Turns out that podcast-makers get a Spotify Wrapped, too! This year we went out on our own, and it's been both a lot of fun and a success. Thanks to everyone who's listened and got in touch.

G'day! On a grim rainy day in London, our minds are far way in Western Australia, then Egypt, then Turkey, as we watch the magnificent Gallipoli. This episode was recorded last week in the brief Test Match window when the English felt charitable about Aussies... champ.ly/zTuwgmef

It's not just the plot of Biggles: Adventures in Time that's terrible. There's also the music.

A beloved British hero, a masked German, a super-weapon, and... a time-travelling 1980s New York executive? We're watching the ultimate crime against literature and cinema: the Biggles movie. With @wallaceme.bsky.social of Total Politics, who was scarred for life by this film.

Weekend War Movie Fun! We're watching The Battle of Algiers, a film that manages to be both passionate and neutral, showing both sides of an insurgency without sugar-coating either.

Terrorism! Torture! Oppression! Liberation! Defeat! Victory! This week we're watching the movie that has it all: The Battle of Algiers. Is it a training film for rebels or counter-insurgents? How does it manage to be, in the words of Roger Ebert, "both passionate and neutral"?

Oh Canada! This week we're chasing Nazis from the Atlantic to the Pacific as we watch Powell and Pressburger's Oscar-winning 49th Parallel. Will @DuncanWeldon.bsky.social crash the pod simply to annoy @RobertHutton.co.uk? Will @terrystiastny.bsky.social be able to make peace?
