover week here on The Geek Show Network, and since we were so rudely shoved out of our usual seat by the boys from Cinema Eclectica we decided to run riot over the crazy paved paths of Literary Loitering.    So how does one cram superheroes into art and literature, or literary characters into comics? That’s what we’re here to find out …   After that it’s time for our slice of comic-book goodness which this week include Symbiote Spider-man, Jack Staff by Paul Grist, and the audio-book Thor: Metal Gods from Serial Box.

Never one to do things the normal way, Cinema Eclectica are celebrating Valentine's Day in March with our nominations for cinema's best ever couples. It's all part of our celebration of Celine Sciamma's Portrait of a Lady on Fire, one of three new releases we review this week. Before that, it's the first part of Mark's Bond retrospective, kicking off with - what else? - the Connery era. OK, so we don't always mix things up. After that, Tim trips out and Cages up with Richard Stanley's comeback Colour Out of Space, Graham asks "you OK, Australia?" after seeing Justin Kurzel's True History of the Kelly Gang, and finally Sarah paints us a picture of the biggest foreign language film of the year that doesn't include a beef noodle recipe.

Easter is approaching and to get in the spirit of things, we've been doing some flipping. Only instead of pancakes, it's podcast hosts! This week, Graham and Rob have come from Cinema Eclectica to deliver a level of taste and class never heard before on 4-Panel... and then immediately abandon it as they discuss the cheestravaganza Danger: Diabolik. Then our two intrepid guest hosts show their comics cred by talking about their favourite books, followed by the usual reviews. This week we have Humanoid's Shangai Dream and Warren Bond by Chris Browning. If you've enjoyed this podcast then please share us with your friends or leave us a rating on your podcast app of choice.

No, your eyes do not deceive you. This week our sister show Literary Loitering is taking over Cinema Eclectica, and to mark the occasion Rob, Graham, Andrew and Sarah are reviewing the latest smash blockbuster from the Lumiere brothers, Arrival of a Train at a Station. Before that, they discuss some recent film news including the Hollywood Reporter's secret Oscar voter, a bizarrely (or brilliantly?) cast new version of Cinderella, and discover that Universal might just have cracked their monster universe. And by "cracked" we mean "broke". Reviews include Netflix Tay doco Miss Americana, anime fantasy Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms, Celine Sciamma's trans coming-of-age drama Tomboy, and we review Harpoon again just because we can. There's also a quiz on the many weird ways movies have been retitled overseas. If you like the podcast, send some support by visiting our PATREON (http://www%2Cpatreon.com/thegeekshow) .

It’s 2020 and the boys are back with an all new volume of 4-Panel! Yes, like a scientist rebuilding himself into a glowing blue god with a huge neon elephant, we’re now a new and improved 4-Panel… And one with a whole new segment to boot! Join us (and special guest, Cinema Eclectica’s Graham) for our inaugural Comic Movie Club as we look back at one of the most interesting shows of 2019, HBO’s Watchmen. Then we get into what we’ve reading, which this week includes the Flaming Carrot Omnibus, Granblue Fantasy, Daria Bogdanska’s Wage Slaves, a lovely of sci-fi goodness with Invisible Kingdom and William Gibson’s Alien 3 and, of course, lots of gushing over how great Immortal Hulk is.

An Elvira Approved Podcast We don't often get a British film that we can all sink our teeth into here on Cinema Eclectica, so when one finally does appear we tend to subject it to a bit of … erm … mauling. Oh dear. The target of all this enthusiastic … nuzzling let's say (it sounds better than mauling!), is Sebastián Lelio's English language debut film, "Disobedience". Oh dear, oh dear … It's not all "bad" news though, as we get re-invigorated by "Elvira: Mistress of the Dark" at the midpoint of the show so we have all the power for the home stretch. After that energy boost, Aidan contends with John Schlesinger's "Yanks" while Mick does his very best to convert all of us to the Church of Ingmar Bergman using the baffling "Serpent's Egg" (yes, Elvira allowed us to find the innuendo in that one too). But that isn't all we have for you this week, as our roving reporter Mark returns to talk about the eighth instalment in the R long-running Rocky franchise … sorry, make that "Creed II". If you enjoy the show, share us with your friends, give us a review on your podcast app of choice, or even better head over to Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/thegeekshow) . The latter will help us continue producing this and many other podcasts long into 2019.

Examining Neil Young's Nostrils A New Duo Emerges! Join Aidan and Sarah as they discuss the latest film from the critically adored Steve McQueen, and what they find is that "Widows" is strangest of all beasts - an accessible film (well, accessible for Steve McQueen anyway as that guy has some bleak chops). About half way through the show we have a rather extreme change in tone from mean streets and heists to screwball comedy as Sarah tackles the the Criterion release of "My Man Godfrey" starring William Powell. After that it's Aidan's turn on the movie rodeo, and this week he's got Scorsese in the director's chair with documentary-cum-concert movie "The Last Waltz" - which may be a little out of his comfort zone but oh well … It's in weeks like this that we really earn our moniker of Cinema Eclectica. Did you like what we have to offer? Of course you did, and if you want us to make more then there are a few ways you can show your appreciation.

Jeff Goldblum's Massive Tricycle So there's this hotel over in California where you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave - largely because you're still on the member's list. This week Aidan, Graham and Rob are booking into Drew Pearce's "Hotel Artemis" - which is an uncommon original screenplay in a summer of sequels, but does it live up to its extraordinary guest list? Oh, and if you're thinking "Hang on, Hotel Artemis wasn't the big release of last weekend", then don't worry because Mark has you covered since he went to see "Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again!", specifically for the … erm … distinctive performance of Pierce Brosnan. After that there are troubling discoveries in Off the Shelf, not least of which is Rob learning who Pitbull is via the medium of Aidan's review of "Gotti". After that we have an Arrow Video round-up, with Rob taking on '80s slasher "Doom Asylum" before Graham takes a quick look over Tale of Cinema & Woman is the Future of Man: Two Films by Hong Sang-soo, and Troy Duffy's divisive cult item "The Boondock Saints". If you liked the show, head over to The Geek Show (http://thegeekshow.co.uk)  and see what other podcasts we have to offer or pop over to our PATREON and send some pennies our way.

The Geek Show rolls into town once again on its never-ending quest to prove that sometimes the world is just a really weird place ... This week Rob from Cinema Eclectica joins Producer (and man who ate soup while reading the news), Rob for another excursion into the weird mists of science and technology, and kicking things off is the shocking revelation that students in the UK can't read analogue clocks!  After that it's a cavalcade of oddities from the religious (statues of Jesus and mobile phone exorcisms), and the technological (forearm-based “touchscreens” and giant robots), to the scientific (keeping pig brains alive), and the downright strange (you'll know them when you hear them).

The Ingmar Bergman Cinematic Universe Sometimes drastic measures must be taken in order to bring balance to the universe, which is why we're making the effort to placate the spoiler-wary by moving our Film of the Week to the back of the show. So we start with Off the Shelf this week where the BFI's reissue of Ingmar Bergman's "The Touch" gives Mick a case of butterflies, and Powerhouse's Blu-ray of "Suddenly, Last Summer" has Graham probing the dark secrets of Elizabeth Taylor (steady on there chaps). After that it's time for the most ambitious crossover event in blah, blah, comic-books, blah, ten years, blah, etc, when Thanos comes to town in "Avengers: Infinity War". Don't worry, because although we won't tell you who lives and who dies, we will definitely tell you who amongst us liked it and who's being irritatingly contrarian.

**Ulysses Klaue: Villainous Temp** This week we've replaced Andrew with Rob from Cinema Eclectica for our Black Panther Special! Before we head to Wakanda we discover that Alex Garland wants to make a Swamp Thing movie and Brian Michael Bendis wants to make a Kitty Pryde film, and then it's time for the good ship 4-Panel set sail for Africa to spend some quality time with King T'Challa. With the release of Marvel's new blockbuster movie Black Panther, we discuss the film before sticking our heads into some quality (if suspiciously-themed), comics including Black Panther: Avenger Of The New World, The Defenders.

Ullo John Waters, Got a New Motor The first rule of Gothic literature is that everyone has dark secrets and no-one can be trusted - as Rob, Mick and Graham find out when the local cinemas nix their plans for "Phantom Thread" to be Film of the Week. Worry not though, as Daniel Day-Lewis' Whitby vacation is still covered, along with the more commercial Gothic stylings of Helen Mirren's new horror film. Is it for the "Winchester", or get-in-Binchester? Off the Shelf has a Criterion special with Rob covering Jonathan Demme's "Something Wild", Mick discovering the fiftieth anniversary of "Night of the Living Dead", and Graham talking about Wes Anderson's directorial debut "Bottle Rocket". We should warn you that there are potentially controversial opinions on this episode, but we manage to evade the lynch mobs - until the very end that is … Enjoy a good bit of Cinema Eclectica and want to give a little back?

Putting Bosoms on the Back-Burner It's the first regular show of 2018 and Graham is already being judgemental about the films the that Ryan and Mick are looking forward to in our New Year's Question of the Week. Can one of them get their own back by catching him out on film trivia in Off the Shelf? That, we cannot say … What we can say is that we're reviewing Straight On Till Morning from StudioCanal and The Battle of Algiers from Cult Films, but before that comes our Film of the Week - Martin McDonagh's Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. It's Oscar-tipped McDormand performance made us Frances Ha, then Frances Shudder, then Frances Cry. Want to support Cinema Eclectica and ensure it runs long into the future?

It's time for our review of 2017, and with it comes the usual cliffhanging tension. What will Rob, Graham, Aidan and Ryan pick as their films of the year? What will be the most breathtakingly perverse top ten choices? Whose voice will give out first from seasonal flu? All of these questions (and some more), will be answered in this bumper special episode. There's also a slight return for Question of the Week as we asked our listeners for their favourite films of the last year and a round-up of our favourite home entertainment releases, as well as a trip down awful memory lane with our least favourite films of 2017. We'll be back in a couple of weeks, or however long it takes for Ryan to recover from being reminded that Alien: Covenant was a thing.

Come Back British Folk Horror! Come Back! Not only does British folk horror need to come back, so too does our wi-fi! We have some issues throughout the show and for that we apologise in advance. Still, we motor on like the podcast titans that we are. We kick off the show with Masaki Kobayashi (the winner of last week's Director's Lottery), and his seminal Japanese horror "Kwaidan". After that we continue our ongoing look at the king of silent comedy - Buster Keaton - with "Steamboat Bill Jr." before finishing the show in Korea with Hoon-Jung Park's "The Tiger: An Old Hunter's Tale" Do you like Cinema Eclectica and want to ensure it continues long into the future?

Even David Cronenberg Has His Limits Above all else, Cinema Eclectica wants to heal your soul. Do you have traumatic memories of Watership Down? Ryan's review of BFI Flipside's "The Orchard End Murder" might be able to help. Is your home life confusing? It can't be as confusing as Vittorio de Sica's "Marriage, Italian Style", reviewed by Aidan. And if you're just worried that you're a bit messed up, well … we all felt a bit better about our own hang-ups after hearing Rob review "Kuso" - the debut film from Flying Lotus. Our therapeutic odyssey culminates in one of the most sensitive and psychologically accurate motion pictures ever created - Ed Wood's "Glen or Glenda". They don't make 'em like that any more, but before you think of thanking any higher power remember that next week sees the release of "The Emoji Movie".

Ryan and Aidan went to Edinburgh and all we got is this podcast minisode (we don't think you'll ever get that on a t-shirt). In this special edition of Cinema Eclectica we join them as they discuss Terence Malick's "Song to Song", the Irish medieval thriller "Pilgrimage", Persona in Scotland with Gary Love's "The Dark Mile", mumblecore animation and former feature of our preview section in "My Entire High School Sinking Into the Sea", and Kyoko Miyake's exploration of the Japanese obsession with girl bands in "Tokyo Idols".

Beachy Beachy Fun Times with the Rock Rob and Graham go head to head after accidentally super-gluing their foreheads together. It's a two-man show this week that starts with an uncharacteristically adorable preview before normal service resumes in Off the Shelf with the Western "One Eyed Jack's" from Arrow Academy, the Eastern "Harmonium" from Eureka/Masters of Cinema, and wherever the hell Bruno Dumont is in MUBI's "Slack Bay" - making it the Cinema Eclectica you know and love. Following our Question of the Week (about classic films you can't be bothered watching), it's time for our first ever re-release as Film of the Week - Mike Nichols' "The Graduate" which is now 50 years-old.

Joe Swanberg's Lens Cap After a snap election, Cinema Eclectica agrees not to do any more strained political puns after the introduction. Aside from that there’s some exciting news about future shows tucked away inside Ryan’s preview of "My Entire High School Sinking Into the Sea", and a typically varied Off the Shelf. Graham takes us to a school for the deaf in Alexander Mackendrick’s "Mandy", Aidan takes us to a school for the death – yes! – in Ovidio G. Assonitis’ "Madhouse", and Rob reviews Asghar Farhadi's Oscar-winning "The Salesman", about which few jokes can be made. After that the team gather to watch Woody Harrelson plays a volleyball on an island, (we think), in our Film of the Week - "Wilson", (look, I don’t do the research, I just write the previews).

A Very Merry Second Run Special We don't do podcasts like other children so the same was true of our Christmas special. We took the chance to use the last episode of 2015 to look at the recent release from Second Run with Loves of a Blonde, Larks on a String and the Party and the Guests. In the slot usually dedicated to the film of the week we looked at alternative Christmas films with Trading Places and Rare Exports, pretty normal, right? well, the other two weren't, we will leave them too as a little Christmas present from Cinema Eclectica to you. Until we see you all again in 2016, have a very merry.

Up your Gory Alley Confusion is in the air this week on Cinema Eclectica with the announcement of a Play-Doh movie and the existence of the Zombie Chicken sub-basement genre. We take a look at The Duke of Burgundy, Mark of the Devil and Day of Anger in Off the Shelf, and as a special treat, we dive into Book of the Dead: The Complete History of Zombie Cinema. Ryan takes a few minutes to talk about Fast & Furious 7 before we discuss the winner of that particular honour - Noah Baumbach's While We're Young.
