At the Flicks

This month Jeff manages to miss one of the three films reviewed (slacker), and we travel to London to meet Lucy.

The 2019 Stroud Film Festival starts on the 9th March and to discuss the programme for this year we sat down with Andy Freedman who is a Co. Director of the Festival to talk about the films, venues, competitions, events and workshops that make this festival such a unique experience. Please be aware there is a brief spoiler in this show relating to Star Wars: The Empire Strikes back.

The At the Flicks team visited the set of BBC TV show, Shakespeare & Hathaway to interview location manager, Midge Ferguson. His Work includes; Merlin, Atlantis, The Man From UNCLE and King Arthur : Legend Of The Sword.

Welcome to a new pod short monthly series – director on director. For this first edition we talk to Phil about director Peter Jackson.

We start the New Year looking forward to the Movies that we hope will delight us, even though Jeff gets one wrong!

Three friends of the Podcast; Katie, Steve and Nick, tell us what they have been watching this month.

In this Podcast Short, Jeff leads the team in a discussion of how films in the UK came to be regulated by the BBFC. We discuss the advisory nature of the certification and the gulf between certificates in the UK and US.

A final present for you in this festive season – our last podcast of the year. Jeff and Neil fight over the last mince pie as we introduce you to the Blaenau Gwent Film Academy. Also there is Lucy’s top five films of the year and a report on the recent London Korean film festival.

Phil Foster, from the Phil the Bear’s film review site, and Friend of the Pod Declan Shiels discuss with the team their top 5 movies of 2018.

Back in the October episode of our Podcast, Nick Wilkes regaled us with his cinema stories. In this short Nick returns to tell us stories of his time as an actor and playwright.
