Sequel Season #1 - “The way I see it, someone’s out to make a sequel. You know, cash in on all the movie murder hoopla. So it’s our job to observe the rules of the sequel.”

We’re back! Silver Screen Podcast (regular flavour) returns for 2026 and — well — do you like scary movies? I sure hope so. What’s your favourite scary movie? If you said Showgirls, then you’ll be right at home with this deep-dive review of slasher sequel Scream 2. We’re covering this film for two reasons: firstly, to tie in with the imminent release of Scream 7, and secondly to serve as a soft launch for our brand-new Silver Screen “Sequel Season.” This is essentially our pilot, but if all goes well we’ll be back later in the year to take a closer look at even more film follow-ups. Hopefully you’ll stick with us — but for now, it’s back to Windsor College… Regular host and podcast supremo Michael (or should that be Mickey?) is joined by two great guests to analyse the carnage candy. First up is returning guest — and first-time viewer — Tobi. We’re also joined by first-time guest Kevin, fellow Scream aficionado and horror podcaster. Together, our terrifying trio discuss their first impressions of the film, its personal and cultural legacy, what works (and what doesn’t) in the writing and post-modern commentary, Wes Craven’s masterful directing touch, and how this sequel stacks up against the iconic original. We also play detective along with the movie itself, diving into behind-the-scenes drama including spoiler leaks, script rewrites, and rushed schedules. Along the way we discuss the returning and new cast, our favourite characterisations, some iconic (and criminally underused) guest cameos, the gore factor, and much more. As always, we conclude with audience thoughts, a brief round-up of critical response, and our own conclusions and scores. So grab your popcorn, cover your ears if you go to the bathroom, pause your debates about James Cameron sequels, and strap in as we take another stab at analysing this killer franchise.

"It's bullshit generalization. Many sequels have surpassed their originals."

D.K's Cult Classics Episode 47 - "What would you say you do here...?"

It's February, the most depressing month of the year, so it's apt that this episode DK and the gang are looking at the Mike Judge comedy Office Space. Make sure you have your stapler handy and join DK, Nick and Rob as they clock-watch, nineties style. And don't forget your TPS reports!

Series 2, Episode 1 - “We are equipped to survive. We are only interested in survival. Anything else is of no importance.

Welcome back, faithful friends, to a brand new series of Hit or Miss: Doctor Who. Things are getting decidedly chilly as we head to Snowcap Base in the South Pole — and into our first examination of the cold, brutal logic of the chilling Cybermen. D.K. is your host, guiding our podcast party through the debut appearance of the menacing cyborgs in a hugely important story that also just happens to feature the first ever regeneration. Joining D.K is regular co-host Michael Wilson. We’re also delighted to welcome two first-time guests with plenty of experience of their own — Stephen and Lynn. Before the main review, D.K. lightly interrogates our guests on introductions to the Whoniverse, favourite stories and personal best Cyberman appearances. Then it’s the return of the Hit or Miss segment. Our intrepid crew then jumps into the main review, navigating those all-important firsts, examining the animated fourth episode, critiquing Hartnell’s final regular performance, and rating the companions and guest cast. They discuss whether the Cybermen make a strong first impression, the pacing and limitations of 60s television, Hartnell’s unfortunate absence from Episode Three, and a whole lot more than you can shake a Z-bomb at. As always, we wrap up with audience thoughts, our own conclusions, and final scores. So grab your radiation rods, keep your eyes on the skies as you hit play — and for goodness’ sake, keep warm. Yes… got to keep warm.
