Episode 157 - Sabrina (1954)


Stinking Pause – the movie review podcast with Scott, who this week is joined by Paul and Charlie to chat about Gallic gastronomy, fractured champagne flutes and elusive olives.

It’s 1954, it’s Audrey Hepburn, it’s Humphrey Bogart, it’s William Holden….it’s a slice of classic Hollywood. Join us as we take a look at the Billy Wilder directed ‘Sabrina’.

“Chauffeur's daughter Sabrina (Audrey Hepburn) returns home from two years in Paris a beautiful young woman, and immediately catches the attention of David (William Holden), the playboy son of her father's rich employers. David woos and wins Sabrina, who has always been in love with him, however their romance is threatened by David's serious older brother, Linus (Humphrey Bogart), who runs the family business and is relying on David to marry an heiress in order for a crucial merger to take place.”

“A woman happily in love, she burns the soufflé. A woman unhappily in love, she forgets to turn on the oven.”

Episode 156 - Trainspotting (1996)


After an absence of over fifty episodes and nearly three years the restraining order has finally been lifted.

Ladies and gentlemen…like a phoenix from the flames…yes he’s back. Join us as we welcome Charlie back into the ample bosom of the Stinking Pause family.

It’s an old school Stinking Pause episode – the original theme tune, all the old jingles, the return of Jim from Swanscombe and Six Degrees of Separation. It’s over two and a half hours long, but to be honest, there’s only about ten minutes of decent chat worth listening to.

First time listeners be warned….this is not the episode to begin your Stinking Pause journey.

Our review this episode (and boy do we make you wait before we get anywhere near it) is Trainspotting (1996), directed by Danny Boyle and starring Ewan McGregor, Johnny Lee Miller, Ewan Bremner, Robert Carlyle, Kelly MacDonald and Kevin McKidd.

‘Danny Boyle's explosive film tracks the misadventures of young men in Edinburgh trying to find their way out of joblessness, aimless relationships and drug addiction. Some are successful, while others hopelessly are not. Based on Irvine Walsh's novel, Trainspotting melds grit with poetry, resulting in a film of harsh truths and stunning grace.’
