Never Take Sweets from a Stranger Jun 03, 2024

Possibly the most 'adult' film from Hammer, that we are ever likely to discuss.
This really is a tricky one.
But, we hope we can steer you through the murky waters, to truly appreciate what Hammer produced.
The subject matter is harsh, the truth is hard to hear, but it's a story that needed telling.
To help the uninitiated decide if this is for them?

A New Year Thank You Jan 04, 2024

To kick off 2024, we just wanted to say a huge thank you to each and every one of you that listens to The House of Hammer.And for anyone who’s considering upgrading to or signing up for the Hidden Room tier, a little snippet of what you could be enjoying...
Please note: this was meant to go out at the end of 2023...but we forgot. So we've just re-edited all mention of Christmas and 2023 out of it. BECAUSE WE'RE THAT PROFESSIONAL.

The Office Party: 2023 Dec 22, 2023

It's more a bad habit at the moment than an actual tradition, but we're going with it...
Here's our end of year wind up and wind down all at once that features monkeys, trousers, Middlesborough, Numan and as much silliness as you'd expect from the office party although we did at least keep Smokey away from the photocopier this time.

Up & Further Up The Creek Dec 11, 2023

Our final episode of 2023 is a bumper double header!
It's a 2-4-1 comedic naval extravaganza (the best kind of extravaganza) as Ben takes you firstly Up The Creek and then, despite whatever objections you may have, continues to take you Further Up The Creek.
Yes, not one but two farcical frigates full of fiddlers.
Speaking of which, Cev's talking about the other British comedies of 1958, Smokey explains it all (well, one thing about people from Liverpool) and we've got an interview with a very special guest.
It's enough to float your boat. Hopefully.

In this episode, Cev is literally your guide around the mountains of Tibet which is a really poor decision as he gets lost halfway through a sentence. Luckily, or not so luckily, Smokey and Ben are here as well to chat about Nigel Kneale and mythical creatures if we all end up lost. There's also chat about film squishing and Forrest Tucker to boot!

Quatermass 2 (Enemy From Space) Sep 25, 2023

There's a whiff of ammonia in the air as Ben guides you around the house this time, and it's not his aftershave. So he claims.
We take a look at the first ever film ever to have a number 2 in the title to indicate it was a follow-up. Ever. Professor Quatermass is back to face another would-be alien invasion, and if anything he's even more grumpy as he was the last time. And he has good reason. Because the space wibblies are much bigger this time...
Also, Cev talks gas masks and Smokey's on location. Sort of.

We leave the horror behind, briefly, to get into the trenches, with The Steel Bayonet.

Is the film a hidden gem or should it remain in the past?

We’re off to The clink. The cooler. The slammer. The big house. We’re going up the river. And various other assorted synonyms. Because the subject of this episode is Hammer’s 1956 prison drama ‘Women Without Men’ AKA 'Blonde Bait'. And for once, that AKA in the middle is rather significant.Cev explains why, Smokey escapes pokey and Ben's on hosting duties (and 1950's vitamins...)

But, just who is Robin Hood? Why Was King Richard the way he was and just why is archery so darned painful?!
