Something a bit different for your lugholes this time - we are joined by the lovely Dave Taylor from 20th Century Flicks! Dave joins us to talk through our picks for the year of our Lord 1991 - the year in which Russ turned 3 which makes Toby feel extremely old. Dave runs (he claims) the oldest still-running video shop in THE WORLD. He also runs the Kino jukebox cinema and projects at the abandoned IMAX in Bristol Aquarium, among many other Bristolian film-based activities! A true jewel in Bristol's

We are BACK IN BUSINESS people - or for an alternative film reference you could say we're BACK IN THE HABIT or perhaps even STRIKING BACK (that could be Empire or Jay & Silent Bob, listener's choice). We've been away while Russ joined the Dad Club, making this episode the first offering in a glorious new era of Dad Pod Broadcasting. And what better Father's Day gift than to be forced to listen to three tired Dads talking at you about films they like. Hey, at least you'll learn something, this is

103 years have passed between the screening of these films, and you listening to three men you don't know talk about them. Incredible. This week we're all about the early days of cinema. We're talking white cultural tourism, we're talking the birth of horror, we're talking the Kuleshov Effect. As ever, please direct any thoughts, notes, opinions and tellings off to comments@yearofthefilm.com Thanks for listening! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we're going way back into the mists of time...five years before the iPhone 1...to a land that narrowly escaped destruction at the hands of the Y2K bug. Yes, it's 2002, the year that catapulted The Rock to stardom as the worst CGI scorpion man ever. As ever we've got a fantastic selection of films to chew over, along with regular features Industry Corner (which will become relevant at some point, presumably), a whirlwind update of what was rockin' the film industry in 2002, and of course

If it feels like it needs it.We're back to the swinging sixties this week, with all the usual features you know and (presumably?) love, as well as a couple of new bells and whistles that Toby got for Christmas.For comments, questions, film suggestions and whatever else comes to mind, get in touch at comments@yearofthefilm.comFollow us on Letterboxd at

1970, what a year. The beginning of the biggest decade of filmmaking (according to Toby), the birth of the blockbuster (according to Toby), the year film changed forever (according to Toby), and oh! Look at that. Toby's birth year, what a coincidence. Warning: contains one instance of a failed gameshow format and brief questionable musical content.

Well here we are, our trusty friend the Spin Doctor is back on side, and has gifted us none other than his own birth year! And what an all-over-the-place selection of films we have this week. From Thewlisocalypse to Sly Stallone's innovative arms-only climbing technique, join us in 1993 for another selection of historical wonders.

You stop anyone on the street and ask them to list the Oscar winners from 1955 and they'll have gotten all the way to The Bridges at Toko-Ri before you can say 'please'.

Aliens, Top Gun, Short Circuit, HIGHLANDER for goodness sake! A massive year for film, and apparently an even more massive year for Toby, though he won't say why. And the revelation that, as all serious film podcasters know, the mark of quality is not the depth of your knowledge or how many films you've seen, it's just how many can you mention in passing within 90 minutes. By that metric, this is top drawer stuff.Get in touch! comments@yearofthefilm.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for

Roll up, roll up, and prepare your earholes for a shambolic journey through the history of film, with Toby Little, Greg Marsh and Russell Bailey. Every week we are handed a randomly generated year in filmmaking history, and attempt to sound intelligent talking about it. And mostly fail!
