    A Big Bag Of Halloween Camp

    It's our Halloween special! As ever, we do away with conventions to bring you something a little different, so we present to you "Screams around the World". Films included this week escalate a little, we have Haxan and Frontier(s) before going off the deep end with Dracula in Pakistan and the legendarily weird J-Horror, Hausu. Our Feature Presentation is the highly acclaimed Korean Zombie Film - Train to Busan.

  • Hypernormalisation + Body Double + 52 Pickup + The Epic of Everest - Eclectica #89
    Adam Curtis's Hypnotoad

    This week's title was brought to you by Letterboxd user Ned Gilmore and this week's featured film is a streaming title - all the rules are being broken today. We look at De Palma's Body Double as a new Label is launched, silent cold doc The Epic of Everest and Frankenheimer oddity 52 Pickup. Our feature presentation was Adam Curtis' new film Hypernormalisation.

  • Lo and Behold: Reveries of the Connected World + Cosmos + War on Everyone - Eclectica #88
    Anti-Social Surrealism

    This week on the show we trade Rob's, for technical reasons, of course. We look at Zulawski's baffling final film Cosmos, notorious video nasty The Burning and Murnau's The Grand Duke's Finances. Our Feature Presentation doubled up and mutated a second Werner Herzog-shaped head as we looked at the German eccentrics new documentary Lo and Behold: Reveries of the Connected World, and John Michael McDonagh's latest War on Everyone.

  • Swiss Army Man + Fedora + Vamp + Love & Friendship - Eclectica #87
    A Seaworthy Vessel Of Scuzz

    Between the madness of being a bit ill and accidental necrophilia, it's something of an eventful show this week. This week we look at Billy Wilder's Fedora, art-house oddity Who Are You, Polly Maggoo?, 80s High Camp Horror in Vamp and the doubly divisive Love & Friendship. Our film of the week is Sundance favourite, Swiss Army Man.

    1 hr 28 min
  • The Girl with all the Gifts + Electra, My Love + Paths of Glory + Carmen Jones - Eclectica #86
    Mecha Hitler Vs Cyber Churchill

    As we travel the country this week, we learn that the big news has been following us. Conspiracy! Also, we look at Robert Aldrich's The Flight of the Phoenix, Kubrick's Paths of Glory, and the accidental creation of the oddest of double bill's in Second Run's Electra, My Love and Otto Preminger's musical Carmen Jones. Our feature presentation was the surprise package that was The Girl with All the Gifts.
    1 hr 33 min
  • Hunt for the Wilderpeople + Psychomania + Cat People - Eclectica #85
    Time Skips and Road Trips

    On this highly mobile, near-fatal episode we take a look at Jacques Tourneur's "Cat People", Paul Newman and Orson Welles in "The Long Hot Summer", Stanley Kramer's "The Secret of Santa Vittoria" and cult British Horror "Psychomania". After that, we hand over to our past selves for our Feature Presentation - Taika Waititi's "Hunt For The Wilderpeople".

  • Hell or High Water + Kubo and the Two Strings + Don't Breathe - Eclectica #84
    The Cinema Politika Threshold

    We are doing it backwards, this time out. Off the Shelf is in the theatre as we look at 4 new releases: Kubo and the Two Strings, Hell or High Water, Anthropoid and Don't Breathe. Our film of the week was the latest outing for the director's lottery with Jean Cocteau and his definitive adaptation of Beauty and the Beast - or La Belle et la Bete.

    1 hr 30 min
  • Everyone Wants Some + Childhood of a Leader + Stalker + Black Rain- Eclectica #82
    Things are going in a Grave Robbing direction

    On this extended edition we see the return of B-sides, featuring films such as Tickled, Star Trek Beyond, Evolution, Childhood of a Leader and Everyone Wants Some. Films that could've been the film of the week but were beaten to the punch by something else.

    Elsewhere, we have all the normal features such a News, Trailer Talk and our Weekly preview. Our off the shelf films come in the shape of Tarkovsky's Stalker, Conversation Pieces, Cry of the City and Shohei Imamura's Black Rain.
