  • Blue Box 184: Chronic Hysteretics
    Aug 25 2025

    The quotes coming out of Edinburgh this week might have made it feel like we're stuck in 1989 all over again (or is that 1985?), but this is a different century now - so what did we make of the idea that the TARDIS is "going nowhere"?

    Aug 22 2025

    In this edition we're pairing up a couple of very different but equally unlikely vampires; firstly there's David Niven's urbane and terribly British Count Dracula, and then Alicia Silverstone in an undead rematch with Amy Heckerling, her director on Clueless. What can possibly go right?

  • Film Club Lite 81: Mimic (1997)
    Aug 13 2025

    After making a splash in his native Mexico with Cronos, Hollywood invited Guillermo del Toro to come and helm another in its cycle of mid-90s monster movies. The result was Mimic, but what do we think of it now?
