Austin Butler in a crime comedy from the director of Black Swan, Mother! and Requiem for a Dream? That couldn't possibly work... could it? (Warning: contains spoilers for major plot developments.)

Blue Box 193: The Wholloween Challenge

Doctor Who is back, and this time it's just for Christmas - or is it? We try to get to the bottom of yesterday's announcement countering the premature death notices for RTD's Doctor Who

Film Club 75: Jordan Peele

When we discovered that Zack Snyder and James Gunn, the two titans of DC, were both credited on the 2004 remake of George Romero's Dawn of the Dead, we just had to investigate. And then when we noticed that the creator of the Final Destination franchise had also been partly responsible for the remake of follow-up Day of the Dead four years later, we decided to watch that one too.

Film Club Duets 34: Remakes of the Dead

Ron Howard's latest is set among German colonists on the Galapagos Islands between the wars of the last century, with Sydney Sweeney, Ana de Armas and Vanessa Kirby (not to mention Jude Law) falling out in the Equatorial sun. What could possibly go wrong?

Film Club Extra: Eden

Philip Hinchcliffe might have suggested that Mary Whitehouse was "somewhat over-hysterical", but Barry Letts admitted that when she complained about Doctor Who, the viewing figures went up. So was the temptation in the mid-1970s to push the series too far in order to attract viewers? And how far is too far?

Blue Box 191: Notorious Karn

Ian Fleming's debut novel Casino Royale has been adapted for the screen three times, in wildly different versions. After having spoken about the other two, we decided it was time to take a look at the first, a live US TV play broadcast while the novel was barely off the press.

TV Club 86: Climax! Casino Royale

The star of Four Weddings, the writer of Andor, Carrie from Sex and the City, the director of Seven Up! and Gene Hackman - not to mention produced by Elizabeth Hurley - is quite the line-up of talent. Can Extreme Measures live up to its promise?

Film Club Lite 87: Extreme Measures (1996)

The randomiser brings us to Earth in 2164 (or so), exactly-ish two centuries in the future after a plague has wiped out the majority of the population of the planet and it's almost like WWII never stopped happening. But will the BBC manage to convey all this from the confines of a little TV studio?
