John Carpenter's 1978 Halloween

We examine the cultural legacy and commercial success of this iconic suburban nightmare for our 61st episode.

Mischief, mayhem and maybe the yearning for a soul mate too. Fincher's cult classic is on the marble and an old friend joins me for his first appearance on the podcast so we can break the first two rules of Fight Club.

Adorable creatures, Bowie's bulge and a spoilt teenager's journey into adulthood. We go through the labyrinth for our 59th episode.

Weapons, wormholes and womb goo. We put a seminal sci-fi classic under the scalpel for our 58th episode.

Mead, Monsters and Myths. We put a Beowolf adaptation and box office bomb starring Antonio Banderas on the slab for our 57th episode.

A dodgy poker game, antique shotguns and copious amounts of ganja, yeah? We put the gangster film that launched more than a few careers on the marble slab for our 56th episode.

For our 55th episode we put this beloved sci-fi classic on the slab.

As a small tribute to Sir Sam Neil we chose this hellish science fiction cult classic for our 54th episode. Libera te tutemet ex inferis...

For our 53th episode we take a scalpel to one of cinema's most enduring monsters via George A Romero's horror classic. (The strong female protagonist is called Francine).

Ruined dates, aggressive dogs and lots of missing children. We take our 52nd episode to Santa Carla and follow the exploits of a couple of pint sized Van Helsings.
