Pick a Flick!
05 - Do You Expect Them to Talk?
•
Now pay attention, 00’s! This podcast has all the usual refinements - Tony Black(finger) back on hosting duties, chairing this special episode about all things James Bond, as Spectre arrives and thrills the world. Appropriately, this episode brings over hosts of new 007 podcast, Do You Expect Us To Talk, to join him - Chris Byrne, Becca Andrews and Bond… Dave Bond. No relation.
It’s all about the Daniel Craig era in this episode, as the team pick their way through CASINO ROYALE first, discussing it’s fascinating history alongside the picture itself…
The follow up, QUANTUM OF SOLACE, is defended by Chris as they wonder if it’s quite as bad as its reputation suggests…
Chris (and Dave) are less enthused with SKYFALL, the monster hit of Craig’s Bond era, and they unpick why…
Before the big one - fresh reactions to SPECTRE, the all new 007 film, and how it may influence the future of James Bond on screen…
Finally, the group team up for 008 QUESTION TIME, facing eight questions about the Classic James Bond era (pre-2006) - will they shoot their way to the top of the leaderboard?
You know their names. You know the number. Accept no substitutes.

37 - Sympathy With a Vengeance
01:19:03We head across the world for some South Korean ultraviolence this week, as PICK A FLICK! focuses on the celebrated 'Vengeance Trilogy' which proved a landmark in Korean cinema. Paul Field hosts, alongside Andrew Brooker, as both take an occasionally filthy but always entertaining look at three Korean movies. SYMPATHY FOR MR. VENGEANCE, the first in the 'trilogy', the most famous OLDBOY (which was of course remade for US audiences), and finally SYMPATHY FOR LADY VENGEANCE, perhaps the least seen of the three - as nominated by Malfrey's Movie Madness & Kevin Wight. Also Paul & Brooker take a look at their own Top 5 Korean movies - what will their recommendations be?

36 - Pick a (Disc!)
47:24Dim the lights! Cue the music! For PICK A FLICK! is going off the reservation once again, and moving away from movies altogether for the 'backdoor pilot' of a brand new, possible spin-off show - PICK A DISC! The brainchild of Matt Latham (of The Bottle Episode), it follows the same rules as PAF - you pick an album, we talk about it, simple. Joining Matt to talk about the nominated album in this episode is old friend and music afficionado, Lee Chrimes. On the agenda? 'Murder Ballads' from Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, as nominated by Kevin Wight. Listen to Matt & Lee chew through the songs, the history, and you may well listen to it with renewed fascination...

33 - Three Flavours Cornetto
54:41How's this for a slice of fried gold? PICK A FLICK! tackles three (or should that be two?) modern classics this time around, with returning host Dave Bond (of Do You Expect Us to Talk?) joined by two show debutantes - Paul Hawkins (one half of the Blokebusters Podcast) and Andrew Dodderidge, in his first ever podcast experience - to talk the 'Cornetto Trilogy'. First, SHAUN OF THE DEAD--the first team up of old friends Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg & Nick Frost--followed by HOT FUZZ, and finally THE WORLD'S END. Our trio examine each picture before theorising on what might make a good fourth Cornetto movie if they ever chose to make it.
