In the thirty-first episode of Season 7 (Fantastical Realities) Kyle is joined by fellow cinephile Derek Paranay and fellow podcaster Zax Protzmann to discuss the mixed bag of impressive special effects and a typical hero's journey narrative that makes up Matthew Robbins' look at dark ages magic, religion, and superstition in Dragonslayer (1981).

Tales From the Crypt is a 1972 British anthology horror film directed by Freddie Francis. The film, consisting of five segments adapted from EC comics, was produced by Amicus Productions, which made several horror anthology films throughout the 1970's. The film stars Joan Collins, Peter Cushing, and Ralph Richardson. The plot focuses on a group of 5 strangers who encounter the mysterious Crypt Keeper in the catacombs. He reveals to each of them the possible manner in which they might die, in the hopes that they might stray from their evil ways.

Recipe for a riotous sixties romp? Take two aging thespians, mix in a dozen dependable character actors, add three or four comic geniuses to bind it all together and season with a generous pinch of psychedelic Victoriana. Top it off with a rising young star and the director's wife and the result is a complex confection full of surprises which the whole family can enjoy! Joining Tyler this week is writer, podcaster and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington to talk about a film which he (rightly) argues is unfairly underappreciated: Bryan Forbes' 1966 ensemble comedy The Wrong Box. It qualifies for this podcast owing to a film-stealing turn by Peter Sellers as Doctor Pratt, but he is only one of many delights - it also features Peter Cook & Dudley Moore as a pair of hissable villains, Wilfrid Lawson as a butler on the verge of collapse, Michael Caine as the dashing, if naive, romantic lead, Tony Hancock as a rheumy-eyed troubled 'tec and Ralph Richardson as an increasingly erratic epistemophilic uncle! Also in 'blink-and-you'll-miss-'em' terms, Valentine Dyall, John Junkin, Leonard Rossiter and Graham Stark! (Graham Stark appears by kind permission of Mr Sellers). And, of course, the Lovely Nanette Newman as Miss Julia Finsbury. It's a fun, rambling conversation which, like the film itself, takes a lot of surprising turns!

In this Book Club edition of the podcast, we finally have a chance to explore the work of Friend of the Pod Henry James. We look at James's short novel Washington Square (1880) and long short story "The Turn of the Screw" (1898), and two of their adaptations, The Heiress (1949, directed by William Wyler) and The Innocents (1961, directed by Jack Clayton). We focus on the arcs of the heroines in the two works and the very different directions in which the adaptations take them, as well as the acting opportunities they present for Olivia de Havilland and Deborah Kerr. We also praise the performances of Ralph Richardson as Austin Sloper and Martin Stephens as Miles, two very tricky, eminently Jamesian roles. But is Henry James unadaptable? We give our verdict.

Malcolm McDowell has a knack for being in the right place at the right time. Growing up in Liverpool in the early ‘60s, he took his girlfriend to see The “Silver” Beatles at the Cavern Club. By the end of the decade, he was one of the beautiful people swingin' through London as the star of Lindsay Anderson's “If….” and "O Lucky Man." In 1971, he drew raves for his electric performance in Stanley Kubrick's “A Clockwork Orange.”Fifty years later, he feels like a "Lucky Man" all over again for landing in Canada on CBC's breakout comedy hit, “Son of a Critch.”McDowell loved shooting in Newfoundland and immediately bonded with his young British co-star, Benjamin Evan Ainsworth. He praises the scripts along with the book the series was spun off from: Mark Critch's memoir about growing up eccentric on Canada's East Coast.And what a life he has led in-between. Listen as McDowell tells story after story about the famous stage and film folk he has known, including three Sirs: Laurence Olivier, Ralph Richardson and John Guilgud. Other names dropped include Peter Sellers, Robert Altman, Robert Mitchum, Michael Caine and George Harrison. At 78, he's never been busier, having just finished shooting a movie with two actors he adores: Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin.He's got stories about them, too. This is a podcast you don't want to miss.
If this week's guest and I were to find ourselves in a post-apocalyptic dystopian wasteland in which only twenty or so people survived, and podcasts didn't exist anymore, we'd no doubt agree that our lives no longer had any purpose and head off to ask Nurse Marty Feldman for a couple of death certificates. On our way we'd be careful to avoid uxoricidal Shelter Man Harry Secombe, bewhiskered GPO Man Spike Milligan and barber-for-hire (& rubber fetishist) Roy Kinnear. Above all we'd make sure to KEEP MOVING! Yes, this episode Adam from RetroTube joins Tyler to talk about Richard Lester's big screen adaptation of Milligan and John Antrobus's acclaimed stage play, surreal Cold War satire The Bed Sitting Room (1969) featuring Milligan, Secombe, Kinnear and Feldman as well as Peter Cook & Dudley Moore, Ralph Richardson, Michael Hordern, Arthur Lowe, Rita Tushingham and Frank Thornton (as “The BBC”) The Third World War was the shortest war in history at 2 minutes 28 seconds in duration and left 40 million dead but almost everyone left in London is trying to put a brave face on it. Everyone, that is, apart from Lord Fortnum. He's convinced he's turning into a bed sitting room. What follows is a bewildering but often hilarious series of events, at times veering off towards some pretty bleak moments. Did Tyler enjoy it? Did Adam? Tune in to find out!

In the tenth episode of Season 5 (Dystopia Myopia) Kyle is joined by screenwriter David Gutierrez and streamer Daniel Lopez to discuss the absurdist apocalypse and the futile gesture of society moving forward in Richard Lester's bleak and surreal The Bed Sitting Room.

Sherlock Holmes started his career as a radio detective on October 20, 1930, and to mark the occasion we'll hear the brilliant sleuth in four old time radio mysteries. Basil Rathbone stars as Holmes (with Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson) in "The Strange Case of the Murder in Wax" (originally aired on Mutual on January 7, 1946). Then, Tom Conway steps in as Sherlock in Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Devil's Foot" (originally aired on ABC on January 13, 1947). John Stanley and Alfred Shirley are Holmes and Watson in the original mystery "The Case of the Bleeding Chandelier" (originally aired on Mutual on June 13, 1948). Finally, John Gielgud is Holmes and Ralph Richardson is Watson in "The Second Stain" (a BBC production broadcast on NBC on January 30, 1955).
Documentary filmmaker Jeremy Workman -- whose new documentary Lily Topples the World is now streaming on Discovery+ in the US and coming to Canada next Tuesday, September 14th -- is here to sing the praises of The Heiress, William Wyler's 1949 adaptation of Henry James' Washington Square starring Olivia de Havilland (in the role that won her a second Oscar), Montgomery Clift and Ralph Richardson. Your genial host Norm Wilner is on the edge of his seat.
[transcript below] Reissue episode of the week! Jack. In the Box. This was an early comedy romance episode I wrote specifically with A-R-T - American Radio Theater - in mind. This was recorded with A-R-T in Marge's dining room. I would like to point out that the title is not "jack-in-the-box" but Jack[period] in the box [period]. It's a subtle distinction, but it does make it mean something a bit different. I also want to point out right away that the whole Chinese suspicion subplot was meant to be silly and a clue to how disconnected from reality Mrs. McGruder is, not serious. Keep in mind this was written ten years ago and set in the 1940s. I have nothing but disgust for any frickinh racists who are currently, in real life, harassing people of Asian descent, particularly the elderly. The transcript is on the page here, and you will note that the first couple of "radio shows" heard in the background in this episode are in the main script, but after that, they got too complicated to write in between lines and I moved them to the end so they could be recorded "of a piece". The shows are clear parodies of The Shadow, I love a Mystery, and Flash Gordon. This also marks the first appearance of Tunis the Unstoppable, whom I later used in Bingo the Birthday Clown. I realized recently that I haven't yet included the full text of the opening sequence of 19 Nocturne Boulevard in any of my transcripts. My apologies, and it will follow. It originally started out much longer, but I whittled it down until it was just the right length.

Well, you better open it now - maybe this is how they plan to invade or do whatever it was the radio was saying about them.

TRUDY Um, Timmy isn't feeling well, so I really don't want to wake him. TIMMY [off, sickly sounding] Mommy? SUSAN [mollified] So that's it. [sigh] You better stay. TIMMY [off, coughing] SUSAN Kids. I love em, but I'm not sure I could keep em. You gonna be in to work tomorrow? TRUDY He's much better than he was. Just needs rest. SUSAN OK. But next time - you could at least call! See ya manyana!

TRUDY First sick. Hmm. Well, that's a toughee. Humans, like machines, have lots of parts that all work together - and when one of the parts doesn't work right - like instead of breathing, you start coughing - that's what it means to be sick. JACK Repair seems the obvious answer. Explain. TRUDY Well, see you might be repairable - like if you broke a spring or something, you could just go in, take out the spring and put in a new one, but it doesn't work that way for living things - If one of our parts starts to break, it has to fix itself. JACK Processing. Corollary - Timmy is sick. Which part is broken? TRUDY [ashamed] Well, he's not really sick. That was a lie. My friend Susan keeps trying to fix me up with guys, and I -- well, I really just forgot, we were so caught up with having you working and all. JACK Explain. What is lie. TRUDY [rueful] Oh, boy...

I've seen him through the window. What kind of a place do you think I'm running here? And you with a child in the house! TRUDY Oh, but he's-- JACK [slightly off, sounding less robotic] Trudy? Is there a problem? TRUDY [thinking fast] Mrs. MacGruder, this is Jack Boscome. He's a-- a [moving closer, whispering] He's a vet. Battle fatigued. Our office sent a memo around, asking for people willing to open their homes to these boys. How could I say no? MACGRUDER [much softened] But it's-- TRUDY He stays in the living room. On the couch. He's really good with Timmy. TIMMY [off] Jack? Hey, ask me that question again. On my homework. TRUDY See? JACK [off] What is the capitol of Idaho? MACGRUDER [resigned] You should have told me. TRUDY I wanted to wait and see if it was going to work out first. I didn't want anyone to make a fuss right away - he's still pretty nervous, you know?

Did you really think all this stuff on the radio was true? JACK Why would it not be true? Explain. TIMMY It's ... fun. Like make believe. Everyone makes stuff up - you mean you don't have stories where you come from? JACK I don't know where I come from. My memories begin when you assembled me.

JACK Explain? CHUTNEY I've seen a number of cases - of course, we called it shell shock - but it's all the same thing. If you ever need to talk to anyone, and don't want to disturb the ladies. I'm just across the court. JACK [more and more lost and confused] Talk? CHUTNEY About your experiences in the war. Battle fatigue is nothing to sneeze at-- JACK Oh! Yes. Yes, sir. CHUTNEY [chuckles, then insinuating] What sort of action did you see? JACK Sir? Do you listen to the radio, sir? CHUTNEY Oh, you can't trust the radio for intelligence. Everything on it is either so covert no one would recognize it or outright fiction. Were you with infantry? JACK [almost panicking, getting more robotic] Sir? I cannot answer that. CHUTNEY You can't shock me, son. JACK [error noise, very bad] uh, uh, uh, I was slugged, and tortured. Tied up while the water came in. Flooded with gas. [drawing from a radio episode from earlier] CHUTNEY [shocked] P-O-W? I am so sorry, my boy. No wonder. I won't ask you any more. Just know that I'm always ready to listen. SCENE 21. MUSIC SPACE AMBIANCE SPACE SHIP MOCKAM What shall we do with this unit? POCKAM X-14? The only logical choice is to vaporize it. Its memory cells are congested with data from this planet.

And you look so real. I-- It's nice having a man around the house, you know. Timmy loves you, and the way you fixed the furnace! JACK Machines make sense. Humans are confusing. TRUDY Don't I know it! I- I confuse myself sometimes. JACK Explain? TRUDY I can't. Some things are just inexplicable. Like ... love. JACK Explain? TRUDY I- well... Love is a lot like "like". Just stronger. JACK A feeling of attachment and a desire to be near the object of the feeling? TRUDY More or less. JACK As an example, you love Timmy? TRUDY Yes! JACK And Timmy loves-- Jake, Mack and Frenchy. TRUDY [chuckling] Yes. JACK Do you think love can be learned? TRUDY I-- Well, I really don't know. JACK If this is a topic you do not wish to discuss, we can talk about radio shows.

Let it continue. JACK This unit has assimilated enough to remain out of the hands of government entities, and to blend into society on the planet below. MOCKAM True. JACK Continued data gathering is always of use. MOCKAM One unit is not enough to gather all the data we would need for a full scale attack - not in our projected time frame.

Welcome To The Party Pal: The Mind-Bending Film & Television Podcast You Didn't Know You Needed!
This episode of Welcome To The Party Pal thoroughly explores the 1975 science fiction sports film Rollerball, directed and produced by Norman Jewison. Rollerball stars James Caan, John Houseman, Maud Adams, John Beck, Moses Gunn and Ralph Richardson. The screenplay was written by William Harrison, and adapted from his own short story entitled "Roller Ball Murder.” The captivating and poignant film takes place in a corporate-controlled future where an ultra-violent sport known as Rollerball occupies the world's attention, and its most powerful athlete is out to defy those who want him out of the game. In this episode, hosts Michael Shields and Christian Niedan meticulously examine the thought-provoking themes present in Rollerball, such as the biting commentary it makes concerning corporations and their expanding power and influence, the ills of blood sports, and the power of knowledge in regards to who controls that information. They also celebrate the committed stuntmen that were the foundation of the film, the brilliance of the films director Norman Jewison, and so much more!

His remarkably varied output included award-winning adaptations of plays by Anton Chekhov, Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams, and Eugene O’Neill, whose Long Day’s Journey into Night featured Katharine Hepburn and Ralph Richardson in their most devastating performances. Renowned as an “actor’s director,” Lumet attracted an unmatched roster of stars, among them: Henry Fonda, Sophia Loren, Marlon Brando, Anna Magnani, Sean Connery, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Newman, Al Pacino, Ethan Hawke, and Philip-Seymour Hoffman, accruing eighteen Oscar nods for his actors along the way.

With headlines and history being made in Minneapolis, police officer Derek Chauvin is on trial for the murder of citizen George Floyd. So is the American legal system--and America itself. Do we believe in JUSTICE or JUST US? Is an African American man (Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, Eric Garner, Elijah McClain), woman (Sandra Bland, Eleanor Bumpers), or child (Michael Brown, Tamir Rice) safe at the hands of police and legal systems nationwide? That's the question. This week on the show: the filmmakers of "American Trial: The Eric Garner Story" — Roee Messinger, director; Ralph Richardson, co-executive producer —and Esaw Snipes, the widow of Eric Garner. http://bit.ly/ja-garner #law #lawandorder #lawenforcement #veterans #legal #politics #society #defundthepolice #BLM #blmmovement #humanrights #civilrights #votingrights #BlackHistory #BlackLivesMatter #EricGarner #ElijahMcClain #TamirRice

Sherlock Holmes was one of my gateways into the classics. Years ago, like mid 1990s, I bought a set of cassette tapes of Sherlock Holmes radio dramas, which featured John Gielgud as Sherlock Holmes, and Ralph Richardson as Dr. Watson. Between that and the VHS boxed set I bought at a truck stop of old movies with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, I was hooked. When my son was born, we named him Basil after Basil Rathbone (because we couldn’t name him Sherlock – that’s ridiculous, right?) When he was a baby, and I would be up at night walking with him, I would read Sherlock Holmes stories to him. When I perform any of the Sherlock Holmes stories, I try to bring the essence of Basil Rathbone to Sherlock Holmes, and Ralph Richardson to Dr. Watson. I say Lestrade with a long “a”, because that is how he was first introduced to me when I listened to John Gielgud and Ralph Richardson. I hope you like it. And now, The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton, by Arthur Conan Doyle. Tap here to go to www.classictalesaudiobooks.com and become a financial supporter!
Alexandre, Fred e Marcelo Rennó prestam uma singela homenagem à última grande atriz do cinema clássico, Olivia De Havilland (falecida em julho de 2020) e ao filme de William Wyler chamado “Tarde Demais” (The Heiress, 1949). A produção da Paramount nasceu quando a atriz viu em Nova York a peça de teatro homônima e em seguida instruiu seu agente a procurar Wyler para direção. O resultado foi um excelente filme que concorreu a diversos Oscars e que premiou De Havilland pela segunda vez em sua carreira como melhor atriz. No elenco, ainda estão um jovem Montgomery Clift, o inglês Ralph Richardson e a veterana Mirian Hopkins. ---------------------- Acesse nosso site: http://www.filmesclassicos.com.br Acesse nosso grupo: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1475312462775785/ Nos procure no seu aplicativo de podcast do celular, no Spotify, YouTube, Anchor ou iTunes.

Prelude - Are you one of those people baffled by what’s going on with the #Black Lives Matter movement? Do you genuinely want to understand but are worried about offending someone by saying the wrong thing? Do you have questions but you're afraid that they may seem callous or logical? Do you want to learn how to be an Ally to the Black community?If you've answered yes to any of these, then welcome to 'The WHITE SPEAK Podcast.' A frank but candid series answering all of the burning questions people have about the Black Lives Matter movement—why it’s happening and what led us to where we are today. Too often white people are uncomfortable with conversations regarding race. They also have problems understanding important issues surrounding Black people and the Black community. Like how we got to where we are right now with the protests and some of the upheaval. WHITE SPEAK seeks to help explain, articulate and translate the issues through interviews with high-profile guests and conversations with some of the community's leading thinkers and influencers. Building on her experience as a storyteller in an inter-racial marriage with 2 bi-racial children, Emmy-Award winning director, Cayman Grant, along with her co-host Ralph Richardson, Executive Producer of the recent Eric Garner Film, American Trial, 'White Speak' will translate for the non-Black community what’s happening right now and why. It will cover all areas of topics including the larger movement for racial equality in the U.S, America's systematic racism, sports, culture, the news of the week and maybe occasionally the upcoming 2020 election. This is not a political podcast. It’s a resource podcast to give you the tools of understanding to be a great ally in today’s race for equality in America-- answering all of the obvious and not-so-obvious questions. You don't want to miss it!!!White Speak is hosted by Emmy Award winning filmmaker Cayman Grant and award winning filmmaker Ralph Richardson, Executive Producer of the recent Eric Garner film, "American Trial."Get a free audible book download at http://www.audibletrial.com/whitespeak

This week we’re hopping back in time to the days of the pink bunkadoo, thieving from the Supreme Being, and cursing child actors, all while talking Terry Gilliam’s 1981 fantasy adventure ‘Time Bandits’ at the request of a patron. Time Bandits is a 1981 British fantasy adventure film co-written, produced, and directed by Terry Gilliam and starring Sean Connery, John Cleese, Shelley Duvall, Ralph Richardson, Katherine Helmond, Ian Holm, Michael Palin, Peter Vaughan, and David Warner.Gilliam has referred to Time Bandits as the first in his "Trilogy of Imagination", followed by Brazil (1985) and ending with The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988). All are about the "craziness of our awkwardly ordered society and the desire to escape it through whatever means possible." All three films focus on these struggles and attempts to escape them through imagination: Time Bandits through the eyes of a child, Brazil through the eyes of a man in his thirties, and Munchausen through the eyes of an elderly man.

Ralph Richardson has dementia and Parkinson's disease.
Roee Messinger’s new film “American Trial: The Eric Garner Story” is an unscripted courtroom drama imagining the trial that never happened involving Daniel Pantaleo, an NYPD officer videotaped administering a fatal chokehold on Staten Island resident Eric Garner in 2014. The video, in which Garner repeatedly called out “I can’t breathe!” has become a rallying cry against police brutality and the murder of unarmed black people at the hands of law enforcement. In this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI, Eric Garner’s widow Esaw Snipes-Garner, who appears in the film, joins director Roee Messinger and executive producer Ralph Richardson for a conversation about "American Trial" and the horrific events that inspired it.
Based on elements within Edgar Rice Burroughs's 1912 novel, "Tarzan of the Apes," Greystoke begins in the late 19th century, where a young couple born into Scottish nobility, Jack Clayton and his pregnant wife Alice, find themselves shipwrecked off the coast of Western Africa. Months later, they give birth to a boy who quickly becomes an orphan when his mother dies of malaria, and his father is killed in an altercation with nearby apes. One of the apes adopts the human baby as her own. When the boy grows into a man, he takes on the alpha male to become the leader of the tribe. Meanwhile, an expedition arrives nearby for specimens for the British Musem. The expedition gets viciously attacked by a native village. Surviving the slaughter is a Belgian named Phillippe d'Arnot, whose life is saved and wounds tended by the mysterious ape-man. Phillippe realizes his savior is the son of the married couple, the Claytons, who built the abandoned cabin in the vicinity. Dubbing the jungle man "John Clayton', d'Arnot teaches him to speak, move, and behave like an aristocrat from civilized society before taking him to his ancestral estate in Scotland to reunite with his grandfather, the Earl of Greystoke. There, John develops feelings for grandfather's ward, an American-raised woman named Jane Parker. Christopher Lambert, Ralph Richardson, Ian Holm, Andie MacDowell, James Fox star. Hugh Hudson directs.

Welcome To The Party Pal: The Mind-Bending Film & Television Podcast You Didn't Know You Needed!
Ian Mckellen is a legend of stage and cinema. He has incredibly starred in over four hundred plays and films and he is that rare character actor that awes in each and every performance. McKellen is a celebrity of such distinguished political and social service that it has transcended his international fame to reach beyond the stage and screen. The breadth of his career — professional, personal and political — has been truly staggering. Sci-fi and fantasy fans know him as Gandalf from the Lord of The Rings and Magneto from the Marvel X-Men series of films. Theater lovers know of McKellen’s roles as Macbeth, King Lear, and Estragon in the truly fantastic Waiting For Godot. From his West End acting debut in 1964 in James Saunders’s A Scent of Flowers, to the day he took Broadway by storm when he played Antonio Salieri in Peter Shaffer’s Tony-Award-winning play Amadeus, to his many turns on screen, McKellen is an international treasure and icon, and it is because of this that Welcome To The Party Pal pays tribute to such an acclaimed talent.To celebrate Ian McKellen properly, one of your Welcome To The Party Pal hosts, Michael Shields, sits down with author Garry O’Connor, who recently penned Ian McKellen: A Biography. Garry O’ Connor is a biographer and novelist, noted for his publications on theatrical and literary figures. He has written well-praised biographies of Laurence Olivier, Ralph Richardson, Paul Scofield, Peggy Ashcroft, and Alec Guinness. His book probes the heart of Ian McKellen, recreating his greatest stage roles and exploring his personal life.

"The only person that knew (about her affair with with Laurence Olivier) was my Mother, as she caught us together." - Sarah Miles Robert Emery talks to Sarah Miles, the English theatre and film actress who was nominated for four BAFTA's, two Golden Globes and an Oscar. Sarah talks about her biological connection with the British Royal family, finishing RADA and going straight into the West-End where Sir John Gielgud famously said "Did you know you have a bottom just like a boy? Two poached eggs in a handkerchief." Sarah was catapulted into the limelight at a young age, starring opposite some of the greats including Dirk Bogarde, Vanessa Redgrave, Laurence Olivier, Ralph Richardson, Margaret Rutherford & Robert Mitchum; she had two marriages to the same person - the screen writer Robert Bolt (winner of two Oscars, two BAFTA's, three Golden Globes and a Tony award) and an epiphany three years after filming Ryan's Daughter that changed her life forever. This sometimes intense conversation takes us up to 1973, just before she filmed 'The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing' opposite Burt Reynolds, where her life took a turn for the worse and tragedy struck. For reasons we don't need to go into, this part of Sarah's life story will feature in part two, released later in the year when I gain permission. Backstage with Robert Emery: Episode 4 - Sarah Miles
We’re wrapping up 2018 and spending the holidays with Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. The dynamic duo of Baker Street stars in three old time radio mysteries taking us from Christmas to New Year’s Eve. First, John Stanley and Alfred Shirley star in “The Adventure of the Christmas Bride” (originally aired on Mutual on December 21, 1947). Then, John Gielgud and Ralph Richardson play Holmes and Watson in an adaptation of the Arthur Conan Doyle Christmas story “The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle.” Finally, Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce ring in the new year in “The Iron Box” (originally aired on Mutual on December 31, 1945).
In Episode XXXVI the crew dives deeper into the 1943 submarine movie The Silver Fleet as we tackle our second movie of WW2 month. This classic was directed by Vernon Sewell & Gordon Wellesley and stars: Ralph Richardson, Esmond Knight, and Googie Withers. A Dutchman is put at odds with his countrymen when Nazi’s take over his shipyard and he begins making submarines for them. Things are not going smoothly as there is a saboteur in the shipyard named Piet Hein. Whilst operating in the shadows, Hein is able to organize several missions undermining the Nazis plans. Get ready for movie trivia, the Phantom Zone where Jamie connects submarine movies back to Ed Harris in Phantom, Subs Worldwide where Kyle discusses the German U-Boat XIV Class, and Brom counts down the best of Nazi foiling cinema in the 36th installment of Submersion.
We're celebrating the birthday of Arthur Conan Doyle with radio adaptations of three of his greatest Sherlock Holmes mysteries. In these productions from the BBC, John Gielgud stars as Holmes with Ralph Richardson as Dr. Watson. The game's afoot in "A Scandal in Bohemia," "The Red-Headed League," and "The Six Napoleons."

Randy Fox returns to the podcast and we resume our discussion of the science fiction films of the 1970's. It's been over a year since the two of us sat down for a long talk about the incredible SF movies made before STAR WARS warped the genre out of shape but it felt like it was just last week. One reason for that is our topic in this episode is an under sung classic that appeals to the more mature in the audience than to the under twenty set. As people who first encountered ROLLERBALL as kids we can attest that our younger selves enjoyed the action set-pieces but that many of the more adult concepts flew over our heads. But watching this film in middle age certainly brings home just how profound and thoughtful it is. The best science fiction often holds up a dark mirror to our lives and asks question about the human condition that resonate because of their timelessness. The bloody violence on display has much to say about who we are in the real 2018 as it does about the movie's fiction 21st century. Our discussion of the film touches on the career of director Norman Jewison and the script's fidelity to the source material. Credit has to go to Jewison for bringing in the original short story author William Harrison to craft the screenplay. We talk about the actors' performances with attention paid to lead James Caan's ability to convey the depths of a man without the words to express himself clearly. We dig into the future society of the movie and how it's structure resembles other literary dystopian visions from Brave New World, 1984 and Fahrenheit 451 while marveling at the detailed game system set up to make Rollerball a sport that feels realistic. Plus, any film with Ralph Richardson complaining that the planet's computer system has misplaced the whole history of the 13th century is worth seeing! Join us for this return to smart science fiction where ideas are presented in intelligent ways even as heads get busted and people are set on fire! Send any comments or suggestions to thebloodypit@gmail.com where we'll be happy to learn your thoughts on the SF films made before Star Wars. Thank you for downloading and listening.
The game is afoot with three old time radio mysteries starring the master detective of Baker Street, Sherlock Holmes. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s immortal character made his debut as a radio sleuth on October 20, 1932, and we’re celebrating his anniversary with radio adventures starring three different actors as Holmes. First, Basil Rathbone is Holmes, with Nigel Bruce as Watson, in “The Case of the Limping Ghost” (originally aired on Mutual on September 3, 1945). Next, John Stanley and Alfred Shirley are Holmes and Watson in “The Sussex Vampire” (originally aired on Mutual on December 14, 1947). Finally, John Gielgud and Ralph Richardson star in “The Final Problem” (originally aired on NBC on April 17, 1955), featuring special guest star Orson Welles as Professor Moriarty.

Not quite how we wanted to pick up the New Year with Toby's Who's Round podcasts, but in a tribute to the late, great Bernard Kay, here's the brand new second installment of Toby's conversation with the man himself:
However don't let the title fool you as we delve deep in to archives to bring you an exciting version of "A Christmas Carol," with Ralph Richardson as narrator and Scrooge. It's basically Sir Ralph and a few cast members given some lines and when you listen to mid sixties BBC drama you note the differences. Gone is the enhanced sound so they used the literature. Enjoy. We'll also start the show by remembering the amazing Christmas of the Trenches of 1914 and we conclude with another ghost story the Shepherd. On behalf of Maria and Sophie the Dog I'd like to wish you all the happiest of Christmasses and we'll conclude Season 7 next week with a drama of epic proportion. Enjoy
