What is War Movie Theatre about? How do we pick the films?

Pavlowian reaction:
Disappointing - nay problematic - lack of Muriel Pavlow knowledge chaps! The year after this she’s falling for Dirk Bogarde in Doctor in the House, but you’ll definitely come across her again when you finally get around to doing the abomination that is Reach for the Sky!

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?

In a move that no one saw coming, tomorrow's guest for War Movie Theatre also features in tonight's list of new members of the House of Lords. If you fancy a seat in the Lords, pick a movie you'd like to discuss and get in touch.

Great discussion by the @warmovietheatre.bsky.social crew about one of my favorite genre mixes — war and noir. Attack! is hard-boiled combat drama with a fantastic cast, unsung and ahead of its time. Nice counterpart to another fave, Kubrick's Paths of Glory. Get the podcast, see the movie. #noir
NEW EPISODE! Robert Aldrich's grim, cynical Attack! starring Jack Palance and Lee Marvin as US soldiers fighting for different things in the Battle of the Bulge. With special guest Mark Greig - @wrdface.bsky.social - screenwriter of detectives of every sort.
Wherever you get your podcasts.

I look forward to the sequel, Casablancas.
Netflix, which rarely carries a single movie from before 1980, wants you to know how thrilled they are to acquire that classic piece of franchise IP, Casablanca

Fun, as always. Given there are bound to be American film production companies out there thinking “Fox, Rats, what’s next?”, I am considering writing “Desert Hedgehogs”, a tale of plucky Australian soldiers commanded by English officers who take up defensive positions using only bayonets.

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.

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
