That’s a very disrespectful way of talking about the world’s first dog tailor.

I was somewhat disappointed that there were not more dance shenanigans. 😂 Chekov's dance did not deliver!

I feel it's a good one! I wish I'd seen it as a child. 😁

Because the effects are delightful, right? Is that why? Because I am so delighted by the models. 🥹

I just need everyone to know that there is 10 year old Ayesha and there is 49 year old Ayesha and sometimes the younger is at the reins. 😂

Why am I like this?

If you like a kitsch groovy 60s Kaiju extravaganza boys adventure story with secret underground lairs and corrupt authorities then I would highly recommend this film.

But you may not be like this. I don’t know the essence of you. Only you can know that.

But I like it. A lot.

I'm joined on the podcast by Steve Rogers of Hammer Films to discuss their 4K UHD / Blu-ray of Terence Fisher's whodunit, MANTRAP, starring Paul Henreid, Lois Maxwell & Kay Kendall. Catch the chat here:

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

I don’t think people appreciate how much of an emotional coward I am. I think Threads is going to have to be watched.

Immediate add to the podcast list. Thank you. I don't like what this says about my ongoing beef with 2026 though.

I still haven't seen Threads of The Day After. On The Beach left me pretty devastated. I wish I were made of sterner (nuclear resistant) stuff.

Mwahahahahah.

The War Game (1966) by Peter Watkins was pulled from the BBC as the content was considered too horrific for a TV audience. It was shown in cinemas and won an Oscar for best documentary feature.

A psuedo-documentary but it might still deserve an episode... 🤔 

Warning: Not a fun watch.

I’ll try and get to it this week. I have a list! And my impending 2001 ambitions are even more frightening than Eyes Without a Face. 😂

Seconds is the first 1966 film! It's recorded but not edited yet. 😁 No question on "whether" I'd cover that one.

The podcast is finally heading into 1966 and I'm intrigued by The Face of Another (by Toho studios) but I think this means it's finally time to face my fears and watch Eyes Without a Face (1960).

I'm scared. 😭

100% agree 🥺

Yeah the AI slop does remarkably well. The top two or three film history podcasts in the US right now are all AI. I do wonder if it’s a long battle. The vast majority of people don’t seem to care. Someone told me today “I don’t choose it it just comes up” as a defence of why they watch. 🥺

Amazing how much control of information there has been.

I know about MKULTRA and COINTELPRO but I suppose I've never had the stomach to read every last horrific detail of their campaigns.

A bureau I am so very familiar with.

ARGH! FBI! FBI! Dagnammit!

The FBI, J Edgar Hoover and Nixon were all in on the stalking and harassment of a woman who dared to support civil rights.

The Los Angeles Times and Newsweek printed the false rumours.

I found this such a heartbreaking story. All whilst researching a film that doesn't even star Jean Seburg.

Seberg suffered deteriorating mental health problems leading to attempts on her own life.

In 1979 Seberg was found dead in the back of her car in Paris with a bottle of barbiturates, a bottle of water and a suicide note. The death was rules a probable suicide by police in Paris.

Seberg was also aggressively intimidated and harassed by in person FBI surveillance and stalking. This included while she travelled across Europe.

In 1970 Seberg lost her child after a premature birth that her ex-husband claimed was due to stress of this harssment.

The rumours were printed in the Los Angeles Times and Newsweek. 

Seberg later shared that the father was Mexican revolutionary Carlos Navarra.

In 1970 this broke two social norms. First of a child being born out of wedlock and the second of interracial relationships. Although Loving vs Virginia in 1967 made it illegal to ban mixed race marriages a poll in 1968 showed that 72% still disapproved of marriages between Black and White people.
