Sometimes if I miss a 'Smersh' at Christmas I'll save it until next year. But I wasn't waiting for this. Another corker! ...and yes you're right (if it hasn't been said already) Peter Cushing did write in to 'Jim'll Fix it'.

Thanks to @smershpod.com I was reminded of how great The Fog is, so I bought a copy and am watching it.

I hear that the fashions of Mr Lucas in this film were a huge influence on Brian De Palma…

I can't begin to say how much @smershpod.com means to me. For me it began in the dark days of 2020, it was a hilarious review of James Bond and adjacent movies, to what it's become now. @johnrain.co.uk is an oracle of all great (and frankly terrible) movies. There's something here for everyone.

John is one of the best hosts in the business. The JFK episode was the most fun I’ve ever had on a podcast (a niche award I grant you) and it directly led to my next book. I love him and, like Bryan Adams, everything he does, he does for us.

I remember when this guy (whose father was a toolmaker) was just starting out at An Occasional Theme & Sons pro bono (actually he hated Bono) legal sketches. He’s probably not too big for his boots, but his podcast is too big for you not to listen to it. So, listen. Er, to it.

Everyone out there should be listening to Smershpod. If you aren't already a fan please check it out. Those of you who aren't fans of James Bond are also catered for.

Day 93 of my Christmas with the in-laws and my turn to cook, so headphones on for a @smershpod.com of a film I've never seen, but it doesn't matter. Still funny as fuck.

"Those people look just like ants."
"They are ants, we haven't taken off yet" - I think about this film every time I take a flight even now (and Airplane of course).

Merry Christmas to you all.
Thanks for all the programs this year, If I take anything from 2025 it’s that Keir Starmer is a Lad Lawyer and if you don’t like it then there’s the door 😂

The true meaning of Christmas is the sitcoms-shoehorned-into-films we met along the way.
