At the Flicks

It’s Summer and the At The Flicks team are avoiding the heat / rain by going as often to the cinema as they can! On one of these trips, the team watched the first Star Wars film for 7 years – The Mandalorian and Grogu. This spin off from the Disney+ TV series (ok the plot outline was originally designed for season 4), has plenty of action, horrific creatures and the lovable baby Yoda or as he is b...

Welcome to a special streaming show.  Of course, the usual streaming gang are all here, Declan, Graham and Jeff, however this time the content is a little bit different. Dec has his special recommendations, we wouldn’t change that and  we would urge you to catch up with them.  Shows like Small Prophets and Lord Of The Flies – a diverse pair, well produced by The BBC and a couple of gems from Apple...

In our previous show we interviewed director Sam Pope about his latest documentary The Little Cinema In Gloucester. For this edition of the podcast Jeff and Graham bring in At The Flicks regular Declan to review the short film.  As well as discussing this charming documentary, Declan also discusses the importance of independent cinema. Not much more to say other than please check out our review. S...

At The Flicks loves cinema.  We are not just talking films here, our passion extends to the buildings (cathedrals to us), they are screened in. Last year we explored that passion in detail when contributors and friends of At The Flicks told their stories of the cinemas they remember with fondness.  If you haven’t heard those episodes, please go back and check them out, you will not be disappointed...

Please take a seat at our table. We trust you are hungry for both food and films because for this show both are on the menu. It’s a combination worthy of its own special Michelin star, a feast for the eyes. Yet have you ever wondered if it looks too easy on screen to be part of a kitchen preparing high quality food? It’s been a topic of conversation at At The Flicks for quite some time. So, for th...

Just before Hollywood rolls up the red carpet for another year, the At The Flicks team steal it away for their review of the awards show. It’s like a Danny Ocean moment without any of the glamour, although Jeff and Graham are around the same age as the stars of those movies (if wider and shorter). But like all great heist movies, they bring in a reluctant member of the team. Yes, it’s Phil, brough...

And so to our final show looking back at the best of 2025 (at least in our opinion). Yes, for this At The Flicks show, Graham and Jeff go head to head to reveal to you their favourite top five films of last year (at least we released it before the Oscars, although there is no chance of any of Jeff’s picks ever getting nominated for Best Film – they are all in English). Once again, no trailers or c...

We return with another of our roundups of last year.  For this episode we have a very entertaining discussion about the films of 2025 with Niall Browne, the creator of Movies In Focus.  Yes, Graham and Jeff are chatting with the man on the film pulse to find out what was worth seeing last year.  The beauty of this conversation is, Niall goes beyond the norm (in both his film watching and his excel...

Continuing our review of 2025, we talk to Phil The Bear about his film choices of the year. I guess you are not too surprised to hear that Jeff and Phil got into something of a heated discussion about some of Phil’s choices. Regular listeners will probably guess which film makers cause this upset between the two contributors. However, what may surprise you is that there is one film in Phil’s top f...

Compliments of the season to you from the At The Flicks crew. If you are like us, then you will be watching at least one James Bond film this Christmas.  Goldfinger, You Only Live Twice and Live And Let Die are choices very popular with this team.  All classics. However, with James Bond somewhat cold at present and Amazon seemingly muddling through with the franchise, we have to ask the question –...
