The Post Boys Podcast

An Italian double feature this month. First off, we have Demons from 1985 from Lamberto Bava, son of Mario Bava. After that, for our main course, we have Nightmare City from 1980 from Umberto Lenzi. 

Today, we do another British classic, the 1963 comedy-drama Billy Liar, based on the book by Keith Waterhouse and directed by John Schlesinger.  Starring Tom Courtenay and Julie Christie, and with a great supporting cast of Rodney Bewes, Leonard Rossiter, Finlay Currie and Wilfred Pickles.  A pivotal movie of it's day, with Kitchen Sink realism and French New Wave style, we follow a day in the lif...

One up for the good guys, make it two down for the bad, and if there's one thing you don't do to a Protector, you don't make him mad. This bloody violent action thriller is just pure grindhouse sleeze. Known as another failed attempt for Chan to break into the American market, this film was a staple of the video shop rental market in the 80s. We feel this movie is an underappreciated relic of a by...

It's a long road, when you are on your own, and tired & needing something to eat. Probably a bath and a shave as well... The world was first introduced to David Morrell's character, John Rambo, in his novel First Blood back in 1972. It took a long 10 years to get Rambo on the big screen but the rest is now history. Rambo became a cultural phenomenon in the 80s with sequels, cartoon spin-offs a...

Grab a cafe latte, twist of lemon, sweet'n'low and a onion bagel with cream cheese and relax and enjoy a new podcast where we talk about a film that has grown over the years to cult status. 

Filmed in 1967 and released in January of 1968, "Here we go round the Mulberry Bush" is a British Sex Comedy by Clive Donner and starring Barry Evans. We follow Jamie in his quest to lose his virginity in swinging 60s London, but deep down he wants to lose his cherry with the love of his life Mary Gloucester. This movie is a trippy self aware comedy with great music by Traffic and The Spencer Davi...

This time we do a double feature - with the loose connection of a lighthouse and loads of fog. If you're looking for Pattinson then you'll be disappointed. :) Firstly, we discuss the 1972 British Horror Tower of Evil from 1972, in which a bunch of hippies go off to a remote Island for some hanky panky.  Main feature of our double bill is the John Carpenter classic The Fog from 1980. A classic ghos...

Ian and Gary get back together to talk about a Hammer movie that needs a little more love, about Rasputin, Russia's greatest love machine. Lee give's a somewhat loud energetic perfomance here in a movie that really looks great. Barbara Shelley is also in the cast, as well as a cameo from Joss "Diplomatic Immunity" Ackland.  As always, you get so much more, as we dive into illustrative poster art f...

The House Was Born Bad. This time Ian and Gary have a long conversation about the classic Robert Wise chiller 'The Haunting' from 1963. Based on the bestselling novel from Shirley Jackson's 'The Haunting of Hill House'. We go in depth for almost 2 hours with this one and then as usual go off in all directions and discuss a host of other topics. Starring Julie Harris, Claire Bloom, Russ Tamblyn, Ri...

In this current climate, we felt it was time for a rewatch of the much panned Costner box office mega bomb, The Postman. With the subject matter of a Militia Cult, The Holnists,  taking over what's left of America and bringing down the remnants of government and society while they're at it. Named after Nathan Holn, a violent, racist, sexist, populist leader, who could be compared to a certain poli...

For our third podcast, we are doing an oldie. A classic black and white atmospheric horror from Jacques Tourneur from 1957. Starring Dana Andrews, Peggy Cummins, Niall McGuiness, Liam Redmond, Reginald Beckwith, Maurice Denham and Percy Herbert. Join Gary and Ian for a long winded conversational podcast about this M.R. James adaption from his short story 'Casting the Ruins'. A British horror movie...
