| All Quiet On The Western Front | 22 Aug 2023 | 01:24:19 | |

| It's Love I'm After | 22 Aug 2023 | 01:07:08 | |

| The More The Merrier | 22 Aug 2023 | 01:28:33 | |
Adam reluctantly rents out his spare room to Smokey, as they visit a film one of them hasn't seen and the other thought was something else entirely! Buckle up for huge propellors, flying trousers and a whiny weeping that'll make you...well...weep. | |||
| The Brighton Strangler | 22 Aug 2023 | 01:11:36 | |
Adam gives Smokey a bonk on the head and spends an hour explaining why this is better than Casablanca. Do you agree? Oh and never forget...Canterbury!! | |||
| Nightmare Alley | 22 Aug 2023 | 01:20:38 | |
Adam and Smokey go dark and try to read each others minds. The results are, unsurprisingly, truly terrifying. Strap yourselves in for a descent into madness and hitting rock bottom...although you do that for every episode anyway. | |||
| Footlight Parade | 22 Aug 2023 | 01:16:48 | |
Its time for Adam to strap on the tap shoes and show Smokey some moves. It's musical time! Will Adam stop gushing? Will Smokey get through the episode without committing a murder? All is revealed. Oh and a little PSA, this episode contains the friendliest Battle of the Bands...ever. | |||
| The Night Of The Hunter | 22 Aug 2023 | 01:35:19 | |

| The Man Who Knew Too Much | 22 Aug 2023 | 01:33:05 | |

| The Pearl Of Death | 22 Aug 2023 | 01:24:39 | |
Adam dons his best deerstalker, grabs his magnifying glass and pipe, to guide Smokey into the wonderful world of Sherlock Holmes. Mr Rocheholmes is still searching for clues as to why Mr Smokeywatson can't remember which episode they're on. | |||
| Out Of The Past | 22 Aug 2023 | 00:59:56 | |
Adam and Smokey settle in for some classic film noir. Is it the best of the best? The classic amongst classics? The noir-est of the noir-est? It may just produce some very surprising results. | |||
| His Girl Friday | 22 Aug 2023 | 01:13:42 | |
Adam and Smokey shift down a seat or two and welcome their favourite punk podcaster onto the sofa. Tom from Anywhere But Here and Banned Biographies, brings his wonderful beard and expensive gin and discusses something that could be very divisive. | |||
| The Leopard Man | 22 Aug 2023 | 00:56:14 | |
A little bonus episode! So, not straight into the film, a little chat first. Weather, lockdown, Aliens and Austrians are all discussed. Oh and then we get on to some bloke called Vladimir Ivanovich Hofschneider...whoever he is. | |||
| Stagecoach | 22 Aug 2023 | 01:00:35 | |

| Portrait Of Jennie | 22 Aug 2023 | 00:45:28 | |
Adam and Smokey make some room on the sofa for their favourite Celt and fellow Film Club attendee, Stacy, to watch a 'classic'. Things get sweary, impression-y and just a little bit icky. | |||
| The Devil-Doll | 22 Aug 2023 | 01:00:11 | |
Adam and Smokey bring you a unique experience of a film. One that can't be bargained with, can't be reasoned with, it doesn't feel pity or pain...hang on, what did we watch again? | |||
| The Thin Man | 22 Aug 2023 | 00:47:47 | |
