  • The Longest Day – with special guest Al Murray

    The Longest Day – with special guest Al Murray
    May 9 2024
    We’re back with a brand new name but the same doughty, never-say-die attitude, to watch the war movies that made us the men* we are today. Every week authors Rob Hutton and Duncan Weldon gather under the blackout curtain to view a classic war film – and now they’re joined by equally battle-fixated chums too. This time on the podcast formerly known as A Pod Too Far: Darryl F. Zanuck’s 1962 D-Day mega-epic The Longest Day with comedian, WWII buff and tank fan Al Murray. What are the best bits? Did your favourite moments really happen? Would you want to be commanded by ‘Pine Coffin’? And how much did John Wayne demand to appear in it? Up the Ox and Bucks! * and occasionally women Written and presented by Rob Hutton and Duncan Weldon. Audio production by Simon Williams. Art by Jim Parrett. Group Editor: Andrew Harrison.

  • Christmas Special: Casablanca

    Christmas Special: Casablanca
    Dec 26 2023
    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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • Stalag 17

    Stalag 17
    Dec 21 2023
    It’s Christmas 1944, and Rob Hutton and Duncan Weldon are in a muddy, frozen POW camp, dreaming of Betty Grable. But is one of them a rat? We’re watching Billy Wilder’s Stalag 17, the film that won William Holden an Oscar and may have inspired the sitcom Hogan’s Heroes. Comedy? Drama? Escape movie? Or a mix of all three?
