This week, Max is taking charge of the Film Club, and today he sets the theme of the week as '80s Action' with 1989's 'Road House'. Patrick Swayze plays Dalton, the ultimate bouncer, who has been hired to clean up the Double Deuce, one of the meanest bars in the south. Along the way he finds himself on the wrong side of the de-facto owner of the town. Sam Elliot also shows up as Wade Garret, Daltons even cooler mentor and friend.

After a week of '3 good films', today Chris rounds things off with a very, VERY bad one, with 2008's 'Meet the Spartans'. In this parody of '300' and other films, the heroic Spartan king Leonidas, armed with nothing but leather underwear and a cape, leads a ragtag bunch of 13 Spartan misfit warriors to defend their homeland against thousands of invading Persians whom include the Ghost Rider, Rocky Balboa, the Autobots, and an ugly hunchbacked Paris Hilton. Note: Chris still hasn't forgiven his brother for making him watch this one in the cinema.

The third 'Good pick' from Chris this week is summer blockbuster by Marvel 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'. The umpteenth Spider-Man reboot in the past few years, 'Homecoming' is his first solo film to be considered a part of the 'Marvel Cinematic Universe', and focuses on both the issues of wanting to be an avenger, while being 15 and in High School. Tom Holland stars as Spider-Man/Peter Parker, with Micheal Keaton being a fantastic baddy as the Vulture. Robert Downey Jnr, Jon Favreau and Zendaya also star.  

Up next on the Film Club, another good film! Today it's 'Spectral' from 2016. A science-fiction film set in the near future, the film sees the US military involved in a civil war in Moldova, when weird spectral beings start showing up and killing people by touch. A group of soldiers get stuck in the middle of a city, surrounded by these creatures, and must find out how to stop them. Stars James Badge Dale, Emily Mortimer, Max Martini and Bruce Greenwood.

This week. Chris mixes things up again with a selection. 4 Films, '3 good, 1 bad'. First, one of the good films, is 'Coherence', written and directed by James Ward Byrkit. Shot over 5 nights at his house, this thriller sees a group of friends at a dinner party thrown into chaos after a blackout, and weird things start happening in their street. Largely improvisational and with a mostly unknown cast, it was made for just £50,000.

Hi Drivetimers Welcome to the second of our Best Of... series, this time featuring Drivetime's Charlotte Wibrew and Alex McKay, covering Hot Topics whilst Ian Rogers was "unavailable". Watch out for another podcast next week, ahead of our triumphant return in September.

Hi Drivetimers Whist we are on our summer holidays, we thought we'd give you some highlights in a podcast, to help you while away the hours until our triumphant return in September. In May, Ian Rogers was indisposed for a week (don't ask!) so Space Doctor Sam Rolfe & Radio Verulam's Casanova Alex McKay kindly stepped into the breach. Enjoy!

And to wrap up a Film Club week of 'Schlocky but fun', today Chris looks at 1979 Italian zombie movie 'Zombi 2'. Released as a sequel to George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead (which was called Zombi in Italy) it was considered a ‘video nasty’ at it’s release in the UK. It also features a scene where a zombie fights a shark. What’s not to love?

Schlocky Films continue to be the focus of the Film Club this week, with Chris looking at 'Bad Taste' today. This 1987 Science Fiction/ Horror/ Splatter Comedy sees aliens invade the fictional New Zealand village of Kaihoro to harvest humans for their intergalactic fast food franchise. They find themselves having to face off against a four-man paramilitary force, of which at least one member appears to have gone insane. Best known for being Peter Jackson's foothold into the film industry.
