Episode 025: Against the Wall (1994)

So sometimes we end up watching a serious movie on the BWB Film Club podcast. On this week's episode, we will be taking a look at a film about the Attica Prison riot.

Episode 019: Take Me Out To the Ball Game (1949)

You know those movies that people describe as "musicals for people who don't like musicals"? This film may be the opposite of that.

What do James Bond and Sherlock Holmes have in common? Nothing, you say? Well not so fast, because apparently they do, in as much as Roger Moore has played them both.

Episode 010: Shock (1946)

A lot of Vincent Price films are at least visually shocking. So it seems a bit of a shame that they have chosen one of his least shocking films to get the title Shock. And yes, I appreciate that it has to do with a different plot point in the film. But still, you couldn't have thrown in at least one floating skull somewhere? Oh well, tune in and see if this was enough for us to avoid a recommendation on our latest episode. Recommendation: Glenn: Kung Fu Hustle (2004 film) Sarah: Holes (2003 fil...

004: Rescue From Gilligan's Island (1978)

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale of three podcast castaways trying to make sense of a film starring everyone's favorite actual castaways. All credit to Gilligan's Island that a show that had only ran for three seasons and had ended over ten years earlier was still popular enough to warrant a film. Not just one film, but three! Sure they were made for television, but still! But is goodwill enough for us to recommend actually watching it? Tune in a find out! Recommendations: Josh: John ...
