Advertise on podcast: The Sound of The Picture House

Welcome to a new season with Kevin and Mike, season three no less. This season is all about the 1970's and two podcasts a month, two from each year. If any film signaled the dividing line between swinging London and the 70's it's Donald Cammell Nic Roeg's still startling and unsettling film Performance. We introduce the 1970's when Kevin was a tiny 8 years old and mike barely a twinkle in his Father's eye. Then dive into the drug fuled hedonism in Pows Square. This is going to be fun. Please join in!

With the 4k Reissue of T2 Mike and Kevin get naked and travel back in time to 1991. Fortunately no video of that exsists. Greatest action movie ever or a load of old guff. You decide.

Showing in 35mm this month at The Atrium in East Grinstead. A real treat. DeNiro, Pacino, Kilmer, Natalie Portman. What's not to get to get thrilled about? LA is the star and Michael Mann knows how to shoot her. Mike and Kevin square up over the coffee shop table to discuss.

Kevin and Mike travel back to 1992. Kevin seems uncertain about his age and we exchange shots about arguably one of the best films of all time and certainly one of the best westerns of all time, Unforgiven. So, please forgive us as we ramble and delve into this great film for your listening pleasure. Or something.

Kevin and Mike delve into Clouzot's sweaty and tense 1953 classic The Wages of Fear. Frankly, I'm exhausted just thinking about it. Do drop us a line at [email protected]. We'd love to hear from you.

Like outlaws on the run we finally get caught and publish a new episode. Ridley Scott's massively entertaining road movie from 1991is the subject, so two old white blokes talk about a popular feminist movie. Not ideal, but bear with us, I think we do it justice. Let us know what you think [email protected].

Mike and Kevin delve into Kane, and take a look at 1941, so long ago even Kevin wasn't born, but we do talk about his dad's favourite film and the nightmare of British Quota. Do join in. Now also on Youtube. Proving we both have a good face for radio.

Join us on the dark and dangerous streets  of East London during the reign of Victoria as we delve into David Lynch's classic The Elephant Man. This podcast was recorded while we had bags over our heads for added authenticity.

Kevin and Mike give it the old waffle as we discuss our favourite films of 2025. Do they match yours? You will have to listen to find out. Hint: The Smurfs don't make an apperance.

A treat for Christmas (yeah, I know it's technically Thanksgiving, but that's in the colonies.) Kevin and Mike share the joy and sadness of peak John Hughes and peak John Candy. It's not the destination it's the journey.

Finally! Kevin and Mike take on Leone's "masterpiece" western and don't always see eye to eye. So narrow your eyes menacingly and make dubbed grunting noises as we travel back to 1968ish. This is a good one. Honest.

It's Haloween! Kevin and Mike take a good look, through their fingers, at Richard Donner's rather excellent 1976 thriller, horror. Lots to discuss, not least the casting coup that is Hollywood legend Gregory Peck, severed heads and scary doggies. Take journey to the dark side. Please.

Mike and Kevin dig into Raiders of the Lost Ark. Let's face it one of the greatest action adventure films of all time. Mike fanboys all over the place and Kevin does a terrible Mark Cousins impression. We also delve into 1981, and the fast approaching nadir of the UK cinema industry. Any other podcast means you are digging in the wrong place.

Kevin and Mike join the Jaws at 50 celebrations and dive into the film that is possibly year zero for movies. They also take a good hard stare at 1975, one of the greatest years for cinema. Exept for British cinema, which was mostly rubbish.

Restored in all of the K's, Kubrick's "coffee table book of a film" is as magisterial as ever and demands to be seen on the big screen. Kevin and Mike are back with some searing insights.* As well as a peek at what's coming up in the new big screen season.  *may not be true.
