We’re back with a brand new name but the same doughty, never-say-die attitude, to watch the war movies that made us the men* we are today. Every week authors Rob Hutton and Duncan Weldon gather under the blackout curtain to view a classic war film – and now they’re joined by equally battle-fixated chums too.

This time on the podcast formerly known as A Pod Too Far: Darryl F. Zanuck’s 1962 D-Day mega-epic The Longest Day with comedian, WWII buff and tank fan Al Murray. What are the best bits? Did your favourite moments really happen? Would you want to be commanded by ‘Pine Coffin’? And how much did John Wayne demand to appear in it? Up the Ox and Bucks!

* and occasionally women

Written and presented by Rob Hutton and Duncan Weldon. Audio production by Simon Williams. Art by Jim Parrett. Group Editor: Andrew Harrison. War Movie Theatre is a Podmasters production.
