The Invasion of the Poddy Snatchers

Tv EN ↓ 30 episodes

Invasion of the Poddysnatchers is a deeply unprofessional film podcast made for the sheer joy of overthinking movies. We dig into camera angles, weird edits, messy classics, and the films that we remember from rainy Sunday afternoons. It’s sporadic, it’s scrappy and it’s mostly for us, but if you like nerdy tangents about aspect ratios and why ”Zardoz” exists, you might be in the right place.

Ep.5 - Scott Pilgrim vs the World 28.10.2023 25:39

All of our shows are secret shows. In a break from tradition, we watch a new(ish) film - Scott Pilgrim vs the World (2010). We love the film, and try to work out why it was a box office disaster.

Ep.4 - Chinatown 01.10.2023 29:04

Forget it, Jake. It’s Chinatown. In this episode, we watch the 1974 Neo-Noir, Chinatown. This is undoubtedly one of the powerhouse films of the 70's, with outstanding performances from Dunaway and Nicholson, but why do we feel so uncomfortable watching it?

Ep. 3 - Roman Holiday 16.09.2023 21:47

Rome! By all means Rome! Paddy gets misty-eyed over the classic 1953 William Wyler movie, "Roman Holiday", starring Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn. Is Niel as impressed?

Ep. 2 - Psycho 30.08.2023 28:33

A Boy’s Best Friend is his Mother We watch the 1960 Alfred Hitchcock movie, Psycho, starring Anthony Perkins and Janet Leigh. We chat and get into nerdy detail about why it's a classic and what makes it so effective.

Ep.1 - The Maltese Falcon 21.08.2023 25:12

The Stuff that Dreams are Made Of.... In this episode we watch the Maltese Falcon (1941) starring Humphrey Bogart and Mary Astor. We love classic film noir and have a chat about the origins of the style and about the stars of the film. *We were going to call this the Sunday Cinema Club, but there is already a pod called that, so we changed it. **In the pod,, we get the date of the Hays Code wrong...
