Episodes

  • Spooky season continues on The Brum Picture Show this week as we delve into the topic of true crime on film!

    We’ll be discussing our favourite true crime inspired films, society’s obsession with grisly murders, and Hollywood’s history of turning tragedy into entertainment.

    Alongside a disproportionate number of references to Mark Ruffalo, we’ll also be reviewing Netflix’s latest true crime inspired thriller Woman of the Hour, so this is set to be an episode to die for!

  • Screen B14 and Another Bite of the Cherry are teaming up to screen A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, an Iranian Vampire Western, so we thought we’d sink our teeth into the subject of movie vampires this week!

    We’ll be covering over 100 years of vampires in cinema, from the grotesque and gnarly to the glittery and well groomed.

    We'll be choosing our favourite fanged foes in film and discussing a selection of new releases including the latest big screen Stephen King adaptation, Salem’s Lot, so this episode is set to be lots of fun!

  • It’s the 25th episode of The Brum Picture Show! We thought we’d celebrate this momentous occasion by not mentioning the recently released Joker: Folie à Deux, not even in passing.

    We will however be discussing our favourite Anti-heroes in films, the morally dubious protagonists of the big screen who we love to hate, or hate to love.

    We’ll be discussing the psychology of why we’re enamoured by ethically questionable characters, and whether or not Despicable Me constitutes high art.

    We’ll also be debuting our new pioneering rating system, the “Brums Up”, to mark this milestone episode. We’ll be implementing said system during our reviews of Strange Darling, The Substance, and Megalopolis, so this episode is set to be Megalols!

  • The spooky season is on its way, so on this week’s show we thought we’d talk about everyone’s favourite frizzy-haired Disney animator turned goth poster-boy, Tim Burton.

    We’ll be discussing films from his illustrious career, from the nightmarish in a good way to the nightmarish in a bad way (we’re looking at you Alice in Wonderland).

    Alongside our usual movie news and reviews, we’ll also be performing a bit of dark magic in order to summon the elusive Brum Picture Show presenter Rory, so this is sure to be a hair-raising episode indeed!

  • Screen B14 and The Mockingbird Cinema are teaming up again to screen Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters, so we thought we’d discuss its director this week. That’s right, it’s Hollywood’s favourite controversial Uncle, Paul Schrader!

    Whilst perhaps most famous for bringing the world Taxi Driver and American Gigolo, he has had a prolific career which we’ll be shining a spotlight on this week, ranging from sublime films to ridiculous ones.

    We’ll also be discussing his no-nonsense forays into online film criticism, so if you’ve ever wondered what Uncle Paul thinks of 2012’s Rock of Ages, be sure to tune in!

  • In space, no one can hear Nadine and Paul discuss the Alien franchise in excruciating detail. But on Brum radio, everyone can! In this very special bumper episode, we’ll be taking a deep-dive into one of the most beloved yet divisive franchises of all time.

    We’ll be discussing problematic pre-productions, difficult directors, and confusing chronologies in an episode with a galaxy of fascinating factoids and controversial opinions to delight or enrage you depending on your point of view.

    This isn’t just one for the nerds though, as we’ll also be talking about more terrestrial matters such as Jake Gyllenhaal’s shorts. So even if you don’t know your xenomorphs from your facehuggers, this episode will have something for you!

  • On this week’s show, to celebrate Screen B14 and The Mockingbird Cinema’s screening of Gaspar Noé’s cinematic bad trip, Enter the Void, we’ll be taking a magical

    mystery tour through psychedelic cinema.

    From the colourful, to the wacky, to the downright disturbing, we’ll be discussing a kaleidoscopic array of films to take your mind off reality, from Dumbo to Eraserhead.

    We’ll also have an update on Nadine’s time in the land of Oz, and Rory will be going on a little trip of his own, so this episode is set to be a journey through time and space that you’ll be having flashbacks to for years!

  • On this week’s show, to celebrate the release of tornado-based blockbuster Twisters, we’re going to be talking about disaster movies!

    Prepare for a whirlwind of fascinating facts as we discuss the history of the genre, the fetishisation of destruction on screen, and what would happen if Godzilla came to Birmingham.

    We’ll also be welcoming back an old Brum Picture Show colleague, Rory, so this is set to be an even more disastrous episode than usual!

  • On this week’s show we’ll be partying like it’s 1999! To celebrate Screen B14’s upcoming screening of Buena Vista Social Club we’ll be discussing other films released in the final year of the 20th century. Is it just a random year or one of the best and most culturally significant years in movie history?


    Alongside even more movie donkey news (due to popular demand), we’ll also have reviews of some new releases. Will these modern films affirm the notion that things were better in the olden times? Tune in to find out!

  • With the release of The Watched, directed by Ishana Night Shyamalan, daughter of M. Night, we thought we’d take a look at nepotism in the movie world this week.

    We’ll be getting all serious for once and discussing why the prevalence of Nepo babies in Hollywood is such a problem for those from a less privileged background trying to break into the industry.

    But don’t worry, we’ll also have our usual frivolity, as we rank our favourite Nepo babies, and even expose secret ones! We also have an oddly animal based news section, including a heart-warming tale about a movie donkey. Is there such a thing as a Nepo donkey? Tune in to find out.

  • To celebrate the release of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, this week we’ll be having a battle of the Sci-Fi franchises on the Brum Picture Show!

    We’ll be discussing our favourite futuristic sagas, what a franchise actually is, and if the very existence of franchises represents the death of originality in popular culture.

    We’ll also be attempting to break the world record for the number of times the word “ape” is uttered in a podcast, so don’t monkey around, be sure to tune in!

  • To celebrate the release of Alex Garland’s new film Civil War, we thought it would be appropriate to discuss civil war films on this week’s show. This unfortunately turned into a civil war amongst the Brum Picture Show team as we debated whether civil war films are a genre, and what a civil war actually is.

    Alongside deep dives into Apocalypse Now, Michael Collins, and A Field in England, we'll also be pitting the spookily similar nun-based horror films Immaculate and The First Omen against each other in an entirely different kind of conflict, a battle of the nuns.

  • To tie in with Screen B14’s upcoming screening of Poor Things, we’ll be putting on our reading spectacles as we discuss literary adaptations on film. We’ll also be making spectacles of ourselves as we struggle to think of books we’ve actually read.

    Alongside some truly surprising literary picks, we’ll also have reviews of the thematically appropriate films Adaptation and Dune Part 2. So whether you’re a bookworm or a sandworm, this is an episode for you!

  • In this bonus episode we have something very special for you- an interview!

    To celebrate Screen B14 and Blow Water’s screening of the 1997 romantic comedy Peggy Su, we’ll be talking to executive producer Roger Shannon, a veteran of British independent cinema.

    Roger was kind enough to take the time to talk to us about a range of topics including the production of Peggy Su, the representation of cities on film, and even Isaac Hayes’s boxer shorts. How on earth did the conversation lead to that last subject? You’ll have to listen to find out.

    Recorded live on location at Blow Water Cafe in King’s Heath, complete with authentic background noise.

  • This week we'll be debuting a brand new feature on the show: "The Rob Reiner Test". We'll be discussing the director's top 5 films and debating how many filmmakers even come close to matching such greatness, with co-presenter Rory taking it upon himself to be the grand adjudicator of objective artistic quality.

    Alongside movie news, including an update on the fate of The Electric Cinema and Messi (the dog), we’ll also be reviewing Drive Away Dolls and the 25th anniversary re-release of Fight Club. So please feel free to break the first two rules of Fight Club and tell all your friends to listen!
