Your weekend listen: lust in the dust, deceit in the desert, intrigue in Italy. That's right, we're watching The English Patient, and asking the big questions: how come Juliette Binoche can do such a good job of cutting her own hair, and exactly how long was Kristin Scott Thomas left in that cave?

Loved @lucyberesford.bsky.social’s Ralph Fiennes impression as much as Adam Buxton’s, as well as the similar take on the euphemistic picture pasting youtu.be/irEivzvZX9s

Wind! Sand! Epic romance! This week, we're wondering how Juliette Binoche managed to cut her own hair so nicely and exactly how long Kristin Scott-Thomas spent in that cave as we watch The English Patient. With special guest @lucyberesford.bsky.social

Oh no!

Noted! Thank you!

I've just finished editing and uploading this episode, and it's great fun. Proper jaw-dropping moment when you find out who the studio wanted instead of Kristin Scott-Thomas.

It's quite the range of different reactions we all had to the same thing.

They don't make Professors of Political Science like this any more...

Here is the visual prop that I helpfully brought to an audio podcast.

Weekend listen: a 1964 film about accidental nuclear war from an acclaimed director, featuring a mad scientist who plans to kill millions. That's right, it's.."Fail Safe"
Expecting something else?
An amazing film and the amazing story of its battle with Dr Strangelove. With @markpackuk.bsky.social

The Sound of Music 4K restoration carried out to mark the film’s 60th anniversary is phenomenally good - Christopher Plummer on the big screen has to be seen to believed. And you get to appreciate Robert Wise’s fantastic direction even more.

It's on the list, though the list is long.

Never heard of this. Sounds intriguing.

I think it's time for the regulators to crack down on podcast descriptions...

Oh it's been on the list for a while.

That's Rob's, too.

Aliens: a film whose production was characterised by mutual loathing James Cameron and his British crew.

Listen to War Movie Theatre wherever you get your podcasts.

Sunday afternoon push for what's becoming one of our most popular episodes: Aliens. How did a young director hated by the film crews turn a sci-fi horror into a billion-dollar franchise? Is it really all about Vietnam? And what is the most quotable line?

Wherever you get your podcasts.

That's what it's for...

That Aliens episode of @warmovietheatre.bsky.social was excellent. Even tho that @duncanweldon.bsky.social jump scare never came

Aliens Vs Dad's Army: They Don't Like It Up 'Em.

THIS IS THE STUFF.

Basically two brilliant journalist both love war movies and sit and chat about classic war films, occasionally inviting another journalist on to be bemused by them:)

It feels like something you might like if you like WE HAVE WAYS or HOW DID THIS GET MADE or REST IS HISTORY...

A podcast I enjoy - but is probably an acquired taste! - is WAR MOVIE THEATRE with @roberthutton.co.uk and @duncanweldon.bsky.social

If @warmovietheatre.bsky.social has a role in society, it's bringing together the people who played this.

Weekend listening fun!
