Episode 139 - American Graffiti (1973)


Stinking Pause – the movie review podcast with Scott who this week is joined by Paul for a trip back to America in 1962 with hamburgers and milkshakes, drive-ins, fast cars and some of the best rock and roll music ever created.

This episode we are joining Ron Howard and Richard Dreyfus with Wolfman Jack playing the tunes as we rock around the clock with American Graffiti (1973) – directed by George Lucas

“You’re the most beautiful, exciting thing I’ve ever seen in my life and I don’t know anything about you”

In the twilight of innocence, and against the backdrop of early-1960s Modesto, California, four school friends--Curt, Steve, John, and Terry--bid farewell to their carefree lives as teenagers, on the last evening of summer break. Over the course of one long and hot September night, the long-time companions on the brink of adulthood will take their first steps into the real life; experience the powerful feelings of desire, disappointment, and love--and, ultimately--see the world in a different light. Pivoting around Mel's bright Drive-In, and Wolfman Jack's non-stop Rock 'n' Roll disc-jockey show, the boys cruise the town's colourful streets in their beautiful cars, as an elusive blonde vision in a white 1956 Ford Thunderbird contributes to the excitement of this very special night. However, when morning comes, nothing will ever be the same again.

Episode 137 - Mr Smith Goes To Washington (1939)


Stinking Pause – the movie review podcast with Scott who this week is joined by his Reel Britannia co-host, Steven to discuss one of Frank Capra and James Stewart’s finest movies.

It’s back to what many see as the greatest year in Hollywood history….1939. The year that brought us Gone With The Wind, The Wizard of Oz, Ninotchka, Stagecoach, Goodbye Mr Chips and today’s featured movie, Mr Smith Goes To Washington.

Naïve and idealistic Jefferson Smith, leader of the Boy Rangers, is appointed to the United States Senate by the puppet governor of his state. He soon discovers, upon going to Washington, many shortcomings of the political process as his earnest goal of a national boys’ camp leads to a conflict with the state political boss.
