Big festive thanks to @verbaldiorama.bsky.social for the recommendation of one of our favourite Christmas episodes covering Pstew starring Christmas Eve. The film might a cinematic lump of coal but we sure had a lot of fun talking about it.

I always love putting together our Christmas Special each year. The always in-person record with Matt+Paul often feels like where my Christmas starts, and this year it was lovely to have Eleanor with us too.

NEW EPISODE ALERT 🖖

Paul once told us that the acting role that comes to mind when they think of William Shatner is Captain Byers from Stanley Kramer's Judgment at Nuremberg, rather than Captain Kirk! Now we discover why!

Look out for the launch of this show exploring the films and legacy of writer/director Sam Peckinpah set to launch on the 28th of December. We can't wait to dive into his filmography with you. Also, we we would like to thank the incredible Stephen Trumble for his cover art!

I hadn’t seen Kingdom of Heaven since the cinema in 2005 so it was fascinating to go back and check out the much praised Director’s Cut all these years later but did it change my original middling opinion on the movie, listen now to find out!
NEW EPISODE ALERT 🖖

We’ve had a bunch of listener requests to cover the Director’s Cut of Ridley Scott’s Kingdom of Heaven over the years thanks to the involvement of Alexander Siddig and now it’s finally here as the Spocklight crew gather to reevaluate the film at all good podcasts places now!
