The Sound of The Picture House

With the 4k Reissue of T2 Mike and Kevin get naked and travel back in time to 1991. Fortunately no video of that exsists. Greatest action movie ever or a load of old guff. You decide. 

Showing in 35mm this month at The Atrium in East Grinstead. A real treat. DeNiro, Pacino, Kilmer, Natalie Portman. What's not to get to get thrilled about? LA is the star and Michael Mann knows how to shoot her. Mike and Kevin square up over the coffee shop table to discuss. 

Kevin and Mike travel back to 1992. Kevin seems uncertain about his age and we exchange shots about arguably one of the best films of all time and certainly one of the best westerns of all time, Unforgiven. So, please forgive us as we ramble and delve into this great film for your listening pleasure. Or something. 

Kevin and Mike delve into Clouzot's sweaty and tense 1953 classic The Wages of Fear. Frankly, I'm exhausted just thinking about it. Do drop us a line at podcast@picturehouseuckfield.com. We'd love to hear from you.

Like outlaws on the run we finally get caught and publish a new episode. Ridley Scott's massively entertaining road movie from 1991is the subject, so two old white blokes talk about a popular feminist movie. Not ideal, but bear with us, I think we do it justice. Let us know what you think podcast@picturehouseuckfield.com. 

Mike and Kevin delve into Kane, and take a look at 1941, so long ago even Kevin wasn't born, but we do talk about his dad's favourite film and the nightmare of British Quota. Do join in. Now also on Youtube. Proving we both have a good face for radio. 

Join us on the dark and dangerous streets  of East London during the reign of Victoria as we delve into David Lynch's classic The Elephant Man. This podcast was recorded while we had bags over our heads for added authenticity. 

Kevin and Mike give it the old waffle as we discuss our favourite films of 2025. Do they match yours? You will have to listen to find out. Hint: The Smurfs don't make an apperance. 

A treat for Christmas (yeah, I know it's technically Thanksgiving, but that's in the colonies.) Kevin and Mike share the joy and sadness of peak John Hughes and peak John Candy. It's not the destination it's the journey. 

Finally! Kevin and Mike take on Leone's "masterpiece" western and don't always see eye to eye. So narrow your eyes menacingly and make dubbed grunting noises as we travel back to 1968ish. This is a good one. Honest. 

It's Haloween! Kevin and Mike take a good look, through their fingers, at Richard Donner's rather excellent 1976 thriller, horror. Lots to discuss, not least the casting coup that is Hollywood legend Gregory Peck, severed heads and scary doggies. Take journey to the dark side. Please. 

Mike and Kevin dig into Raiders of the Lost Ark. Let's face it one of the greatest action adventure films of all time. Mike fanboys all over the place and Kevin does a terrible Mark Cousins impression. We also delve into 1981, and the fast approaching nadir of the UK cinema industry. Any other podcast means you are digging in the wrong place. 

Kevin and Mike join the Jaws at 50 celebrations and dive into the film that is possibly year zero for movies. They also take a good hard stare at 1975, one of the greatest years for cinema. Exept for British cinema, which was mostly rubbish. 

Restored in all of the K's, Kubrick's "coffee table book of a film" is as magisterial as ever and demands to be seen on the big screen. Kevin and Mike are back with some searing insights.*
As well as a peek at what's coming up in the new big screen season. 
*may not be true.  

A real big screen treat, Ridley Scott's box office flop turned mega cult hit Blade Runner. Mike and Kevin talk longevity, incept dates and all manner of nonesense. That and a dive into September 1982, when cinema in the UK was on its knees. What fun. 

This month it's a journey up the river to meet the big bald Col Walter E Kurtz and lop his head off basically. Of course this masterpiece is way more than that, so hop on board and Join Kevin and Mike for a discussion and a few laughs as we also delve in to the cinema landscape of 1979. The horror, the horror. 

Billy Wilder's follow up to Some Like it Hot was a double whammy of genius. Best picture Oscars and all the box office. It remains one of the great American films. Kevin and Mike explore the themes and talk other nonsense from 1960. That's the way it crumbles, podcast wise. 

Get on board your camels and take a trip into the desert as Mike and I bang on about one of the most spectacular films ever made. Davis Lean's masterful 1962 epic Lawrence of Arabia. Still selling out in Uckfield after all these years. Mad. Lots of other Epic chat too, with some soundtracks thrown in. 

Kevin and Mike talk all things film noir, even if Chinatown isn't really film noir. Discuss. The greatest screenplay ever written? You decide, because we can't.
