Episodes

  1. S2 Ep 14: More than a Trim

    True to the episode title, in the interests of time saving, the album review was cut this week. Instead, we simply discuss Sidney Lumet's 1965 film 'The Hill'. A Short and sweet episode then? Well, it's short at the very least. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  2. S2 Ep13: Funostalgia

    We're back with our inconsistent upload schedule so expect an upcoming flood before a drought. Todays it's Jordan Peele's debut film Get Out and danish singer songwriter Agnes Obel's 2016 album Citizens Of Glass. Spoiler alert, there's some unexpected takes but disappointingly few arguments…

  3. Enough Damn Ways: 2 - Enemy Mine

    GEEERRRYYYYYYY. The elusive Si sneakily beams aboard to join Mike ( renowned service station dvd thief/opportunist) and Mark (perhaps still a touch hungover but hiding it well) to discuss Wolfgang Petersen's 1985 flick 'Enemy Mine'. Seminal sci fi classic or shonky B movie? Recorded late in the...

  4. S2 Ep12: The James Milner of Albums

    The boys are back again. (They were actually back a while ago but the scheduled release of this episode never happened. Oops). The episode? Andy's picks. The film is 1973's 'The Day of the Jackal' and the album is 'Masterpiece' by Big Thief. With a name like that, it's just begging for a middle…

  5. Enough Damn Ways: 1- The Big Gundown

    It's fair to say we're pretty rubbish at sustaining regular Screen and Needle podcasts. Sorry about that! Clearly, the logical thing to do when struggling to put together one podcast is throw another cheeky little side one into the mix... Here, Mark is joined by his cousin Mike (and maybe Si, if…

    more
  6. S2 Ep11: I Don't Know What's Going On With Madeiran Radio But Fair Play

    more
  8. S2 Ep9: You're Playing In The House Of Giants, You Know...
