Okay, in this podcast we have the ur-global warming movie The Day The Earth Caught Fire, directed by Val Guest and starring Edward Judd, Leo McKern and Janet Munro, the fifth person in my alt.Magnificent Seven, the movie that inspired a cosmological theory - the 1945 Ealing horror movie Dead of Night and talk about a place where you can get enough free movie and tv series downloads to last you a lifetime. Link to an article in The Guardian about the links between the Steady State Theory and Dead of Night. Internet Archive Links The Archive.Org Archive of The Adventures of Robin Hood. The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari DOA (1949) Panic In The Streets (1950)

In this podcast I look at the 1962 nuclear war scare film "Panic In Year Zero!" starring Ray Milland and Frankie Avalon and gush lyrically about the two 1960s Jacques Demy musical masterpieces, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg and The Young Girls of Rochefort.

In this podcast I look at Jules Dassin's two classic crime caper movies, Rififi and Topkapi - the sources from which all subsequent caper movies evolved. In the film noir segment I talk about Robert Wise's 1949 boxing film, The Set-Up, based (believe it or not) on a 1929 poem by Joseph Moncure March and finally, the third of my alternative Magnificent Seven action film stars of the 1960s - Australian actor Rod Taylor.

Once more with feeling... this podcast includes the second of my alt.magnificent 7 of pre 1980 action stars, a look at Otto Preminger's film noir movie "Angel Face" and a look at the cool genre tv shows that Lord Lew Grade produced with his British TV company ITC. The chipmunk problem is now solved. The podcast sounds as good as it every does. Enjoy!
