About this listen

Love war movies? So do we. Authors Robert Hutton and Duncan Weldon, banned from watching war films by their families, meet in their secret basement to discuss why the navy don't simply sail round the other side of Navarone, and why everyone is too old in Saving Private Ryan. Each week, a different film, sometimes brought along by a guest.


What will win the Broadsword Radio Prize For The Most Implausible Moment?

Who will take the Cooler King Award For Most Gratuitous American?

And what gets the coveted Dam Busters Dog Prize For Most Problematic Moment?


The podcast formerly known as A Pod Too Far.

    Under Siege - with Joe Twyman
    Jan 8 2026

    "I'm just a lowly cook." To mark Arrow Video's release of Under Siege in 4K UHD, we're watching the indisputable high point of Steven Seagal's career for the first time since we were teenagers. Will the bit we remember still be in there? Is his acting still terrible? Has there ever been stronger competition for the Dam Buster's Dog Prize For Most Problematic Moment? Joining us is Joe Twyman of DeltaPoll, to explain why you really have to be a 14-year-old boy in 1993 to appreciate this film.


    Next week, a proper war movie: we're watching The Cockleshell Heroes.

    A Few Good Men - with Hadley Freeman
    Jan 1 2026

    You want answers? You think you're entitled? You can't handle the truth! This week we're marking the death of Rob Reiner by watching the closest thing he made to a war movie: A Few Good Men. Was Tom Cruise ever snappier? Was Jack Nicholson ever shoutier? How many of those medals did any of the characters deserve?


    Joining Rob is Hadley Freeman, Sunday Times journalist, author, and interviewers of everyone who made a film in the 80s.


    Next week, we're enlisting the aid of a Playboy model to retake our ship, as we watch Under Siege.

    Bedknobs and Broomsticks - with James Kettle
    Dec 25 2025

    What could be more Christmassy, or more war-y, than Angela Lansbury punching Nazis? This week, we're off down Portobello Road and away under the briny sea as we watch the Disney classic war movie-witchcraft crossover Bedknobs and Broomsticks. We're joined by comedy writer James Kettle, whose hits include The Life I Lead, a play about Bedknobs actor James Tomlinson.


    Next week, in memory of Rob Reiner, we're watching A Few Good Men.
