This week it’s a double bill of Failsafe (1964) and 12 Angry Men (1957) showcasing the immense talent of director Sidney Lumet.
The team discuss the lasting impact of Failsafe and ruminate how relevant this classic remains in the contemporary world. They compare it to 12 Angry Men, which whilst different in topic is similar in tone and tension. In lighter moments of the conversation there is some mirth about Rhys's quotes and what CineClub merchandise might look like….

This week we discuss the recent screening of Steamboy and the anime classic Akira. Secretly, we’re wondering if we’re anime obsessed at the moment!
Throughout the episode, we shared our mixed feelings about the English dub of both films, particularly the celebrity voice actors, and how it impacted our viewing experience. We debated the merits of watching the films in their original Japanese with subtitles versus the dubbed versions.
We reflected on the broader themes present in both films, including the commentary on post-war society and the consequences of technological advancement. We noted the recurring motif in Japanese media of nuclear annihilation and how it resonates with contemporary issues.
Our presenters are Jake, Billy, Dion and Rhys. The episode was engineered and edited by Emily Main.
Feel free to share your preferences between steampunk and cyberpunk aesthetics, and whether you would choose Ray's jetpack or Canada's bike from Akira. Email below.

In this week's episode of the Cine Club Podcast, we dive into the whimsical world of the 1965 film "Help!" directed by Richard Lester and starring none other than the Beatles themselves. In this episode, cinephiles Jake, Rhys, Matthew, and Dion all share their favourite Beatle.
We kick off the discussion by reflecting on our recent horror selections, including "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "A Bucket of Blood," before transitioning to the lighthearted absurdity of "Help!" Matthew, our resident 60s music expert, explains why he chose this film, following our previous exploration of "A Hard Day's Night." He highlights the charm and humour of both films, noting how "Help!" takes the absurdity to new heights.
