58. MAGIC (1978), with Simon Brown

Episode 58

Sunday, October 4, 2026 • Duration 01:41:58

The Fedora podcast celebrates its second anniversary today and to make things even more special, I am joined by co-host Simon Brown to discuss Richard Attenborough's 1978 suspense thriller, MAGIC, adapted by William Goldman from his own best-selling novel. Anthony Hopkins stars as the magician with a unique gimmick, Ann-Margret is the love of his life and Burgess Meredith is the agent who really wants to help his client. But things are not what they seem ...

We explore how the film differs from the novel, some of the early casting options (Gene Wilder was apparently a serious contender and Jack Nicholson may also have been offered the role) and the various directors who were approached (including Norman Jewison, who was on it for six months, Mike Nichols and, apparently, even Steven Spielberg).

52. HUDSON HAWK (1991), with David Hughes

Episode 52

Sunday, July 12, 2026 • Duration 50:11

It's 35 years since the original cinema release of Hudson Hawk, the delightfully eccentric caper action comedy. I'm mad about the movie and David Hughes has now written a great book about it, The Unmaking of Hudson Hawk. He dropped in at Fedora (from a great height but into a very comfy chair) to spill the beans. To order a copy of the book, or listen to David's Rogue Commentary podcast or read his illuminating essay on how to set up your own Blu-ray label in the UK, follow the links below:

50. Top 10 Sherlock Holmes Movies (part 1), with Nick Cardillo

Episode 50

Sunday, June 14, 2026 • Duration 01:16:19

To celebrate Fedora's 50th episode, our special guest is Nick Cardillo, author of several Sherlock Holmes pastiches in print and on audio. He joins me to pick his favourite movies featuring the most beloved, and most filmed, "consulting detective." This podcast became such an epic that we had to split it into two halves. In this first part, Nick and I discuss his choices covering films originally released between 1939 and 1965.

NB I make an error in our discussion on the music score for A Study in Terror. I mispoke and credited it to John Cameron but it was in fact the debut movie score by John Scott.
