Adam sits down with Steve Hatcher, organiser of the Doctor Who Convention Whooverville, to talk about the Doctor's visits to the big screen.

In the episode, we cover the two Amicus Dalek movies of the 1960s that starred British acting legend Peter Cushing as Doctor Who.

We look at the 1970s efforts to bring Who to the big screen with Tom Baker, and explore the various ill-advised attempts in the 80s and early 90s that led to the making of Doctor Who - The Movie starring Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor.

Finally we talk about the 50th Anniversary special The Day Of The Doctor that played cinema screenings across the world.

Adam and Darrell jump back to the earliest days of cinema and take a look at the birth of the crime film in the first in a series of podcasts about the crime genre.

In this first podcast they cover the first appearance of Sherlock Holmes (1900), animal heroics in Rescued By Rover (1905), the significance of films like Underworld (1927), Fantomas (1913-1914), Dr Mabuse, Der Spieler (1922) before the sound of the Tommy Gun shattered the silence forever in films like Little Caesar (1931), The Public Enemy (1931) and Scarface (1932).

Cine-Lit intends to drop back in on the crime genre periodically and explore more areas in this perenially popular genre.

Adam and Darrell reunite for another Cine-Lit podcast this time looking into the work of a director that maybe not so many people are aware of.

Inspired by Adam's comment that "There is always something to enjoy in a Brian Trenchard-Smith film." They are exploring the work of director Brian Trenchard-Smith, pioneer of the Ozploitation boom of filmmaking in Australia in the 1970s and 1980s. In a career that comprises of action, drama, kung fu, family films, science-fiction, horror, thrillers and any other genre you can named, Trenchard-Smith has done it all in his over 50 year career. Focusing on five films from his filmography, Adam and Darrell discuss the merits of The Man From Hong Kong (1975), Stunt Rock (1978), Turkey Shoot (1981), BMX Bandits (1983) and Dead End Drive In (1986) and how these films encapsulate the career of BTS.

In our recent two-part series focussing on The New Hollywood movement, regular contributor Film Historian Darrell Buxton boldly claimed that Roger Corman was the most important American film maker in post-war cinema.

So Adam decided to challenge Darrell to back up his argument in a wide-ranging conversation which focuses on Corman’s long career as a producer and director. Also covered is his role as a talent spotter and an influential cheerleader for some of the biggest names in modern cinema.

This latest episode of Cine-Lit, Adam is joined by regular contributor Film Historian Darrell Buxton.

In the midst of the lockdown that many are experiencing across the world, Adam and Darrell discuss Single Location movies. Movies where the protagonists are restricted to a single location, whether that be chained to a radiator in a dirty room (Saw) or trapped between a Rock and A Hard Place (127 Hours). They establish the parameters, the highlights and discuss why, if you are a low budget filmmaker, a single location movie might aid the creative process.
