Christmas Special: Casablanca

Season 2, Ep. 11
•

If it’s December 1941 in the podcast, what time is it in New York? Rob Hutton sticks his neck out for no one. Duncan Weldon’s killed two German couriers in an effort to impress him. But of all the gin joints in all the world, who’s this walking into theirs?

For our Christmas special, we’re joined by the journalist and author Hadley Freeman as we watch Casablanca, a war movie disguised as a romance. But who’s Humphrey Bogart’s real love interest - Ingrid Bergman or Claude Rains? And what’s it like to see the film through the eyes of a refugee?

A Pod Too Far was written and presented by Robert Hutton and Duncan Weldon. Audio production by Robin Leeburn. Theme music by Simon Williams. Artwork by James Parret. Lead Producer is Anne-Marie Luff. Group Editor: Andrew Harrison. A Pod Too Far is a Podmasters production.

    Klendathu must be destroyed!

  • 9. A Canterbury Tale - with Sanchia Berg

    49:04||Season 4, Ep. 9
    Rob and Duncan are joined by journalist Sanchia Berg for another Powell and Pressburger outing. This time, it's 1944's A Canterbury Tale, where three pilgrims try to unravel a mystery in the wartime Kent countryside. Not a hit on release, it's since found an obsessive fan base.

  • 8. Dunkirk (1958) with Joe Twyman

    53:10||Season 4, Ep. 8
    Following listener outrage after we watched Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk, we're watching Leslie Norman's 1958 version, starring John Mills and Richard Attenborough. Joining us is pollster Joe Twyman, whose grandfather barely made it off the beach in 1940.Did we prefer the sweeping epic nature of this version, or were we too distracted by John Mill's accent and age?Next week, we're watching A Canterbury Tale, available on the BFI Player and elsewhere.

  • 7. BONUS: Britain's Top 10 WW2 Movies

    27:48||Season 4, Ep. 7
    To coincide with VE Day, we asked Deltapoll to find the nation's favourite WW2 movies. Now that people have stopped shouting abuse at *us* over the resuls, we thought we'd take a look at them. With Rob, Duncan and Deltapoll's Joe Twyman, who's here to tell you you're not as normal as you think you are.

  • 6. The Bridge On The River Kwai - with Miles Jupp

    56:46||Season 4, Ep. 6
    Actor and comedian Miles Jupp (whose own war movie credits include Napoleon and Rogue Heroes) joins Rob and Duncan to discuss Alec Guinness's Oscar-winning performance in the 1957 classic. The film was based on a novel by a Pierre Boule (who would go on to write Planet of the Apes) who decided to transpose his experiences at the hands of his fellow Frenchmen into British characters. At the time it had the most expensive set ever built. Director David Lean hadn't even wanted Guinness - Miles shares his own tales of realising he wasn't the first choice for a role. And Rob reveals why the true story behind the film is even more amazing than the film. Suggestions? Complaints? Get in touch at warmovietheatre@gmail.com

  • 5. EMERGENCY EPISODE - The Rock

    44:42||Season 4, Ep. 5
    EMERGENCY EPISODE! Prompted by Donald Trump tweeting about Alcatraz, Duncan felt he had to watch 1996's The Rock, which Rob thinks is probably a war movie. Is this the first second-screen movie? Does director Michael Bay understand subtlety? How much Nicolas Cage is too much? And is Sean Connery really playing James Bond for the last time. We're back to our regular schedule on Thursday, with The Bridge On The River Kwai.

    01:05:09||Season 4, Ep. 4

Is it really more of a road movie? How come Texas is in an alliance with California? And that's the guy without the camera doing there, anyway?Next week: The Bridge on the River Kwai.

  • 3. I Was Monty's Double

    42:07||Season 4, Ep. 3

Think of it as Dirty Dancing: The WW3 Years.It features a Problematic Moment so Problematic that it ended up being cut, a director who demanded he be paid in firearms, and Joe's unforgettable description of watching the movie on a US military base in Baghdad.Next week: I Was Monty's DoubleSuggestions, comments, offers of cash? warmovietheatre@gmail.com
