Welcome to our Summer special. We know what you are thinking dear listener, At The Flicks, late again. You might be right, or we might be early for Summer 2023, you decide, we couldn’t possibly comment. Don’t go looking at the films under review to work out if they are released 2022 or 2023. It’s not that type of review show. This is a classic movie review show. To be honest, we haven’t been that impressed with many of the movies released recently, so we set a challenge for the review team. Pick a highly acclaimed movie you have never seen, then we would all review it. The selection process made for some very interesting choices. Now, we aren’t going to tell you who picked what film, you will have to listen to the show to find that out, however we will tell you what films were selected, and they are as follows: The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari. The classic silent German film from when way back in 1921, when even our Graham was young. This film has received much renewed attention as a talking point in the

All these recommendations are far too much to get in over Halloween. In fact, it i

Welcome to the first of two Halloween specials from your At The Flicks team. In this first show we introduce to you, horror queen Kelly. Kelly certainly knows her horror movies and has a tremendous knowledge on the subject. To prove this, we set her a challenge. We asked Kelly, if you were creating a Halloween movie marathon, what movies would you include. I am very pleased to say, the challenge was accepted and the result is the show you are about to hear. The movie marathon consists of five classic films that never get old. We are not going to reveal the titles here, as that would be a spoiler (although the eagle eyed amongst you will see two of them in the trailer section below). However, this is not Kelly just giving us five titles. Oh no, there is much, much more here. Kelly tells us why she made the choices she has, why they are personal to her and some fun facts about each of the movies. Jeff tries to trade some of his stories, but quite frankly, this time he has met his match! And speaking

Back in episode 57 (that’s all the way back to 2019, remember that time, the happy, pre Covid days?), we spoke to regular film goer Dingle about going to the cinema during the 1940’s. In this episode we speak to another regular cinema goer, Tony, who tells us what life was like in British cinemas during the 1950’s. On this fascinating trip down memory lane, you will learn - How many cinemas Tony could choose from in his local town - All about double bills and newsreels - The unexpected impact of smoking in cinemas - How much it cost for a trip to the cinema - Tony’s favourite films of the period - Where you could go to watch foreign language movies in the 1950’s As an added bonus, Tony tells us about attending the cinema during World War II as a child, as well as a fascinating perspective on the American forces in his town just before D Day. A genuine trip down memory lane. We hope you find it as informative as we did. It was a real honour and a privilege to talk to Tony. See you next time or At The F
