It’s our 150th show, which you’d think would be a time for celebration but for Mick, Tim, Rob and Graham it’s a time for deep, deep shame as they exchange their guilty pleasure movies with each other (no, not that kind). This anniversary cavalcade of shame has Mick reassessing Kevin […]

Cinema Eclectica 149 – Frisking Bogie’s Butt
Graham and Aidan welcome a new reviewer to the show this week as Sarah comes on board to help us with our hella-tight analysis of Greta Gerwig’s “Lady Bird”. It’s an Oscar front-runner despite featuring no references to the Dunkirk evacuation whatsoever – but what did we think of it? […]
Cinema Eclectica 148 – Abbott and Costello in Space
Forever the rabble-rousers, that’s us. We’re so bad, we even rebel against ourselves every now and again. We’re such a smart podcast, yes we are, that this episode we say no thanks to our usual conventions and head for the shallow end where our feet touch the bottom and we […]
Cinema Eclectica 147 – Jack White’s War Theremin
Which David Lynch film should Tim, Aidan and Graham review this week? A voice from between the worlds calls out ‘Do “Fire Walk With Me”!’ – which is the sort-of prequel to Twin Peaks that received scathing reviews upon its release. Considering that only one of us is a big […]
Cinema Eclectica 146 – Ullo John Waters, Got a New Motor
The first rule of Gothic literature is that everyone has dark secrets and no-one can be trusted – as Rob, Mick and Graham find out when the local cinemas nix their plans for “Phantom Thread” to be Film of the Week. Worry not though, as Daniel Day-Lewis’ Whitby vacation is […]
Cinema Eclectica 145 – Tom Hiddleston’s Plasticine Nipples
It’s an educational show this week as Aidan, Tim and Graham learn about the darkest secret of Hammer Studios and the how the director of “Some Like It Hot” prolonged the legend of the Loch Ness Monster. Before all of that there’s Film of the Week – Aardman Animation’s latest […]
Cinema Eclectica 144 – Breaking your Heart (Pixar Style)
We open this week’s show with one of the most unexpected recommendation sections before throwing ourselves into Pixar’s newest film – “Coco”. We’re not crying as we type this, shut up, you are! *Sniff* Who put all that dust in here? After that eye-watering beginning we launch into Off the […]
Cinema Eclectica 143 – Putting Bosoms on the Back-Burner
It’s the first regular show of 2018 and Graham is already being judgemental about the films the that Ryan and Mick are looking forward to in our New Year’s Question of the Week. Can one of them get their own back by catching him out on film trivia in Off […]
Cinema Eclectica 142 – 2017 In Review
It’s time for our review of 2017, and with it comes the usual cliffhanging tension. What will Rob, Graham, Aidan and Ryan pick as their films of the year? What will be the most breathtakingly perverse top ten choices? Whose voice will give out first from seasonal flu? All of […]
Cinema Eclectica 141 – Merry Dick Maas Everybody!
The mince pies have been laid out, the tinsel has been put up, and the Christmas tree – well, let’s not talk about the Christmas tree. It’s Cinema Eclectica’s Christmas Special and we’ve got a festive trio of movies from around the world. From the Netherlands, Dick Maas gives us […]
