Evil Under the Sun (1982)

Chris Wuergler addreses the mystery of what makes a good Agatha Christie detective while extolling the humour of Peter Ustinov's Poirot. Jimmy wonders why he doesn't know more about these people and why on earth the setting was moved so far from the original location in England. 

In a complete reversal for Halloween, a movie about whimsy instead of horror as guests Christine Wuergler and Kristian Reimer join Jimmy England and Ryan Sim to talk about 1950's Harvey. It's a movie Jimmy picked and wonder of wonders, they loved it! Even Ryan - who hadn't seen it - was so intrigued he wanted to go home and watch it. A fun and funny episode that'll make you want to seek out the movie too.

A movie designed to make you re-examine your relationship with friends. But did friends ever behave like this? Or are they too well off to be relatable? Will Jimmy and guest Mario Bernardi re-examine their friendship? Were they ever friends? Find out htis and more in another fun and funny episode.

Jimmy gets Ryan Sim to watch The Maltese Falcon and blows his mind. They talk about the cast, the legacy and Ryan's newfound facination with Bogie, an actor he had never seen before and how being in black and white really works for the movie. 

Mario Bernardi and Chris Jarvie are back and they're not monkeying around - that, by the way, is the only money joke you'll hear about the original Planet of the Apes. A ground-breaker for non-human make-up, it also introduced a concept that spawned TV shows and movies right up until today. But does the original hold up or is it just a curiousity. The answer might surprise you.

Larry Smith returns with a bee in his bonnet for the movie Dick Tracy. Larry is totally in love with this movie despite some reservations. Listen to what makes it special for him while Jimmy and engineer Greg (to a lesser degree) roll thier eyes. No really, you might be able to hear them do it.

Women are delicate flowers, right? Sometimes but new guest Kelly Holt breaks the mould with her spirited praise of the movie Road House. Guest engineer Greg Dobrowski doesn't help matters with his enthusiastic support, leaving Jimmy wondering what he's missing. 

We never thought we'd see a film chosen by guest Bob Kerr we'd actually enjoy. But honest to Peter, Killer Klowns From Outer Space is so quirky and daffy it defies logic and we liked it, we genuinely liked it. We love all our podcasts with Bob, but this just might be our favourite.

To say this episode went off the rails very quickly is an understatement. Somehow guest Ryan Sim and engineer Phil (in one of his last engineering spots) ended up at lagerheads over the existence of aliens. Somehow though, they found time to review the movie. A lot of passion between believers and non-believers, this is the episode that might unleash social media hell.

A Hollywood comedy director wants to make the great American Drama - it does not go well. Jimmy England wants guest Chris Wuergler and engineer Phil to like it as much as he does. It does not go well. One of the great screwball comedies of all time with a serious core.
