Who do you think you are kidding, Mr Hitler? We're off to Walmington-on-Sea with stupid boy @mattchorley.bsky.social to watch Dad's Army, and learn about Arnold Ridley's bayonet wound and the "trousers" clause in Arthur Lowe's contract. champ.ly/yZBp05Wb

Don't Panic! Don't Panic! This week, we're watching Dad's Army - The Movie (very much the 1971 version), with International Man of Comedy @mattchorley.bsky.social.

Commandos! Courage! Kayaks! We're watching The Cockleshell Heroes, the movie that explains Britain's post-war film industry.

Under Siege was written by JF Lawton, whose previous film was, somehow, Pretty Woman. And, hear us out, you can argue that Under Siege is basically "Pretty Woman, but for teenage boys". champ.ly/g_eoTTwf

NEW EPISODE: In which Joe Twyman explains that Under Siege contains eveything that a 14-year-old boy wanted from a film in 1992.

NEW EPISODE: Terrible acting, ridiculous premise, appalling star, and yet somehow Under Siege is just a belter of a film.

You want answers? This week, we're watching A Few Good Men, and asking the big questions: did Lieutenant Kendrick's podcasting career get him the job of Secretary of War, and is Col Jessup now a White House adviser, or a Fox News talking head?

You can't HANDLE the podcast! This week, Hadley Freeman joins us to watch A Few Good Men and talk about why Rob Reiner was a director who got the best out of everyone.

Laurence Olivier! Gregory Peck! Baby Hitler! We're joined by Fuhrer-DNA Expert @hackblackburn.bsky.social to watch "The Boys From Brazil" - the ONLY podcast to discuss both James Mason's contract terms and Hitler's micro-penis. Wherever you get your podcasts.

Alec Guinness! Jack Hawkins! Spitfires! Heroic sacrifice! We're watching Malta Story! champ.ly/y8QBej1H

NEW EPISODE! We're watching Alec Guinness and Jack Hawkins epitomising heroic sacrifice in "Malta Story". We're joined by former No10 Communications Director Matthew Doyle, who got a peerage simply for coming on the show. What might YOU win for listening?

Britain and Australia: a match made in heaven! This week, we're watching "The Desert Rats", a terrific film that, confusingly, isn't about the actual Desert Rats. Wherever you get your podcasts.

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.

Australia and England working in perfect harmony? It can happen, as we find out in this week's episode: The Desert Rats - a film that was not, confusingly, about the Desert Rats. Wherever you get your podcasts. champ.ly/XqnyT9dr

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

Running! Mel Gibson! Pointless sacrifice! Leopards*! This week, we're watching the amazing Gallipoli, one of the best films about WW1 and trying to outrun a big cat.

*(no actual leopards)

What are your legs? Steel springs! This week we're watching a young Mel Gibson in Peter Weir's unforgettable Gallipoli. With special guest, the amazing @chriskempshall.bsky.social. champ.ly/zTuwgmef
