Episode 189 - McVicar (1980)

Season 1 · Episode 189

Sunday, June 16, 2024 • Duration 01:55:18

The Stinking Pause Podcast - bringing you classic movies since 2013...some good, some not so good.

This week, an episode that has been eleven years in the making.

At last, our dear friend Maurice, host of See Hear and Love That Album joins Scott, Paul and Charlie from Melbourne.

Also joining us, from York, is Steven, Scott's co host on the Reel Britannia podcast.

A word of warning - this episode is a bit sweary!

McVicar (1980)

John McVicar (Roger Daltrey) is an English career criminal locked up with all the other lifers in the dreaded E Wing of Durham Prison. Between riots and constant prison guard brutality, McVicar and fellow inmate Walter Probyn (Adam Faith) gradually dig a tunnel that enables their escape. Once on the outside, McVicar does his best to lie low and re-enter the lives of his wife (Cheryl Campbell) and infant son, despite the fact that police have labeled him "Public Enemy Number One."

"I suppose you think you got the better of us there. But just remember, kidder, you're in for ten years."

"Yeah, that's right, Mr. Pendel. But you're in for life, ain't yer?"

Episode 188 - Electra Glide In Blue (1973)

Season 1 · Episode 188

Monday, June 3, 2024 • Duration 32:37

The Stinking Pause Podcast - bringing you classic movies since 2013...some good, some not so good.

This week, it's Anthony's turn to join Scott and Paul to take a look at an American cop classic from the seventies

Anthony is the host of Film Gold, Life And Life Only and Glass Onion: On John Lennon.

Electra Glide In Blue (1973)

The only thing good-hearted motorcycle cop John Wintergreen (Robert Blake) wants is to become a detective. To wear a big Stetson, smoke fancy cigars and be paid to think. So when he stumbles upon a dead body, he takes the case - and proves he's got the right stuff. But as soon as he's promoted, he finds that the corruption he must tolerate makes his Stetson not fit so well and the cigars not taste so good. Forced to confront his own disillusionment, Wintergreen heads out on his bike, the Electra Glide, and makes another shocking discovery that could cost him his life.

"I hate that motorcycle they make me ride. I'm here to tell you there ain't nothing in the world I hate worse than that elephant under my ass."

Episode 179 - Deliverance (1972)

Season 1 · Episode 179

Saturday, May 27, 2023 • Duration 01:55:50

The Stinking Pause Podcast

Bringing you classic movies since 2013...some good, some not so good.

2023 marks the 10th anniversary of the Stinking Pause podcast.

To celebrate, this year we are looking back at some of the movies already reviewed over the past 10 years and inviting fellow podcasters and friends to join us.

This week, Anthony from Glass Onion: On John Lennon, Film Gold, and Life & Life Only, joins Scott to chat about one of the all time great movies from the 70s

Deliverance (1972)

The Cahulawassee River valley in Northern Georgia is one of the last natural pristine areas of the state, which will soon change with the imminent building of a dam on the river, which in turn will flood much of the surrounding land. As such, four Atlanta city dwellers, alpha male Lewis Medlock, Ed Gentry, Bobby Trippe, and Drew Ballinger, decide to take a multi-day canoe trip on the river, with only Lewis and Ed having experience in outdoor life. They know going in that the area is isolated. Their relatively peaceful trip takes a turn for the worse halfway through with river rapids and unwelcoming locals. The four need to battle their way out of the valley and are asked to do things they never thought possible within themselves.

"Do know what's gonna be here? Right here? A lake. As far as the eyes can see. Hundreds of feet deep. HUNDREDS of feet deep. Did you ever look out over a lake and think of somethin' buried underneath it? Buried underneath it. Well man, that's just about as buried as you can get."

Episode 178 - Some Like It Hot (1959)

Season 1 · Episode 178

Friday, May 12, 2023 • Duration 01:19:34

The Stinking Pause Podcast - bringing you classic movies since 2013...some good, some not so good.

2023 marks the 10th anniversary of the Stinking Pause podcast.

To celebrate, this year we are looking back at some of the movies already reviewed over the past 10 years. This week, Paul has selected a genuine classic from Billy Wilder, starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon.

Some Like It Hot (1959)

Billy Wilder's zany cross-dressing comedy begins with a massacre – resembling the gangland St Valentine's Day killings of 1929 – and ends with one of the most celebrated last lines in cinema history. Written in cahoots with the director's new collaborator I.A.L. Diamond, Some Like It Hot ascends to inspired heights of silliness in-between, with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon both on career-best form as dragged-up musicians hiding out with Sugar Kane's girl band.

Both the gangster story and the screwball antics hark back to Hollywood films of the 1930s, but Wilder's outrageous and subversive play with gender was truly boundary pushing and helped lead to a loosening of censorship after United Artists released the film without certification.

" You tore off one of my chests!"

Episode 177 - A Night To Remember (1958)

Season 1 · Episode 177

Saturday, May 6, 2023 • Duration 01:09:47

The Stinking Pause podcast – bringing you classic movie reviews since 2013

Scott is joined this week by Steven, his co-host over at the Reel Britannia podcast and Anthony, host of Film Gold, Glass Onion : On John Lennon, and Life and Life Only

A Night To Remember (1958)

The sinking of the Titanic is presented in a highly realistic fashion in this tense British drama. The disaster is portrayed largely from the perspective of the ocean liner's second officer, Charles Lightoller (Kenneth More). Despite numerous warnings about ice, the ship sails on, with Capt. Edward John Smith (Laurence Naismith) keeping it going at a steady clip. When the doomed vessel finally hits an iceberg, the crew and passengers discover that they lack enough lifeboats, and tragedy follows.

"It was uncomfortable. We have dressed now in our best, and are prepared to go down like gentlemen."

Episode 176 - Sweet Smell Of Success (1957)

Season 1 · Episode 176

Thursday, April 27, 2023 • Duration 01:10:12

The Stinking Pause Podcast - bringing you classic movies since 2013...some good, some not so good.

2023 marks the 10th anniversary of the Stinking Pause podcast.

To celebrate, this year we are looking back at some of the movies already reviewed over the past 10 years and inviting fellow podcasters and friends to join us.

This week, Cev from Film Guff, House of Hammer, and Here Lies Amicus, joins us to chat about one of his favourite movies of all time.

Sweet Smell Of Success (1957)

In the swift, cynical Sweet Smell of Success, directed by Alexander Mackendrick, Burt Lancaster stars as the vicious Broadway gossip columnist J. J. Hunsecker, and Tony Curtis as Sidney Falco, the unprincipled press agent Hunsecker ropes into smearing the up-and-coming jazz musician romancing his beloved sister. Featuring deliciously unsavory dialogue, in an acid, brilliantly structured script by Clifford Odets and Ernest Lehman, and noirish neon cityscapes from Oscar-winning cinematographer James Wong Howe, Sweet Smell of Success is a cracklingly cruel dispatch from the kill-or-be-killed wilds of 1950s Manhattan.

" The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river."

Episode 175 - Jaws (1975) Commentary Track

Season 1 · Episode 175

Sunday, April 9, 2023 • Duration 02:23:17

The Stinking Pause podcast - reviewing movies since 2013...some good...some not so good.

A special episode this week as part of our 10th birthday celebrations in which Scott is joined by friend and fellow podcaster Anthony Rotunno to chat about one of their favourite movies in the form of a commentary.

Jaws (1975)

It's a hot summer on Amity Island, a small community whose main business is its beaches. When new Sheriff Martin Brody discovers the remains of a shark attack victim, his first inclination is to close the beaches to swimmers. This doesn't sit well with Mayor Larry Vaughn and several of the local businessmen. Brody backs down to his regret as that weekend a young boy is killed by the predator. The dead boy's mother puts out a bounty on the shark and Amity is soon swamped with amateur hunters and fisherman hoping to cash in on the reward. A local fisherman with much experience hunting sharks, Quint, offers to hunt down the creature for a hefty fee. Soon Quint, Brody and Matt Hooper from the Oceanographic Institute are at sea hunting the Great White shark. As Brody succinctly surmises after their first encounter with the creature, they're going to need a bigger boat.

"Here lies the body of Mary Lee; died at the age of a hundred and three. For fifteen years she kept her virginity; not a bad record for this vicinity."
