Join hosts Ryan Etherington and Simon Keet as they revisit the Ealing Studios classic The Ladykillers (1955) — a pitch-perfect slice of classic British cinema starring Alec Guinness and Katie Johnson. In this episode, the pair explore the film’s masterful blend of dark comedy, post-war British eccentricity, and subtle social satire.
From Guinness’s grotesque charm as criminal mastermind Professor Marcus to the unforgettable role of the seemingly fragile yet unshakable Mrs. Wilberforce, Ryan and Simon unpack why this 1950s black comedy remains so influential. Expect thoughtful insights, a few laughs, and a celebration of one of the greatest Ealing comedies ever made.
Perfect for fans of film history, British cult classics, and cinematic deep-dives, this episode is a must-listen.
