Now we all know that Bowie was a genius, right? A musical giant whose name will live on long after we're dust. But will his acting roles live on? Join Adam J. Marsh and self-confessed Bowie-nut Darrell Buxton as they explore the acting career of David Bowie.

Covering films like The Man Who Fell To Earth (1976), The Hunger (1983), Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence (1983), Absolute Beginners (1986) and perhaps his most famous film, Labyrinth (1986).

Steve Martin came out of the gate on the big screen and was pretty much an instant success (at least in the US). Four films in this initial six-year period (1979-1984) were directed by Carl Reiner.

Join Adam and Darrell as they explore what made this partnership so special and led to the creation of The Jerk (1979), Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid (1982), The Man With Two Brains (1983) and All Of Me (1984).

For this podcast Adam and Darrell take a look at the film career of Kathleen Turner. She arrived on the film scene in 1981 and was an immediate success establishing her as an A-List actor.

From the smouldering sexuality of Body Heat, to the mousey romance novelist of Romancing The Stone and outrageous roles for Ken Russell and John Waters, Turner has had a career that should be the envy of most Hollywood A-Listers.

Cine-Lit heads back to the crime vault for this latest podcast.

Adam & Darrell look at an unusual period in Walter Matthau's career. Known for his comedy roles in films like The Fortune Cookie and The Odd Couple, Matthau took a sharp turn into crime territory with a three-film run between 1973 and 1974.

Cine-Lit looks at this short blip (Charley Varrick, The Laughing Policeman and The Taking Of Pelham 123) in closer detail.

Adam and Darrell delve into the films of Norman J. Warren for this episode of the Cine-Lit podcast.

Norman passed away in March 2021 so we thought it was only right to pay homage and look at the man who was, in many ways, a one-man British Horror Industry in the late 70s/early 80s.

Norman was a regular at film festivals over the past thirty years where he was a familiar face and often challenged for the title of Nicest Man in Horror.

After a couple of podcasts wrestling with cinema's greatest monsters, Adam and Darrell face down another Titan of Monster Cinema. Ray Harryhausen had a magical career bringing stop-motion life to films like the Sinbad trilogy, Mighty Joe Young, Clash Of The Titans, Hammer's One Million Years B.C. and the legendary Jason and the Argonauts.

Sure, the actors played their part but you were really paying to see such cinematic monsters like The Kraken, The Hydra, sword-wielding skeletons, Gwangi, Mighty Joe Young and, of course, the snake-haired Medusa.
