If you’ve ever been to an American Football game in the states, or grew up in the UK in the 70s, then you’ll know exactly what we mean.

What is their continued appeal, and why do the bad guys seem to like them so much? This may seem like an odd topic for us to cover, but as you know, we’re planning to do some deeper dives into topics this season, so it should be a “Good Year!”</p><p><br></p><p>Yes, today we invite you to come “up, up and away in our beautiful balloon,” as we take a deep-dive into…Airships.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><h2>Airships in films</h2><ul><li><a href=\"https://www.justwatch.com/uk/movie/black-sunday\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Black Sunday (1977)</a></li><li><a href=\"https://www.justwatch.com/uk/movie/indiana-jones-and-the-last-crusade\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)</a></li><li><a href=\"https://www.justwatch.com/uk/movie/a-view-to-a-kill\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">A View to a Kill (1985)</a></li><li><a href=\"https://www.justwatch.com/uk/movie/blade-runner\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Blade Runner (1982)</a></li><li><a href=\"https://www.justwatch.com/uk/movie/castle-in-the-sky\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Castle in the Sky (1986)</a></li><li><a href=\"https://www.justwatch.com/uk/movie/sky-captain-and-the-world-of-tomorrow\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004)</a></li><li><a href=\"https://www.justwatch.com/uk/search?q=charlie+chan+at+the+olympics\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Charlie Chan at the Olympics</a></li><li><a href=\"https://www.justwatch.com/uk/movie/the-golden-compass\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Golden Compass (2007)</a></li><li><a href=\"https://www.justwatch.com/uk/movie/metropolis\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Metropolis (1927)</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><br></p><h2>This fortnight we are recommending</h2><p>Kris:</p><ul><li><a href=\"https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0018cd1\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Seven Days on Mars</a></li><li>John Gacy drama ITVX (tbc)</li><li>The Carman Family Deaths (Netflix)</li></ul><p>Andi:</p><ul><li><a href=\"https://album.link/gb/i/1818466071\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Smoke &amp; Mirrors + Other Things</a>- The Eden House</li><li>It got suggested after listening to The Mission.
