Pop Screen

This week we give the "Film of the Week" a big old miss, and instead of covering Liam Neeson's latest outing we discuss action cinema's ageing heroes. We also have some action-packed news and in Off the Shelf we find out more about Kumiko: The Treasure Hunter, Traps, The Killing, Red River, Killer's Kiss and Isn't Anyone Alive?

Double figures, Baby!

This week we actually have news to work with, which we duly use as an excuse to fly off into glorious tangents. In addition to our flights of fancy we discuss we discuss Resnais swansong Life of Riley, The Mill and the Cross, Clown, Sullivan's Travels and The Land of Hope and our film of the week is the movie that really isn't a remake of Short Circuit (honest) - Chappie.

This week on Eclectica we go free form, with that we've also added the loveliest news story we've covered so far on the show.

In the Off the Shelf section, Owen faces a baptism of fire with his review the beloved Time Bandits. Meanwhile. Rob gets to grips with the enjoyably daft Comedy of Terrors, and rounding out the section is Graham with the forgotten Peter Weir movie The Last Wave. Our film of the week is the horror hit of the festival circuit - It Follows.

The peak of the awards season is here and we need more one-armed push-ups (Go Jack Palance!). As well talking about the Oscars in our own distinctive way, we take a look at Spring in a Small Town, The Turning, Back to 1942, and Shoah in our off the shelf section - and our film of the week is Blackhat.

This week we forcibly ejected 50 Shades of Grey, and instead opted to give the "other guys" a chance. The first meeting of the B-Sides Club. In Off the Shelf we looked at Spione, Enemy, Sake Bomb, Shanghai 13 and For Love's Sake. We ended the show by covering The Theory of Everything, Big Hero 6 and The Kingsman.

On this week's show, we talk about the BAFTAs, kicking off awards season. In off the shelf, we continue to look at the work of Shinya Tsukamoto with Kotoko, silent masterpiece Metropolis and the notorious Blue Velvet. Our film of the week, the look at the Wachowski's latest Jupiter Ascending. Now if you'll excuse us we are off to torture more celebrities into animal puns.

This week we break all the rules and anger the Great Internet Overlord. We also manage to cram in reviews of Kinetta, Bitter Lake, Diary of a Lost Girl, Greatful Dead, Wake in Fright, and The Children's Book of Cinema. Our film of the week is Inherent Vice. That's right. We have a book review on a movie show - no rules!

This week a slip of the tongue took on almost biblical proportions. Elsewhere. in off the Shelf, we discuss Tokyo Fist, Bullet Ballet, Out of this World: Little Lost Robot, and Ganja & Hess. Our film of the week is Ex-Machina. Now, if you'll excuse us we have loads of outtakes to enjoy.

Movie Rush is no more. Long live movie rush! With this newly monikered edition of the show we look at The Lust of Angels, Woman in Black 2, I’m All Right Jack and our film of the week is Whiplash. Now if you'll excuse, we are off to practice saying our name in front of the mirror.

Today we are joined by the League of Extraordinarily Cosmic Bowie, at least in spirit. On this week's show we talk about Annie, Buy Bling Get One Free, Unbroken, The Interview, The Intimidation Game and our first ever feature presentation in Foxcatcher.
