Tom Hiddleston's Plasticine Nipples

It's an educational show this week as Aidan, Tim and Graham learn about the darkest secret of Hammer Studios and the how the director of "Some Like It Hot" prolonged the legend of the Loch Ness Monster. Before all of that there's Film of the Week - Aardman Animation's latest expertly-moulded offering "Early Man".

It's got cavemen, but does it rock?

A full Off the Shelf sees Graham discussing StudioCanal's reissue of the last in the classic Hammer Horror cycle "To the Devil A Daughter", Tim giving Eureka's "The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes" a thorough investigation, and Aidan discovering the Dirty Harry/Bicycle Thieves connection we never knew existed in Arrow Academy's "The Witches".

Now if you'll excuse us, we're off to Pier Paolo Pasolini's Simpsons cosplay party.

Breaking Your Heart (Pixar Style)

We open this week's show with one of the most unexpected recommendation sections before throwing ourselves into Pixar's newest film - "Coco". We're not crying as we type this, shut up, you are!

Sniff

Who put all that dust in here?

After that eye-watering beginning we launch into Off the Shelf with a trio of films. Aidan looks at Indicator's release of "The Border" - starring Jack Nicholson at the peak of his powers. Meanwhile, Rob gets confused about whether Jia Zhangke's "24 City" is a documentary or not and Ryan gets down and dirty with Giallo Classic "Cat O' Nine Tails".

Oh, and please don't say the words "remember me" to Rob. It's too soon for him.

Putting Bosoms on the Back-Burner

It's the first regular show of 2018 and Graham is already being judgemental about the films the that Ryan and Mick are looking forward to in our New Year's Question of the Week. Can one of them get their own back by catching him out on film trivia in Off the Shelf? That, we cannot say …

What we can say is that we're reviewing Straight On Till Morning from StudioCanal and The Battle of Algiers from Cult Films, but before that comes our Film of the Week - Martin McDonagh's Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.

It's Oscar-tipped McDormand performance made us Frances Ha, then Frances Shudder, then Frances Cry.

It's time for our review of 2017, and with it comes the usual cliffhanging tension.

What will Rob, Graham, Aidan and Ryan pick as their films of the year? What will be the most breathtakingly perverse top ten choices? Whose voice will give out first from seasonal flu? All of these questions (and some more), will be answered in this bumper special episode.

There's also a slight return for Question of the Week as we asked our listeners for their favourite films of the last year and a round-up of our favourite home entertainment releases, as well as a trip down awful memory lane with our least favourite films of 2017.

We'll be back in a couple of weeks, or however long it takes for Ryan to recover from being reminded that Alien: Covenant was a thing.

Merry Dick Maas Everybody!

The mince pies have been laid out, the tinsel has been put up, and the Christmas tree - well, let's not talk about the Christmas tree.

It's Cinema Eclectica's Christmas Special and we've got a festive trio of movies from around the world. From the Netherlands, Dick Maas gives us a very un-jolly Saint Nick in "Saint". From the USSR, we take flight on our skis with Gennadi Kazansky's "The Snow Queen", and from the seventh circle of hell it's Flamarion Ferrera's infamous animated special "The Christmas Tree".

But before that it's time to attend to our Film of the Week, which is James Franco's acting-directing homage to fellow multihyphenate Tommy Wiseau, "The Disaster Artist". Will any of us be able to

Come Back British Folk Horror! Come Back!

Not only does British folk horror need to come back, so too does our wi-fi! We have some issues throughout the show and for that we apologise in advance. Still, we motor on like the podcast titans that we are.

We kick off the show with Masaki Kobayashi (the winner of last week's Director's Lottery), and his seminal Japanese horror "Kwaidan". After that we continue our ongoing look at the king of silent comedy - Buster Keaton - with "Steamboat Bill Jr." before finishing the show in Korea with Hoon-Jung Park's "The Tiger: An Old Hunter's Tale"
