At the Flicks

It’s one of those shows again! Phil and Jeff meet for a review face off. Regular listeners to the show will know by now that Phil and Jeff have very different tastes in films and constantly clash on these pop up reviews.  In fact we have been told it’s why some people listen to the show, to hear these two bicker! This one, true to form, will be brutal.  In fact, it is The Brutalist, that epic abou...

Welcome to a different At The Flicks. In this show Graham, Jeff and Phil give their predictions for the 2025 Academy Awards.  Hang on I hear you say, that event is now in the past.  Quite correct, and we held back on this so that you can laugh at their floundering or be amazed at how mystic they believe they were.   Don’t worry, we don’t cover every award.  The team talk about the top six awards –...

Welcome to the At The Flicks archive. This one is a real blast from the past!  Recently Graham was rummaging around in the At The Flicks vault and fell over some old recording cans that had been left on the floor.  Luckily Graham had been drinking that day, or he might have swerved passed them by and this show would still be sitting there! After swearing and moaning about his now sore leg, Graham...

Welcome to an exciting show for Graham.  Yes, it’s the latest from The Mel. Sadly, Mel Gibson is only behind the camera for this one, but that’s enough for Graham. For such a special event, Niall Browne from Movies In Focus joins to discuss the action thriller Flight Risk.  Now most reviews have put down this exciting movie.  Not here, here you will find a discussion which includes our thoughts on...

Welcome to an At The Flicks pop up review show. Listeners will know that the best way to annoy Jeff is to make him watch a subtitled film. And that’s exactly what we do here. While there were legitimate reasons for picking this feature, upsetting Jeff is always an added bonus. The film in question, Declan’s suggestion. Is director Hirokazu Koreeda’s follow up to Shoplifters called Monster. No, thi...

Well, At The Flicks episode 260 certainly made an impression with you guys. Our reflection on the cinemas that moulded Graham and Jeff generated much comment from listeners, and we hope to bring some of those stories to your attention in the future.  One listener who wanted to talk about his cinematic experiences was At The Flicks team member Declan. As a result we have devoted this whole show to...

Welcome to the second of our shows looking at key franchise films from the Summer of 2024.  This episode we go all dark, scaring Graham along the way, as we discuss Alien Romulus. The team of Graham, Jeff and Phil don their spacesuits and boldly go into foreboding places to talk in hushed tones about the latest Alien film. Amongst the aspects of the film they talk about: -         The original pla...

Welcome to the start of an At The Flicks double bill. Enough time has passed for us to look back sensibly (well as sensible as we can be) at the franchise films that revitalised their brand in the Summer season that was 2024.  This first one and subject of this show is Deadpool & Wolverine.  Here we will shock you, so be prepared.  It’s like listening to something from one of those alternative dim...

The last show in our series looking back at 2024. In this show long time contributor and friend of the Pod Phil discusses the state of cinema in 2024 and his three favourite films of the year. Long time listeners will know that Jeff and Phil have very different views on what makes a good film. This show is no different with both of them arguing about: - Civil War - Challengers - All of Us Stranger...

Welcome to one of the most personal At The Flicks podcasts. It was 50 years ago, on 10th January 1975 that I, Jeff, went to a vampire double bill in my home town of Pontypridd that changed my life.  Up to that point I had always had a fascination with cinema and TV (TV in the 60’s for a child was amazing, but that’s another story).  However after that visit I resolved to try to once a week and lea...

Welcome to the second At The Flicks year end show. For this edition Graham and Jeff are joined by Tessa Williams, a person far more knowledgeable on film than the two of them combined. Tessa is not only a prolific film watcher, she is also contributes to film selections for local festivals. Tessa reveals to us her favourite films of 2024 and talks about some of the upcoming movies for 2025 she is...

A very Happy New Year from At The Flicks. Another year over and we are leaving 2024 in style with a discussion about the films of the year 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 in 2024.  The beauty of this conversation is, Niall goes beyond the norm (in both his film watching and his ex...
