Metrospective Part 1

Season 2 · Episode 1

Monday, October 13, 2025 • Duration 57:27

We're back! After three years plus, the Cine Lit team have reconvened to resurrect the podcast for a very special season of recordings. This new season entltled Metrospective explores the film programming history of Derby's Metro Cinema (1981 - 2008) to coincide with a new exhibition dedicated to the cinema in QUAD's Montage Gallery.

Head of Film Adam Marsh is joined by Film Historian and We Belong Dead magazine editor (and former Metro Cinema customer) Darrell Buxton to explore the history of the cinema, the films that were being programmed in 1980, 1990s, and 2000's arthouse cinemas and how these programmes reflect on modern programming.

Join us for this bumper first episode as we take a deep dive in the state of cinema in the UK in the late 1970s, early 1980s, the star power of actors such as Jack Nicholson, Marilyn Monroe, James Cagney and Liv Ullman, Darrell's memories of Hell's Angels, Surrealist Cinema and the power of a great late show!

From Metro to QUAD: A Derby Story exhibition runs in QUAD's Montage Gallery from 27th September 2025 - 11th January 2026.

Great Movie Endings

Episode 69

Tuesday, September 6, 2022 • Duration 01:00:23

The End Is Nigh! Well, for Cine-Lit it is at least. For this final episode in an almost three-year run, including over 70 podcasts on a crazy range of subjects, we are bringing the curtain down on Cine-Lit. But we couldn't go out with a whimper when we could go out with a bang. Adam and Darrel sit down and talk about Great Movie Endings. And of course, with a great movie ending, there is always the possibility of a great movie resurrection...

Fletch / Fletch Lives

Episode 60

Tuesday, May 24, 2022 • Duration 43:45

With the surprising news that Jon Hamm is starring in a new Fletch film, we thought now was as good a time as any to take a look at this interesting character.

Adam and Darrell are joined by Director (and 80s Film enthusiast) Dominic Burns to explore the origins of Fletch. From the novels by Gregory McDonald through to the hit movie Fletch (1985) starring Chevy Chase and the less successful sequel Fletch Lives (1989).

Hammer Horror - Unmade Hammer Part 2

Episode 59

Tuesday, May 10, 2022 • Duration 51:23

Cine-Lit continues its adventures in "What If" country as we explore the unmade Hammer projects that were announced, mooted and, in some cases, scripted films, but that languish in the might-have-been archives. In this instalment, we look at the various attempts to bring more vampires back to Hammer with proposed new Count Dracula adventures, an unconventional biopic of Bram Stoker, and attempts to bring to the screen one of the most famous vampires from the world of comics. Also, we talk about the pitch and poster to bring Scotland's most infamous aquatic monster Nessie to the big screen.

Hammer Horror - Unmade Hammer Part 1

Episode 58

Tuesday, April 26, 2022 • Duration 44:40

After covering the Count from Transylvania and Mary Shelley's monstrous creation, Cine-Lit once again cracks open the vault of horror from that most British of institutions, Hammer Films. This time we venture into parts unknown, into a multiverse of Hammer as we discuss a range of much-muted but never completed Hammer productions. In this instalment we discuss an unmade fourth Dick Barton, a non-Nigel Kneale Quatermass, a Richard Matheson scripted I Am Legend, a return to Denis Wheatley's world of the occult, Zeppelins Vs. Pterodactyls and a Hammer take on Cinema's biggest star, King Kong.

What The Dickens? - David Lean's Dickens

Episode 56

Tuesday, March 22, 2022 • Duration 57:48

David Lean is one of Britain's most celebrated filmmakers, the master of the epic with such classics as Bridge On The River Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago. But ever the contrarians, Cine-Lit heads back before Lean started to go epic with a pair of films based on the works of Charles Dickens that are among the best ever adapted for film. Adam, Darrell and Rebecca take a closer look at Great Expectations (1946) and Oliver Twist (1948).
