Manage episode 521087916 series 3676384
Welcome to 'Matinee To Midnight' - a podcast for big screen enthusiasts.
For episode 12, Simon and Matthew unveil the first star for a director in the Roundhay Garden Cinema's "Alley of Glory" - for the one of a kind, Paul Verhoeven. Following a discussion on his life and career, Simon and Matthew programme and discuss three movies each from a director whose films are never far away from controversy.
***
On this show, Simon and Matthew, the co-proprietors of the fictional 2-screen repertory cinema, 'The Roundhay Garden', will be discussing and recommending movies built around a particular topic.
The topic could be a genre, an actor, an actress, a director, a year in movie history or any other theme that comes to mind.
And they will each be choosing movies from the topic to programme at the cinema to fill the schedule - a 'Matinee' movie, a 'Prime Time' movie, and a 'Midnight Movie'.
This is a film recommendation show, but the movies Simon and Matthew choose to discuss are not necessarily their favourite films on a subject. They are the films that they feel are interesting and worthy of discussion - and best fit into these programming slots.
