Film Interrupted

Jack McFarlane, Martin Lynch & Nick Eadie•filminterruptedpodcast.wordpress.com

This fortnightly podcast is a motivation for three Scottish cinefiles to meet up regularly, catch up, and talk about our favourite movies. We’ve been stockpiling material for some time now and have decided to finally take the plunge, releasing our podcast into the wider world. We’ll be posting new material regularly, not necessarily in the order it was recorded, but that shouldn’t matter as our focus is on classic and cult cinema, and only rarely mentioning new releases. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed recording it. Jack, Martin, and Nick

Das Boot (List of Shame)

Sympathetic Nazis + 5hrs of your life your never getting back = Das Boot In the latest episode of Film Interrupted, Jack and Martin make Nick suffer through the most arduous entry in his List of Shame, Wolfgang Peterson’s WWII epic ‘Das Boot’. In Nick’s defense, a 5hr movie featuring little else than pale, unwashed Germans discussing nationalism and boredom isn’t a big seller for most. But that didn’t stop Martin and Jack giving him a hard time. http://ia601005.us.archive.org/7/items/filminterru...

Gimme the Loot

In the latest episode of Film Interrupted, Jack, Martin and Nick gush over an undiscovered gem of recent years; Adam Leon’s Gimme the Loot. You would truly be surprised how easily three white, Scottish film geeks can relate to a pair of cool black teenagers from New York. If you don’t get even the slightest whiff of self delusion, you aren’t listening hard enough. http://ia801005.us.archive.org/7/items/filminterrupted/fi_ep010_GimmeTheLoot.mp3...

Scotland on Film

In this episode of Film Interrupted, Jack, Martin and Nick analyse Scotland’s contribution to the landscape of cinema. What contribution, you ask? A modest one, for sure. Nevertheless, the topic affords your hosts the perfect opportunity to discuss the influence of Scotland on their lives. From the bi-polar friendly/aggressiveness of Glasgow, to encounters with creepy strangers in Dundee, Scotland has certainly left its mark on your faithful hosts. Tune in for their group therapy session. http:/...

Rocky (List of Shame)

In the latest episode, Film Interrupted embraces the boxing mentality; chewing up and spitting out Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky in a lean, mean 45 minutes. Will Martin and Nick’s plucky enthusiasm prevail over Jack’s heavyweight cynicism? Listen in ringside to find out.

The Ways We Watch Films

In the latest episode of Film Interrupted, Jack, Martin and Nick discuss the different ways in which they watch films.

Rosemary’s Baby (List of Shame)

In the latest episode of Film Interrupted, Nick introduces Jack and Martin to horror classic Rosemary’s Baby. Things get heated when the guys debate whether we can separate an artist from his art, whether Albania has any cache in Hollywood and whether they would rather be touched by John Cassavetes or Roman Polanski. http://ia801005.us.archive.org/7/items/filminterrupted/fi_ep006_rosemarysbaby.mp3...

The Gold Rush (List of Shame)

In the latest episode of Film Interrupted, Jack, Martin and Nick discuss Charlie Chaplin’s The Gold Rush. A charming masterpiece of classical comedy cinema? Or the work of a “creepy paedo who wasn’t funny”? Listen in to find out… http://ia601005.us.archive.org/7/items/filminterrupted/fi_ep005_thegoldrush.mp3

Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter… and Spring (List of Shame)

Celebrating the spirit of Christmas with a film about Buddhism! We briefly list the few films we saw from 2013 before discussing our Christmas viewing rituals. This week on List of Shame, Martin is made to watch the meditative South Korean classic, Spring, Summer, Autumn, Fall, and Spring. The List of Shame is compiled for each host by the rest of the group. It represents a list of films from the IMDB 250 that they haven’t seen yet. http://ia601005.us.archive.org/7/items/filminterrupted/fi_ep002...

Movies That Scared Us As Kids

A discussion on all the movies from our childhood that left the deepest emotional scars, before branching off into what movies scare us as adults and the nature of being a cinephile. Disclaimer – We were totally wrong about live monkeys in Wizard of Oz! But you have to admit that would have been cool. http://ia801005.us.archive.org/7/items/filminterrupted/fi_ep001_scaredaskids.mp3
