What is War Movie Theatre about? How do we pick the films?
The idea was first to talk about the films we watched growing up, and how they shaped our understanding of the world. But we've gone wider...

Somehow, no one has suggested this, obvious though it is.

That feeling when the podcaster hasn't sold their ad spot and you don't need to scramble for the +30 🔘. Meme worthy @warmovietheatre.bsky.social ?

Scene from where eagles date. Laughing and drinking.

Oooh. Not seen either of these, but they can definitely go on the list. Thanks for doing the survey!

Zut alors! Sacre bleu! Cette semaine sur Theatre des Movies de la Guerre, nous voyons une filme Francais! Bien sur, c'est "Is Paris Burning?" comme tous les grands stars de la France et aussi les Etats-Unis! Bof.

Your weekend listen: lust in the dust, deceit in the desert, intrigue in Italy. That's right, we're watching The English Patient, and asking the big questions: how come Juliette Binoche can do such a good job of cutting her own hair, and exactly how long was Kristin Scott Thomas left in that cave?

Loved @lucyberesford.bsky.social’s Ralph Fiennes impression as much as Adam Buxton’s, as well as the similar take on the euphemistic picture pasting youtu.be/irEivzvZX9s

Wind! Sand! Epic romance! This week, we're wondering how Juliette Binoche managed to cut her own hair so nicely and exactly how long Kristin Scott-Thomas spent in that cave as we watch The English Patient. With special guest @lucyberesford.bsky.social

I've just finished editing and uploading this episode, and it's great fun. Proper jaw-dropping moment when you find out who the studio wanted instead of Kristin Scott-Thomas.

Lucy Beresford @lucyberesford.bsky.social · 7d

It's D-day minus 1. And I'm praying for good weather.

That's right: tomorrow I begin my airborne assault of @warmovietheatre.bsky.social to establish a beachhead for THE ENGLISH PATIENT

Only @roberthutton.co.uk
+ @duncanweldon.bsky.social stand in my way.

It's quite the range of different reactions we all had to the same thing.

Here is the visual prop that I helpfully brought to an audio podcast.

Weekend listen: a 1964 film about accidental nuclear war from an acclaimed director, featuring a mad scientist who plans to kill millions. That's right, it's.."Fail Safe"
Expecting something else?
An amazing film and the amazing story of its battle with Dr Strangelove. With @markpackuk.bsky.social

The Sound of Music 4K restoration carried out to mark the film’s 60th anniversary is phenomenally good - Christopher Plummer on the big screen has to be seen to believed. And you get to appreciate Robert Wise’s fantastic direction even more.

It's on the list, though the list is long.

Never heard of this. Sounds intriguing.

I think it's time for the regulators to crack down on podcast descriptions...

The Ocean's 11 star couldn't be with us to make the case for it himself, so we're joined by a man known to many as the Clooney of British politics, Mark Pack: polling expert, Liberal Democrat member of the House of Lords and Total Nerd.

Aliens: a film whose production was characterised by mutual loathing James Cameron and his British crew.

Sunday afternoon push for what's becoming one of our most popular episodes: Aliens. How did a young director hated by the film crews turn a sci-fi horror into a billion-dollar franchise? Is it really all about Vietnam? And what is the most quotable line?

Wherever you get your podcasts.
