Opening The Box – Details, episodes & analysis

Opening the Box is a revived film discussion series on Ramsgate Radio, hosted by long-time collaborators Charlie Anson (Actor) and Filipe Gomes (Audio Director). Originally a beloved segment from Ramsgate Radio's Friday Morning Show, the series returns after a four-year hiatus with a renewed focus: to dive deep into films old and new—from cult gems to mainstream classics—unpacking cinematic techniques, themes, and emotional resonance. The format is relaxed, conversational, and often deeply insightful, reflecting the hosts’ genuine passion for storytelling, performance, and film craft. Whether revisiting overlooked classics or critiquing recent releases, Charlie and Filipe aim to "watch films so you don’t have to"—though their engaging analysis will probably make you want to.
