Cinema Classics Number 5 - "Now you could study Shakespeare, And be quite elite, And you could charm the critics, And have nothing to eat, Just slip on a banana peel, The world's at your feet."

Get ready to don your raincoats and galoshes! This week, despite our planned guest being out due to a medical emergency, our indefatigable hosts Mike and D.K. are here to whisk you away to the golden age of Hollywood with a dazzling review of the 1952 musical masterpiece, 'Singin' in the Rain'. Join us as we dive into the backstory of this legendary film, uncovering the behind-the-scenes drama and what went into everything from the physical comedy of "Make 'Em Laugh" to Gene Kelly's iconic puddle-splashing routine. We'll discuss the film's tumultuous production, the choreographic wizardry, and the unforgettable performances by Debbie Reynolds, Donald O'Connor, and Jean Hagen. From the toe-tapping tunes to the directorial genius of Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly, we leave no stone unturned. So grab your umbrellas and tune in, because even when it rains, this episode pours with cinematic delight! Just remember: "Dignity, always dignity."

D.K's Cult Classics Episode 18 - "It will tear your soul apart."

We're not sure about your soul, but this month's Cult Classic is such a bumper one that we had to split it into two! In part one DK talks to renowned author and the man whom Clive Barker himself describes as the "resident expert" on Hellraiser, Paul Kane. Join us for a sit down as they talk inspiration, adaptation and just what prompted Mr Kane to become a writer before coming with us for our regular movie review.

In this month's bumper Cult Classics, we take a look at Clive Barker's 1987 theatrical debut and iconic horror movie Hellraiser. Join DK and special guest, author Paul Kane as they do a deep-dive into the movie and talk kitchen-sink drama, special effects creativity, and just why DK's stomach lurches every time he hears someone drain a milkshake dry.

The review itself starts at 01:12:25, if you want to head straight there, but we urge you to check out the interview with Paul. It's a good one!
