This week Mike, Rich and Steve are joined by the awesome TIMON SINGH, creator of The Bristol Bad Film Club, author of BORN TO BE BAD volume 1 and Volume 2 and, it would seem, professional game show contestant! We start the episode chatting to Timon about his books before getting him to assist us with reviewing this weeks films. We start off with MIDNIGHT IN THE SWITCHGRASS, yet another film to contain a dash of Bruce Willis, but actually starring Megan Fox, Emile Hirsch and Lukas Haas. Next up is THE GOD COMMITTEE. This is a medical drama starring Kelsey Grammer and is a film that we were not looking forward to sitting through...did it win us over? UNION BOUND is the latest "true story" from the American Civil War to reach the UK. Only myself and Rich managed to sit through this one.... A DEADLY LEGEND is an American Folk Horror movie regarding the uncovering of a stone circle...or is it? Our Short Shot this week is a fan film based on the a video game: CYBERPUNK 2077 - PHOENIX PROGRAMME has a lot going for it but with a 40 min running time have they over-egged the pudding? Click the link to watch the whole 40 min film! Having put Timon through his paces with the films so far, we really test his mettle with THE MADDENING in our DTV Throwback. Starring Burt Reynolds, Angie Dickinson and Mia Sara, this is a crazy psycho horror which has just popped up on Prime...

Although Bob Wall had no desire to become a film star, he somehow ended up appearing in some of the highest grossing martial arts films of all time. As Chuck Norris’ business partner and Bruce Lee’s training buddy and friend for over a decade, Bob – a world professional karate champion – found himself cast as one of the baddies in Lee's 1972 film, The Way of the Dragon. Bob provided a similar foil to Lee’s on-screen attacks the following year when he was cast as the treacherous villain, O’harra, in the 1973 martial arts classic, Enter the Dragon. In this candid interview, Bob Wall – now aged 78 and speaking to me from his home in California – recalls a young and charismatic Bruce Lee who ruffled feathers amongst the martial arts community and revolutionised the action film genre. Despite a few film appearances since Enter the Dragon (including Robert Clouse’s Game of Death and supporting roles in Chuck Norris films), Bob – who describes himself as a “foul-mouthed Irishman” – mostly retired from the movie business following Lee’s untimely death. But the Bob Wall story doesn’t end there. Listen as he recalls training with Gene LeBell, Mike Stone and Joe Lewis, and teaching superstars like Steve McQueen, Freddie Prinze and Elvis Presley. He is still active on the martial arts scene as the founder of World Black Belt, and through his many appearances at seminars around the world. For the latest Bob Wall information, head to bobwallworldblackbelt.com. Also on the show, I talk to the action film expert and writer Timon Singh, who drops by to talk about his new book, 'Born to Be Bad – Talking to the Greatest Villains in Action Cinema', which features interviews with some of the best big screen baddies, including Bob Wall. 'Born to Be Bad' is available now in hardback, paperback and on Kindle via Amazon.
After a rocky start (tech issues, not the Stallone film) We restart the chat with film fan and writer Timon Singh who hops onboard the podcast train to chat movies, villains and how he turned a 'what if' idea into a fully completed book that holds conversations with some of the most iconic 1980s screen villains ever. . . . .
Do you pretend to have seen Citizen Kane? Nod along when your friends are discussing the ins and outs of The Three Colours Trilogy without knowing what the hell they’re talking about? Avoided the Fast and Furious films like the plague because you fear it'll be as if Michael Bay has taken amphetamines? Due to personal preferences, everyone has blindspots when it comes to cultural touch-points and cinema is no different. When it comes to movies, hosts Timon Singh and Tara Judah are generally at opposite ends of the cinematic spectrum. One likes their films with depth, feeling and something important to say. The other is happy if there’s aliens, swords or a good car chase in there somewhere. On Cinema Blindspot, Ti and Tara will introduce to the other a film that they would not normally watch, has passed them by or have deliberately avoided and discuss whether or not they have been wrong all this time. In this introductory episode, the Ti and Tara discusses their cinematic differences, key blindspots in their film knowledge and their mutual love of Nicolas Cage. Tara Judah is a freelance film writer and radio critic, as well as co-director of Bristol's premier video shop 20th Century Flicks. Tara's writing on cinema can also be found at tarajudah.com. Ti Singh is a former contributor to Den of Geek and once bumped into Andy Serkis at the Albert Hall. He is a purveyor of B-movies and runs the Bristol Bad Film Club. Cinema Blindspot can be found on Facebook and on Twitter at @CinemaBlindspot. Find us individually on Twitter at @midnightmovies and @timonsingh
The Bristol Bad Film Club was co-founded by Timon Singh, a lifelong aficionado of terrible monster movies and junk cinema, who screens stinkers like Samurai Cop and Lifeforce. They do once-a-month screenings, with the major criterion being "there must be a bar present at the venue." They've rented out the city's planetarium and have done other unique screenings. On this podcast, we chat about Mathilda May, David Hasselhoff, Patrick Stewart, Caroline Munro, Electric Boogaloo: The Wild Untold Story of Cannon Films, Get Even, Pulgasari and Vigilante. Vigilante was directed by one of our faves (William Lustig of Maniac fame) and stars many of our faves from the b movie circuit: Robert Forster, Fred Williamson, Steve James and the one and only Joe Spinell.
