Today’s pick is a British black & white classic. Can you guess what it is?

Welcome to our Summer special. We know what you are thinking dear listener, At The Flicks, late again. You might be right, or we might be early for Summer 2023, you decide, we couldn’t possibly comment. Don’t go looking at the films under review to work out if they are released 2022 or 2023. It’s not that type of review show. This is a classic movie review show. To be honest, we haven’t been that...

Welcome to At The Flicks, where this episode there is no hiding from the darkest of TV “entertainments”. Yes, carry on streaming is back and our expert Dec returns to tell us what is worth watching for Halloween. But there’s more. Horror queen Kelly returns to add her thoughts on what is worth watching this season. Dec, Kelly and Jeff all with their separate takes on the ghoulish, no wonder Neil w...

Welcome to the first of two Halloween specials from your At The Flicks team. In this first show we introduce to you, horror queen Kelly. Kelly certainly knows her horror movies and has a tremendous knowledge on the subject. To prove this, we set her a challenge. We asked Kelly, if you were creating a Halloween movie marathon, what movies would you include. I am very pleased to say, the challenge w...

Our early Autumn Carry On Streaming show has finally arrived! Not just a show, host Declan makes this a public information spectacular, turning him into our version of Martin Lewis!  Apart from the usual subject of the streaming shows, telling you what’s best on offer, we also have another offer for you. Dec will tell you how to get the best value from the various streaming services around in the...

Back in episode 57 (that’s all the way back to 2019, remember that time, the happy, pre Covid days?), we spoke to regular film goer Dingle about going to the cinema during the 1940’s. In this episode we speak to another regular cinema goer, Tony, who tells us what life was like in British cinemas during the 1950’s. On this fascinating trip down memory lane, you will learn - How many cinemas Tony c...

Welcome to the latest show from the At The Flicks team. In this episode we speak to filmmakers Mark Brown and Laura Rees. Mark has directed and Laura has produced an upcoming thriller called Dead On The Vine, which was made on a vineyard during the Covid lockdown period.  We have held this show back for a long period. The reason for that is, we chatted  to the talented pair just after they complet...

The ramblings team of Elijah, Graham and Jeff are back for another random walk through the world of the movies. At least we start off on an agreed course, talking about the latest Thor movie with member of the Marvel Taliban Graham.  The discussion takes an early left turn when Jeff brings in Waterworld to highlight his concerns about Thor Love And Thunder.   We stay with superheroes to give our t...

It’s been a quiet Summer (at least in the cinema), which means we have taken our time in preparing this review show for you. The good news is, in the time we have taken in getting the show out, all of the films reviewed are now on streaming or available to rent on demand. (For some of the other Summer releases, please check out our new rambling series). With this extra time, did we pick titles tha...

The ramblings team of Elijah, Graham and Jeff are back for another random walk through the world of the movies. At least this time we try and start at a current point – we discuss the finale of the Jurassic films – Jurassic World : Dominion.  There is a lot of plot to try to tie up this six film series.  Does it work? What do the ramblers think? Check the show to find the answer.  We ramble so we...

The show that has been years in the planning has finally arrived. Mel superfan Graham has been dropping hints for a long time that we should be putting together a tribute to the great man. The balance has always been trying to be objective alongside Graham’s excessive and sometimes frightening fandom. Then the idea struck us. Rather than look back, let’s look forward. What if we take two of Mel’s...

Having now passed our 200th episode, we from the At The Flicks show would like to say a big thank you to our listeners all over the world.  It is thanks to you and your continued to support that we are constantly inspired to find new ways to inform and entertain you about the crazy world of the movies. This is why we take a slight pause with this episode to talk about some of our achievements from...

Welcome back to the continuing adventures of the At The Flicks team as they talk Star Trek movies. In episode 199 we discussed the disappointment that was Star Trek V. Thankfully, that didn’t put an end to the series and the original crew reunited one final time in 1991. We ask the question - was this a good send off for the pensionable crew? Guiding us through this discussion is our captain Darre...

Regular listeners will know that the main At The Flicks team are old (some older than others – not looking at you Graham). So, we don’t always keep as up to date with such things as reviews like other podcasts. We might be old, we might be slow, but we are always coming up with ideas . Therefore, as part of our OAP fightback, we are trying out a series of pod shorts, something to at least try to k...

Welcome to another Darren’s Dash, where we hand over the lead to reviewer Darren to give us his pick of the movies you may well have missed. And from this month there is a bonus, Darren will be providing a round up – a hyper dash if you like – of TV shows and streaming services of note. Included this month is Darren’s first excursion into Apple TV. What are his views and what does he recommend? Ch...

The team are back and what a surprise, some of the reviews are very contentious. Like the berserkers in The Northman, some members of the team really go to town attacking certain films, while other, more courageous reviewers defend them. Let’s identify the warriors (or film watchers as others call them). Jeff goes full hatchet, Phil uses a broadsword, Darren comes in with the sly attack, Neil join...

Welcome back after a warp factor break, to the continuing adventures of the At The Flicks team as they talk Star Trek movies. After the huge success of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (At The Flicks episode 169), someone decided it was time for William Shatner to direct the next films. As we are about to discover that was to prove a huge mistake for so many reasons. Guiding us through this productio...

Have you been wondering where Declan has been since our Christmas Carry On Streaming? Don’t worry, he has been in full viewing mode. A few days ago he emerged back into the sunshine to tell us he is ready to give us his recommendations for Easter. A British Easter of course – as it is a holiday when it always rains. So, if you are stuck inside with nothing to do, fear not, we have the perfect view...

Welcome to the latest show from the At The Flicks team. In this episode we speak to young filmmaker Archie Shiels. Archie is an up-and-coming talent who is currently honing his craft. He spent some time recently talking to us about his first documentary short feature The Blue Flash.

However, after months of arguing, the At The Flicks team are now ready to unveil their latest creation on the world. The 2022 year start show. This is our annual look back at 2021 and a sneak peak of what 2022 has in store film wise (unless Putin presses that big red button on...
