Welcome to an At The Flicks short pod.  Back in October the prestigious Bath Film Festival took place.  Tessa, someone closely associated with the festival, joins us to talk through some of this year’s highlights. Included in those highlights were: - A surprise guest talking about his long career.  We’ll give you a clue, a couple of his films, including The Invisible Woman were shown over the 10 d...

At the Flicks · 109: Horror Sequels - Do we need them?

Velcome to the second part of our Dracula show. In part one we looked at the tortious route from book to screen.  Now we examine the films that resulted from all that work. . The English language Dracula starring Bela Lugosi. Here we talk about: - Lugosi’s performance. - The odd journey to the UK (and why it looks speeded up) - Dwight Frye’s performance as Renfield - The censorship cuts  - The dir...

The At The Flicks team proudly present for your Halloween entertainment, a show six years in the making.  In fact, it’s so big we have split the story over two podcasts. We are talking Dracula. Not just any story about Dracula, the story behind the famous Universal release in 1931. Here in part one we investigate what happened between the book’s publication in 1897 and the film going into producti...

Hello and welcome to our spooky season.  This year we have four shows for you. First up we have a short Carry On Streaming Halloween special.  Short because we have one major TV streaming recommendation for you.  It is It: Welcome To Derry.  Yes, Pennywise is back!  For the 8 part series we travel back in time to 1962 where Pennywise (once again played by the excellent Bill Skarsgard) is up to his...

Welcome into another of our series of cinema memories.  Up to now we have concentrated on contributors and guests based in the UK – which considering is where we broadcast from, is understandable.  However, for this episode we venture across the pond. Yes, Graham travels to America to interview American relative Nick, who has a very interesting story to tell. Hopefully Graham did not put this trip...

Our Autumn Carry On Streaming show has finally arrived, or you may know it as Fall if you live in America! Not just a show, more life counselling guidance.  Host Declan is back, giving you something to be entertained by as the nights draw in and the constant rain dampens everyone’s mood.  To make this selection, Dec spent his Summer wading through hours of TV to make sure we only recommend the ver...

And that’s a wrap – of the Summer. Which means the big blockbuster season, lasting seemingly for ever, is over for another year.  However, we couldn’t let this moment pass without having our say on some of the key movies of the hot months.  For this discussion we have unleashed Graham, Jeff and Phil to do the honours.  Phil of course watches just about everything with the other two rather in his w...

That fooled you!  Yes, yesterday’s show only covered Jo’s choices from 10 to 5.  Here is the second half, where Jo tells us her favourite musical films of all time. Enjoy, and remember to check out Jo’s excellent podcast Jo Durrant’s Beautiful Universe. Cheers

For this episode we are joined by Jo Durrant, creator of the amazing podcast Jo Durrant’s Beautiful Universe (and I am not just saying that because we are frequent guests on it).   Jo’s podcast deals mainly with all things science.  However, those of you that listen to Jo know also she is a keen musical watcher.  We thought it would be great to have Jo as a guest and talk about her favourite top t...

Throughout 2025 we have been bringing you shows where people share their memories of picture palaces.  We have a few more of these planned for the year, however for this show in that unofficial series we have something a little different for you. Lyn Williams is a life long film fan, and film music aficionado, who also happened to be, for many years, a cinema manager.  In this podcast Lyn shares w...

There is a saying that the At The Flicks management live by – it’s “better late than never”.  Actually, it’s more of a reality than a motto! Take this show.  We were lucky enough to get Tessa to join us to give us her views on the Academy Awards and her impressions of this year’s Glasgow Film Festival.  And then what happened – we took our time in releasing it! However, it might be late, but it’s...
