A rare straight acting role for Peter Sellers in 1960, Never Let Go starred Richard Todd as a man for whom life outside of uniform has never been easy, as he struggles to put food on the table and his problems multiply when his new car is stolen. The vehicle has been stolen to order by teen tearaway Adam Faith, who supplies local garage owner and all-round nasty piece of work Lionel Meadows (Sellers) with hot wheels which are subsequently re-plated and sold on. John Cummings (Todd) is determined to get his car back and in doing so risks his own life and that of his family. Sellers was rightly lauded for his portrayal of the sociopathic Meadows, although life off-screen was hardly harmonious for his wife and kids as he took the character home with him every evening after filming. Joining Tyler to discuss this important film is Scott Phipps, co-host of the Reel Britannia, Stinking Pause & Talking Pictures TV podcasts.

The Stinking Pause Podcast - bringing you classic movies since 2013...some good, some not so good. 2023 marked the 10th anniversary of the Stinking Pause podcast. To celebrate, we looked back at some of the movies already reviewed over the past 10 years and inviting fellow podcasters and friends to join us.

Trading Places (1983) Louis Winthorpe is a businessman who works for commodities brokerage firm of Duke and Duke owned by the brothers Mortimer and Randolph Duke. Now they bicker over the most trivial of matters and what they are bickering about is whether it's a person's environment or heredity that determines how well they will do in life. When Winthorpe bumps into Billy Ray Valentine, a street hustler and assumes he is trying to rob him, he has him arrested. Upon seeing how different the two men are, the brothers decide to make a wager as to what would happen if Winthorpe loses his job, his home and is shunned by everyone he knows and if Valentine was given Winthorpe's job. So they proceed to have Winthorpe arrested and to be placed in a compromising position in front of his girlfriend. So all he has to rely on is the hooker who was hired to ruin him. "Hey, bubbles, man! Say man, when I was growing up, if we wanted a jacuzzi, we had to fart in the tub."

The Stinking Pause Podcast - bringing you classic movies since 2013...some good, some not so good. 2023 marked the 10th anniversary of the Stinking Pause podcast. To celebrate, this year we are looking back at some of the movies already reviewed over the past 10 years and inviting fellow podcasters and friends to join us. This week, it's Anthony's turn to join Scott and Paul to look back at a movie that we first chatted about in 2013 Anthony is the host of Film Gold, Life And Life Only and Glass Onion: On John Lennon. An episode full of Grouch Marx lookalikes, thousands of used dollar bills, the neighbour from Home Improvement and fond memories from a great friend. The Taking Of Pelham 123 (1974) Four seemingly unrelated men board subway train Pelham 1:23 at successive stations. Mr. Blue, Mr. Green, Mr. Grey and Mr. Brown are heavily armed and overpower the motorman and novice conductor to take control of the train. Between stations they separate the front car from the remainder of the train, setting passengers in the back cars and the motorman free. The four demand $1 million ransom within exactly one hour for the remaining eighteen hostages, including the conductor. If their demands are not met in time or their directions are not followed precisely, they will begin to shoot hostages dead, one every minute the money is late. Wisecracking Lt. Zach Garber of the transit police ends up being the primary communicator between the hijackers and the authorities, which includes transit operations, his own police force, the NYPD, and the unpopular and currently flu ridden mayor who will make the ultimate decision of whether to pay the ransom. Unknown to Garber, what may be working on their side is the disparate nature of the four hijackers, including methodical and unbending Blue, trigger happy Grey, and also under the weather Green, who may pass out before the caper has concluded. What Garber does know is that there is a plain clothes NYPD officer among the eighteen hostages. What Garber has to try and figure out is how the four hijackers can possibly get away, as they are in a tunnel and have to remain with the train since it has a dead-man mechanism which requires a motorman at the controls at all times.

One of the films that ushered in the new century, Requiem For A Dream is a virtuoso powerhouse from director Darren Aronofsky, featuring a remarkable lead performance by Ellen Burstyn. Although primarily dealing with drug addiction, it hits all kinds of other points of social and emotional impact, such as the power of television, the pain of loss, the fragility of dreams and the human need for love and attention. For the first time on this podcast, Antony flies solo, expanding on the notes he made when appearing as a guest on one of Film Gold regular Scott Phipps's podcasts, The Stinking Pause. It goes without saying that there are spoilers here so I recommend taking the plunge and watching the film first. Although harrowing at times, it's also a film full of hope and can serve as an inspiration even as the main characters plunge into a hellish world of dependency and degradation. Redemption is always possible. Listen out for two clips of John Lennon and some music by the Rolling Stones We hope you enjoy the show!

The story of HMS Bounty and the mutiny that took place aboard it is a compelling narrative that has not surprisingly been the subject of many film adaptations and other creative endeavours. In this discussion from 2020 that originally went out on the Stinking Pause podcast, regular Film Gold collaborator Scott Phipps is joined by myself and Steven Byford for a long and expansive discussion of the 1962 film version of the story and its troubled production, as well as the other film versions and their relationship to the real-life events. A lot of the discussion, from my end at least, focuses on the enigmatic character that was Marlon Brando, who I describe as 'a fascinating mixture of deep and shallow'. His antics on the set had a detrimental effect on his career and his relationship with Hollywood, but there are some magic moments to be found in the film, many of them courtesy of arguably the most important actor in film history. If you're interested in a 2-part deep dive on Brando, please listen to episodes 11 & 12 of this podcast. We hope you enjoy the show! 'Film Gold' is on all the main podcast platforms.

Antony joins frequent collaborator Scott Phipps to take a deep dive (sans canoe) into a true 1970s classic, as part of ‘The Stinking Pause' 10th anniversary celebrations. The making of this film is almost as mind-blowing as the movie itself. Insurance, who needs it? Enjoy! The Cahulawassee River valley in Northern Georgia is one of the last natural pristine areas of the state, which will soon change with the imminent building of a dam on the river, which in turn will flood much of the surrounding land. As such, four Atlanta city dwellers, alpha male Lewis Medlock, Ed Gentry, Bobby Trippe, and Drew Ballinger, decide to take a multi-day canoe trip on the river, with only Lewis and Ed having experience in outdoor life. They know going in that the area is isolated. Their relatively peaceful trip takes a turn for the worse halfway through with river rapids and unwelcoming locals. The four need to battle their way out of the valley and are asked to do things they never thought possible within themselves… 'Film Gold' is on all the main podcast platforms.

The Stinking Pause Podcast - bringing you classic movies since 2013...some good, some not so good. 2023 marks the 10th anniversary of the Stinking Pause podcast. To celebrate, this year we are looking back at some of the movies already reviewed over the past 10 years. This week, Paul has selected a genuine classic from Billy Wilder, starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. Some Like It Hot (1959) Billy Wilder's zany cross-dressing comedy begins with a massacre – resembling the gangland St Valentine's Day killings of 1929 – and ends with one of the most celebrated last lines in cinema history. Written in cahoots with the director's new collaborator I.A.L. Diamond, Some Like It Hot ascends to inspired heights of silliness in-between, with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon both on career-best form as dragged-up musicians hiding out with Sugar Kane's girl band. Both the gangster story and the screwball antics hark back to Hollywood films of the 1930s, but Wilder's outrageous and subversive play with gender was truly boundary pushing and helped lead to a loosening of censorship after United Artists released the film without certification.

The Stinking Pause podcast – bringing you classic movie reviews since 2013 Scott is joined this week by Steven, his co-host over at the Reel Britannia podcast and Anthony, host of Film Gold, Glass Onion : On John Lennon, and Life and Life Only A Night To Remember (1958) The sinking of the Titanic is presented in a highly realistic fashion in this tense British drama. The disaster is portrayed largely from the perspective of the ocean liner's second officer, Charles Lightoller (Kenneth More). Despite numerous warnings about ice, the ship sails on, with Capt. Edward John Smith (Laurence Naismith) keeping it going at a steady clip. When the doomed vessel finally hits an iceberg, the crew and passengers discover that they lack enough lifeboats, and tragedy follows. "It was uncomfortable. We have dressed now in our best, and are prepared to go down like gentlemen."

This week, Cev from Film Guff, House of Hammer, and Here Lies Amicus, joins us to chat about one of his favourite movies of all time. Sweet Smell Of Success (1957) In the swift, cynical Sweet Smell of Success, directed by Alexander Mackendrick, Burt Lancaster stars as the vicious Broadway gossip columnist J. J. Hunsecker, and Tony Curtis as Sidney Falco, the unprincipled press agent Hunsecker ropes into smearing the up-and-coming jazz musician romancing his beloved sister. Featuring deliciously unsavory dialogue, in an acid, brilliantly structured script by Clifford Odets and Ernest Lehman, and noirish neon cityscapes from Oscar-winning cinematographer James Wong Howe, Sweet Smell of Success is a cracklingly cruel dispatch from the kill-or-be-killed wilds of 1950s Manhattan.

The Stinking Pause podcast - reviewing movies since 2013...some good...some not so good. A special episode this week as part of our 10th birthday celebrations in which Scott is joined by friend and fellow podcaster Anthony Rotunno to chat about one of their favourite movies in the form of a commentary. Jaws (1975) It's a hot summer on Amity Island, a small community whose main business is its beaches. When new Sheriff Martin Brody discovers the remains of a shark attack victim, his first inclination is to close the beaches to swimmers. This doesn't sit well with Mayor Larry Vaughn and several of the local businessmen. Brody backs down to his regret as that weekend a young boy is killed by the predator. The dead boy's mother puts out a bounty on the shark and Amity is soon swamped with amateur hunters and fisherman hoping to cash in on the reward. A local fisherman with much experience hunting sharks, Quint, offers to hunt down the creature for a hefty fee. Soon Quint, Brody and Matt Hooper from the Oceanographic Institute are at sea hunting the Great White shark. As Brody succinctly surmises after their first encounter with the creature, they're going to need a bigger boat. "Here lies the body of Mary Lee; died at the age of a hundred and three. For fifteen years she kept her virginity; not a bad record for this vicinity."

Hooker and Gondorff set about implementing an elaborate scheme, one so crafty that Lonnegan won't even know he's been swindled. As their big con unfolds, however, things don't go according to plan, requiring some last-minute improvisation by the undaunted duo. "Luther said I could learn something from you.

The Stinking Pause podcast – bringing you classic movie reviews since 2013 Scott is joined this week by Steven, his co-host over at the Reel Britannia podcast and Anthony, host of Film Gold, Glass Onion : On John Lennon, and Life and Life Only Ace In The Hole (1951) With flaws that outweigh his talent, reporter Chuck Tatum (Kirk Douglas) has bounced across the country from job to job. Winding up in New Mexico, Tatum gets work from the local newspaper, but finds that there's not much in the way of pressing news. However, when Tatum catches wind of a treasure hunter (Richard Benedict) trapped in a mineshaft, he turns the story into a media sensation. Soon Tatum is using unscrupulous tactics to draw out the situation, an approach that comes back to haunt him. "I've done a lot of lying in my time. I've lied to men who wear belts. I've lied to men who wear suspenders. But I'd never be so stupid as to lie to a man who wears both belt and suspenders."

The 1980s have often been derided musically. The truth is there was interesting stuff happening that we've conveniently forgotten. An interesting question is how the 80s treated musicians considered important in the 60s. How did they adapt with the technology and change in direction for songwriting? Once again, there are some who handled it better than others. Dylan started and finished the decade well, but.....what happened in between? For the purposes of this conversation, we're going to focus on Pete Townshend. Welcome to episode 162 of Love That Album podcast. At the start of the eighties, Townshend created a couple of great records, but still with the shadow of The Who behind him. By 1985, The Who had split, so he could create a record that could reflect where his interests lay without having to worry about whether it sounded right for the 80s version of The Who – a different sounding band to what they had previously been. It could be argued that the 80s treated him well – certainly his solo albums are subjectively more interesting than the two studio Who albums of that period. One thing Townshend followed on through his Who days was a love of telling long form stories. In 1985, he released White City: A Novel both in record and home video form. On this episode of Love That Album, I am joined by co host of Stinking Pause podcast Charlie Mahoney to talk about the music on the album, and whether the film Pete wrote and Richard Lowenstein directed was successful. In the mid eighties when the world was focused on apartheid South Africa, Townshend thought he'd use his story of a separated couple living in a council estate as a metaphor for for what was going on. Does it work? My gratitude to Charlie for being my first co host following a hiatus of a few months. He brought great conversation to the show, and hopefully, it won't be another 7 years before he returns.

The Aberfan Disaster 9:13am on October 21st 1966, Pantglas School in the small Welsh mining village of Aberfan Inside the school, more than 200 children and nine teachers were waiting for their first lesson of the day to begin when the air was filled with the sound of a distant rumble. A massive coal tip - a mountain of waste generated by the town's mines that employed 8000 people had collapsed and a landslide of mud and debris flooded into the classroom, burying the school and engufing everyone inside 116 children and 28 adults were killed It was one of the worst industrial disasters Britain has ever seen.

The Stinking Pause podcast – bringing you classic movie reviews since 2013 Hitchcock's finest moment according to certain polls. Scott, Paul, and Charlie are not so sure... Vertigo (1958) Hitchcock's romantic story of obsession, manipulation and fear. A detective is forced to retire after his fear of heights causes the death of a fellow officer and the girl he was hired to follow. He sees a double of the girl, causing him to transform her image onto the dead girl's body. This leads into a cycle of madness and lies. "It's wonderful how they've got it all taped now, John. They've got music for dipsomaniacs, and music for melancholiacs, and music for nymphomaniacs. I wonder what would happen if somebody got their files mixed up?"

1966: The Year We Won...And Lost The World Cup As we head rapidly towards the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar, you may be forgiven for thinking that this episode must surely recount the tale of how England won the world cup in the summer of 1966. You wouldn't be far off though as this episode of Rainbow Valley is the story of not how we won the World Cup that summer, but how we lost it. Three months before the World Cup finals were due to take place, the much coveted solid gold Jules Rimet trophy sat proudly on display in central London only to be stolen in what could only be described as a daylight robbery. Fast forward a week or so and the thief is apprehended but no sign of the most famous sporting trophy in world….until an incredible canine steps in to save the day.

The Big Freeze Boxing Day evening 1962 The Christmas Number One at the top of the hit parade was Return to Sender by Elvis Presley All around the country, families were settling down after a busy two days of eating, drinking and making merry. Small screen entertainment on the tv that evening included a hilarious variety show from the London Palladium featuring Bruce Forsyth and Norman Wisdom and the BBCs big Boxing Day movie was Moulin Rouge starring Jose Ferrer and Zsa Zsa Gabor And then, it began to snow. A day late and tantalisingly close to giving the country a proper White Christmas, but snow nevertheless. The temperature dropped…..and it continued to snow. And it snowed and snowed, and it got colder. And it snowed and it snowed some more And that was how it would be for the next one hundred days or so as Britain was plunged into an icy wilderness that would last until the following March. Industry ground to halt as businesses and schools were forced to close. There was widespread panic as ambulances and fire crews were unable to respond to emergencies. Essential supplies and medication failed to get through to hospitals and over half the natural wildlife population died in the freezing temperatures, unable to forage to food. Nothing could be done to stop the bitter temperatures and the relentless snowfall Ladies and gentlemen, Rainbow Valley is proud to present the story of The Big Freeze You can follow the podcast on Twitter @rv_podcast Join our Facebook group at Facebook/rainbowvalleypodcast Or send us your thoughts and feedback to rainbowvalleypod@gmail.com This has been a Stinking Pause production.

The Stinking Pause podcast – bringing you classic movie reviews since 2013 A brand new movie this week as we take a look at Steven Spielberg's remake of a classic sixties musical West Side Story (2021) Manhattan, Upper West Side, 1957. Against the backdrop of the decaying tenements in the San Juan Hill neighbourhood and the constant threat of the wrecking ball, two warring gangs--tough Riff's Jets and swaggering Bernardo's Puerto Rican Sharks--fight for supremacy. Now, with a once-and-for-all, winner-takes-all rumble on the cards, an unexpected whirlwind romance at the high-school dance between former Jet brawler Tony and Bernardo's delicate little sister María sets the stage for an all-out turf war. But what's a gang without its territory? Above all, when the future is uncertain, what's hope without love? “All my life, it's like I'm always just about to fall off the edge of the world's tallest building. I stopped falling the second I saw you."

The Stinking Pause podcast – bringing you classic movie reviews since 2013 Incredibly…it's our first James Bond 007 movie review in nearly ten years of the podcast., So we thought….let's review two – and there is something of a method in our madness here as we take a look at: Casino Royale (2006) and Quantum of Solace (2008) James Bond (Daniel Craig) goes on his first mission as a 00. Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen) is a banker to the world's terrorists. He is participating in a poker game at Montenegro, where he must win back his money, in order to stay safe amongst the terrorist market. The boss of MI6, known simply as "M" (Dame Judi Dench) sends Bond, along with Vesper Lynd (Eva Green) to attend this game and prevent Le Chiffre from winning. Bond, using help from Felix Leiter (Jeffrey Wright), Rene Mathis (Giancarlo Giannini), and having Vesper pose as his partner, enters the most important poker game in his already dangerous career. But if Bond defeats Le Chiffre, will he and Vesper Lynd remain safe? …and Is there solace in revenge? James Bond (Daniel Craig) and M (Dame Judi Dench) sniff a shadowy international network of power and corruption reaping billions. As Bond pursues the agents of an assassination attempt on M, all roads lead to Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric), a world-renowned developer of green technology. Greene, a nasty piece of work, is intent on securing a barren area of Bolivia in exchange for helping a strongman stage a coup there. The C.I.A. looks the other way, and only Bond, with help from a retired spy and a mysterious beauty, stands in Greene's way. M wonders if she can trust Bond, or if vengeance possesses him. Can anyone drawn to Bond live to tell the tale? “When someone says "We've got people everywhere", you expect it to be hyperbole! Lots of people say that. Florists use that expression. It doesn't mean that they've got somebody working for them inside the bloody room!

Reservoir Dogs (1992) A botched robbery indicates a police informant, and the pressure mounts in the aftermath at a warehouse.

The Stinking Pause podcast – bringing you classic movie reviews since 2013 This episode, recorded on the eve of the Euro 2020 (21?) final, finally sees the light of day as Scott, Paul and Charlie get together and chat about Bob Fosse, Roy Scheider and All That Jazz from 1979. Joe Gideon is a Broadway director, choreographer and filmmaker, he in the process of casting the chorus and staging the dance numbers for his latest Broadway show, starring his ex-wife Audrey Paris in what is largely a vanity project for her in playing a role several years younger than her real age, and editing a film he directed on the life of stand-up comic Davis Newman. Joe's professional and personal lives are intertwined, he a chronic philanderer, having slept with and had relationships with a series of dancers in his shows, Victoria Porter, who he hired for the current show despite she not being the best dancer, in the former category, and Kate Jagger, his current girlfriend, in the latter category. That philandering has led to relationship problems, with Audrey during their marriage, and potentially now with Kate who wants a committed relationship with Joe largely in not wanting the alternative of entering the dating world again. Joe also lives a hard and fast life, he chain smoking, drinking heavily, listening to hard driving classical music and popping uppers to keep going. In addition to pressures from investors and meeting film deadlines above and beyond his own self-induced hard life, he is teetering on the brink physically and emotionally. With Kate, Audrey, and his and Audrey's teenage daughter Michelle looking over him as best they can, Joe flirts with "Angelique" in the process, he potentially succumbing to her if he doesn't listen to them or what his body is telling him. “It's showtime, folks!"

A special episode this week where Scott is joined by his fellow co hosts of the Stinking Pause podcast, Paul and Charlie to chat about mobsters, Marbella, and monkeys with Beatles haircuts. Sexy Beast (2000) “Ex-villain Dove (Ray Winstone) has served his time behind bars, and is blissfully retired to a Spanish villa paradise with a wife he adores. But the idyll is shattered by the arrival of his nemesis Don Logan (Ben Kingsley), who is intent on persuading Gal to return to London for one last big job. Desperate not to sacrifice his enchanted existence, Dove is drawn into a shocking and explosive battle of wills with Logan, risking everything to protect the woman he loves.” “But quite frankly your attitude appalls me.

Brace yourself...it's time for a tale of platform boots, perverted uncles and pinball….teens, beans and Acid Queens. Ladies and gentlemen, the Stinking Pause podcast is proud to present some very mixed opinions on Ken Russell's vision of the classic rock opera, Tommy. Nora Walker is told that her British fighter-pilot husband is missing in action and presumed killed in World War II. On V.E. Day, Nora gives birth to their son and names him Tommy. When Tommy is an adolescent, Nora marries shifty camp-counsellor Frank; shortly thereafter, Tommy suffers an emotionally traumatic experience associated with his father and stepfather which, based on things told to him at that time, results in him becoming deaf, mute, and blind, and several people exploit this situation for their own pleasure. As Nora tries several things to bring Tommy out of his psychosomatic disabilities, he, now a young man, discovers pinball. Playing by intuition he becomes a pinball master, which makes him--and Nora and Frank by association--rich and famous. Nora literally shatters Tommy to his awakening, which ultimately leads to both the family's rise and downfall as people initially try to emulate Tommy's path then rebel against it. “I often wonder what he is feeling! Has he ever heard a word I've said? Look at him in the mirror dreaming! What is happening in his head?."

Stinking Pause – the movie review podcast with Scott, who this week is joined by Paul and Charlie to chat about turkey dinners, Van Morrison's amazing resemblance to Rick Flair and Neil Young's airbrushed coke booger. As lockdown restrictions ease, hopefully this will be our final episode recorded over Skype as, quite frankly, the sound quality is definitely not up to scratch with several drop outs along the way. For this we can only apologise, but rest assured, things sound a little better further in as we review Martin Scorcese's The Last Waltz from 1978. Apologies also to Ken Bruce and the legendary Popmaster quiz as we desperately try to recreate this national institution…with, shall we say, mixed results? Seventeen years after joining forces as the backing band for rockabilly cult hero Ronnie Hawkins, Canadian roots rockers The Band call it quits with a lavish farewell show at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom on Nov. 25, 1976. Filmed by Martin Scorsese, this documentary features standout performances by rock legends such as Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, Joni Mitchell and Muddy Waters, as well as interviews tracing the group's history and discussing road life. “He called me up, and I said, "Sure I'd like a job. What does it mean? What do I do?" And he said, "Well, son, you won't make much money, but you'll get more pussy than Frank Sinatra."

After an absence of over fifty episodes and nearly three years the restraining order has finally been lifted. Ladies and gentlemen…like a phoenix from the flames…yes he's back. Join us as we welcome Charlie back into the ample bosom of the Stinking Pause family. It's an old school Stinking Pause episode – the original theme tune, all the old jingles, the return of Jim from Swanscombe and Six Degrees of Separation. It's over two and a half hours long, but to be honest, there's only about ten minutes of decent chat worth listening to. First time listeners be warned….this is not the episode to begin your Stinking Pause journey. Our review this episode (and boy do we make you wait before we get anywhere near it) is Trainspotting (1996), directed by Danny Boyle and starring Ewan McGregor, Johnny Lee Miller, Ewan Bremner, Robert Carlyle, Kelly MacDonald and Kevin McKidd. ‘Danny Boyle's explosive film tracks the misadventures of young men in Edinburgh trying to find their way out of joblessness, aimless relationships and drug addiction. Some are successful, while others hopelessly are not.

However, someone is prowling the French Riviera, and as a spate of audacious diamond thefts is terrorising the Cannes, John will have no other choice but to spring back into action to clear his name. Indeed, John is caught between a rock and a hard place, and as if that weren't enough, the svelte and sophisticated nouveau-riche heiress, Frances Stevens, is on to him. But, who could be the real culprit? Above all, what will it take to catch a thief? “Not only did I enjoy that kiss last night, I was awed by its efficiency.” This and previous episodes can be found on; Apple Podcasts Podchaser Stitcher Spreaker Player FM Acast IHeartRadio Libsyn Podcast Party Follow us on Twitter @StinkingPause email: thestinkingpause@gmail.com Thanks for listening Scott and Paul

Finch agrees to defend a young black man who is accused of raping a white woman. Many of the townspeople try to get Atticus to pull out of the trial, but he decides to go ahead. How will the trial turn out - and will it effect any changes in racial attitudes in Maycomb? “... some men in this world are born to do our unpleasant jobs for us... your father is one of them.” This and previous episodes can be found on; Apple Podcasts Podchaser Stitcher Spreaker Player FM Acast IHeartRadio Libsyn Podcast Party Follow us on Twitter @StinkingPause email: thestinkingpause@gmail.com Thanks for listening Scott and Paul

Stinking Pause – the movie review podcast with Scott who this week is joined by Steven and Anthony In this episode, Steven from the Reel Britannia podcast and Anthony from the Glass Onion:On John Lennon podcast are with Scott in the Balaban Sound Studio talking about the 1962 version of Mutiny On The Bounty, starring Trevor Howard and Marlon Brando “You remarkable pig. You can thank whatever pig god you pray to that you haven't turned me into a murderer.” 1787. HMS Bounty, commanded by William Bligh, sets sail from Portsmouth. She is heading for Tahiti, on a mission to introduce breadfruit plants to Jamaica. It is Bligh's first command and it is soon apparent that he is happy to hand out severe punishments for the most minor infraction. The welfare of his men is also not of primary concern to him. All this not only puts him in conflict with the seamen but with his First Lieutenant, Fletcher Christian.

Determined to win her back, Ted boards a domestic flight from Los Angeles to Chicago, only to come face-to-face with a severe case of in-flight food poisoning that is threatening everyone's lives. Now, with most of the passengers and the entire cockpit crew down with the food-borne illness, Striker has no other choice but to confront his inner demons and take over the control of the ungovernable aircraft with the help of a gruff air-traffic controller and his former commander.

Stinking Pause – the movie review podcast with Scott who this week is joined by Paul and Liam to discuss Superman The Movie from 1978 starring Christopher Reeve Is it a bird…is it a plane? No it's three guys sitting round chatting about possibly the finest superhero movie ever made (That's Scott's opinion. No one elses.) “Do you know why the number two hundred is so vitally descriptive to both you and me? It's your weight and my I.Q.” Just before the destruction of the planet Krypton, scientist Jor-El sends his infant son Kal-El on a spaceship to Earth. Raised by kindly farmers Jonathan and Martha Kent, young Clark discovers the source of his superhuman powers and moves to Metropolis to fight evil. As Superman, he battles the villainous Lex Luthor, while, as novice reporter Clark Kent, he attempts to woo co-worker Lois Lane This and previous episodes can be found on; Apple Podcasts Stitcher Spreaker Player FM Acast IHeartRadio Libsyn Podcast Party Follow us on Twitter @StinkingPause email: thestinkingpause@gmail.com Thanks for listening Scott , Paul and Liam
