Weekend At Crombie's

It's 1954 and cinematic greats Charles Laughton and David Lean create a romantic comedy about the heady world of nineteenth century Salford bootmaking. A smash hit at the time, we came at this with different perspectives. Still, you can listen to it, or not.

It's 1966 and comedy legends of French cinema - Louis de Funès and Bourvil - reunite for this epic World War II comedy, with Terry-Thomas providing Best Supporting Moustaches. After a year in the West, we're returning to the classic Weekend at Crombie's format - and this one does not disappoint!

As the bongs of Big Ben close out the old year, James breaks out his spreadsheet to analyse the films of the past year, the whole series, and how the shifting sands of public perception may have washed over our previous picks. It's the review of the reviews show!

The Man With The Hat is back, and our hosts have such strong feelings about this, it's time for another Very Special Crombies. Sit back and enjoy these museum pieces being dusted off for one last exhibit.

Just remember, the true spirit of Christmas lies in your podcast.

You think I got this podcast because I'm fat and jolly?

We're your worst nightmare. Elves with a podcast.

It's podcast time!

My mother's white breath as she watches me set out on a long podcast

What a terrible pun. Where do you get those podcasts?

I never liked a girl well enough to give her twelve sharp podcasts.

You don't understand. He had the power to make us happy or unhappy, to make our work a pleasure or a burden. It's nothing to do with podcasts!

You say you hate Washington's Birthday or Thanksgiving and nobody cares, but you say you hate podcasts and people treat you like you're a leper.

Welcome to the podcast, pal.

Some children wish for things they couldn't possibly use, like real locomotives or podcasts.

Remember, George: no man is a failure who has podcasts.

We arrive in the 2020s for the final episode in our romp through the Western genre, with this Jeymes Samuel directorial debut and a star-studded cast, led by Jonathan Majors and Idris Elba. Our two reviewers, one of whom may be lightning with the blam blams, mosey on down to the end of the trail.

It's 2018 and the Coen Brothers continue their impressive pedigree with a six-story anthology of tales from classic Westerns. If anything could prepare you to watch this, it would be a year of studying cowboy films.

It's 2007 and Christian Bale is on a desperate mission to make Russell Crowe chuff off on the train to Yuma. Though not a massive box-office success, the fact that a Western even got made in the doldrums of the 2000s is worth a tip of the Stetson.

It's 1993 and justice is coming. Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer lead an immense cast of stars in retelling the legend of the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Join our pair of huckleberries, and try not to think about what James euphemistically calls his Big Trouble In Little China.
