BONUS: Cardboard Cinema Club has been sitting around not doing much for a wee bit (due to Adam being too busy for two podcasts), so for a bit of a Halloween bonus, here's the very first episode for anyone who missed it.

In this exciting* first episode of Cardboard Cinema Club, Adam is joined by Alex Pearson to chat about the classic 1981 John Landis horror-comedy, An American Werewolf In London. A naked American man stole their balloons - and they never did get the £2 they were promised - but they've vowed to plough on regardless like the troupers they are.

Previous Episode

RETROTUBE OBSCURIOS: Apaches & The Finishing Line (1977) with Evelyn Mars

Content Warning: This is a chat about the strange and dark world of 1970s British Public Information Films, which deal with child safety, specifically the consequences of playing in farmyards and on railway lines, so there's discussion of fictional child deaths throughout.

It's Halloween month, and this episode Adam is joined by the wonderful Evelyn Mars. Evelyn's an American born in the late 1980s, so what will she make of horrifying British Public Information Films of the 1970s?

BONUS: Another Halloweeny repost from Cardboard Cinema Club! Huazzah!

We broach the 21st Century for the first time, as Adam is joined by actual real-life Canadian* Shannon Fay - author of Innate Magic and External Forces - to discuss the infinitely rewatchable horror-comedy (or comedy-horror), Shaun of the Dead.
