Never Take Sweets from a Stranger Jun 03, 2024

Show notes

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?

The Man Who Could Cheat Death Apr 22, 2024

Show notes

Everlasting life - the dream of man and AA battery alike.
We have a look at Hammer's 1959 take on the perils of immortality, as Anton Diffring stars as Dr Georges Bonnet - a remarkably youthful-looking 104 year-old man with a terrible secret...
Ben overcomes oral complications to host the episode, Adam leads the discussions, Cev talks immortality (not at all borne from personal experience) and Smokey takes a good, long look at Hazel Court...
