Episode 054 - High Society and The Beguiled


It’s episode 054 of the Stinking Pause podcast. Scott’s choice of movies this week.

First up, Scott and Charlie look at the birthday movie which celebrates the centenary of Frank Sinatra’s birth….High Society from 1956. A musical also featuring Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly and Louis Armstrong along with songs from the legendary Cole Porter.

Our second movie is a Clint Eastwood movie directed by Don Siegel from 1971…The Beguiled. Not quite a western, more Southern Gothic (whatever that may be ?).

We are also pleased to include audio feedback from Jim, one half of The Film Thugs and his account of his meeting with the legend that is James Ellroy.

There is also a welcome return to Mark from The Good The Bad and the Odd podcast and his thoughts on both of the movies that we are reviewing in this episode.

Episode 053 - Jules et Jim


Episode 053 – a special mini episode before we release our main feature later this week.

Scott and Charlie present their views on what many regard as a true classic in the French Wave genre of movies, Francois Truffaut’s ‘Jules et Jim’.

We are reviewing this movie as part of a celebration of our collaboration with the Rochester Kino Cinema Club where we are now screening classic foreign language movies at The World Cinema Club in Chatham.

Let’s just say that we found this one a tough watch.

Please feel free to pass on your views and comments on the movie via email or mp3 to thestinkingpause@gmail.com   We would love to hear any thoughts from our listeners telling us that we have underestimated this French masterpiece.
