    Aliens - with Brian Raftery
    Sep 18 2025

    Is this going be a bug hunt, or a stand-up fight? Rob is joined by Brian Raftery to talk about James Cameron's 1986 magnificent take on the Alien universe. Has there ever been a better sequel? Is it really a Vietnam allegory? And after all that time in hyper-sleep, shouldn't Ripley's savings be worth more?


    Next week, it's Cold War countdown Zero Hour.

  • Memphis Belle - both of them

    Memphis Belle - both of them
    Sep 11 2025

    Rob and Duncan have done their job for Uncle Sam. Now they're podcasting for themselves. This week we're watching the 1990 movie Memphis Belle and the 1944 documentary that inspired it: The Memphis Belle: A Story of a Flying Fortress. Is the crew going to finish its 25th mission? Which of them will go on to save Frodo? And would Eric Stoltz have had a better career if he'd realised Back To The Future was a comedy?


    Next week, we're watching Aliens.

  • Platoon - with Hugo Rifkind

    Platoon - with Hugo Rifkind
    Sep 4 2025

    An obsessed director, a cast of unknowns, and a country on the brink of revolution. Somehow these ingredients produced one of the great Vietnam movies. Hugo Rifkind of The Times goes further, making the case that Platoon is the greatest Vietnam movie of them all.


    Hugo's novel "Rabbits", about a different kind of teenage battle, is now out in paperback.
