November. Cold, damp, and once you’re past the Halloween/Bonfire Night twofer, there’s nothing to look forward to until Christmas. Oh well, let’s go to the pictures.

Clive and Rob are joined by film-maker Simon Aitken, who braves the 50 Second Flash Film Challenge. We consider the vexed question of remakes, reboots and *shudder* re-imaginings, and the Dice Of Fate is pointing us at music blogs.

Grab yourself a pumpkin spice latte and snuggle in!

The October Speakeasy: Comics Special!

speakeasylogo October

THE OCTOBER SPEAKEASY: COMICS SPECIAL!

We love comics. We read comics. And in this edition of the Speakeasy, we talk about comics. At length.

We review the best new books that The Dice Of Fate allowed us to look at in Spetember, and take an extensive look at the career and works of Frank Miller: the good, the bad and the very, very ugly.

Plus we amp up the geeky with a D100 and generally do what we do. Read along, whydoncha?

Hootin’ Holleration! It’s the Funnybook edition of the X&HT Speakeasy!

A few bits of housekeeping: in an attempt to bump our professionalism quotient up from  “endearingly ramshackle” to “barely competent” we are now available on iTunes! Click here to subscribe, and have our dulcet tones lick at your eardrums whenever you choose. 

As a knockon from that, and in an attempt to keep the cashflow out of Hosepipe-ville, we’re moving away from Soundcloud. This blog is now the home of the Speakeasy, and we’ll be migrating the earlier shows into a cohesive archive in the immediate future. Hope you like our new direction.

The August Speakeasy: Let’s Talk Film!

20130809-084758.jpg

 

In the August Speakeasy, Rob and Clive are talking film. A lot. It’s our longest podcast ever and it’s jampacked full of goodness!

In our Fifty Second Flash Film Fest, we cram nine film reviews into under 8 minutes.

Clive gives us the lowdown on no-budget film-making, and shares some behind the scenes stories on his latest short, Acceptance.

Of course, we have all the recommendations for movies to see this month, and a heads-up for the greatest horror film festival on the planet: Frightfest!

As ever, if you have any comments or suggestions, let us know. Let’s keep the love flowing in both directions. Rivers of love. Tidal in nature.
