We span the wheel of directors and out popped William Friedkin, so this week we take a look at the ever-growing cult of 1977’s “Sorcerer” (a.k.a. Wages of Fear). We also discuss one location movies, Fellini’s final hurrah in “The Voice of the Moon”, Elio Petri’s never-ending quest for the […]

Cinema Eclectica 108 – Extreme Wolf Dentistry with the Shaw Brothers
This week’s show is all about action! After an explosive Question of the Week we move onto Off the Shelf featuring the anarcho-feminist bomb-heaving action of Second Run’s new release “My Twentieth Century”, the retro rubbery gore of Canadian indie horror “The Void”, and, erm, a very different kind of […]
Cinema Eclectica 107 – The Luis Buñuel Drinking Game
Cinema Eclectica 106 – Oh, Oh, Dean Israelite
We’re back with a new platform and some very old features including the long-awaited return of Director’s Lottery (this times it’s Otto Preminger’s “Anatomy of a Murder”), and a new set of B-sides. Join us as we dive into Viola Davis’ Oscar-winning performance in “Fences”, Janelle Monáe’s utterly winning character […]

Not so much a podcast, more an epic odyssey as we head into the wilderness. After traversing the outer reaches of Producer Rob’s comic collection we hail our slime-mould overlords in the bizarre documentary “The Creeping Garden”, before embarking on a Norwegian safari with “Troll Hunter” – with time left […]
Cinema Eclectica 104 – Four Minutes in Bollywood
Cinema Eclectica 103 – Footloose by the Sea
Keyframe 71 – The Proletariat Elbow
Cinema Eclectica 102 – Batsploitation
This week we’ve shrunk to a threesome and decide to offset the cream of the BAFTAs crop with some 1970s exploitation. First it’s the turn of Roger Corman and Vincent Price with “Tower of London” before we transition into a hundred super-colourful costume changes with Blaxploitation’s one and only “Willie […]
Cinema Eclectica 101 – Run Gunners and Misused Colons
After the party of episode 100 comes the hangover as Ryan, Tim, Aidan and Graham head to Room 101 for the worst cinema has to offer. From misbegotten video game adaptations (are there any other kind?), with “Hitman” and dubious documentaries with “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed”, to a trip to […]
