Episode 96: Black Bette

In this week’s episode…

We’re touring the world with the help of a very special guide book!

There’s a whole bunch of thank-yous!

There’s a very TUMS remedy to consider!

And then we’ve got a dive into some unconventional noir…

The first is a Jules Dassin classic set in and around the endlessly winding alleyways of London’s Soho, and the second is a date with Bette Davis in sweaty Singapore for a very moral dilemma…

Plus music from Johnny Mercer, Jo Stafford, Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald!

Episode 40: Ealing Good

In this week's episode, Adam's going through a midlife crisis! We'll hear a selection of songs with crazy-ass names! And we'll use All-Bran to restore our "regularity" back in tune...

Reviews this week come from England's finest, Ealing Studios, and a trio of films it produced in the early twentieth century, 'The Love Lottery', 'Barnacle Bill', and 'Pink String And Sealing Wax'...

...and utilising some terrible sleight-of-hand, Adam will link the whole boiling lot to a classic piece of radio entertainment...

Episode 13: I Wish You Were Dead, Old Man

This week's episode is a horrifying affair, with reviews of 'Captive Wild Woman' (which may be the best film Adam's ever seen...), 'The Man They Could Not Hang', 'Supernatural', and the superlative British horror 'Dead Of Night' featuring suicidal golfers, creepy children, rooms within mirrors, and sinister dummies...

Also featured are adverts that will help you towards your natural "regularity", and provide the answer to the perennial question: "Why did so many soldiers die in army hospitals?". Dick Powell has the answer...

This week's radio play is a wickedly macabre tale from the marvellously dark radio series, 'Quiet Please', entitled 'The Thing On The Fourble Board'...

Turn the lights down low, and the headphones up high...
