90mins On Film

It's our final episode of the Halloween season, and we’re going out with a bang... Or at least a giant bucket of pig’s blood. Monica Heidt from Spooky Tuesday joins us to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Brian De Palma’s acclaimed adaptation of Stephen King’s Carrie. This Halloween season we’re looking back at what's aged well and what hasn't, how the film has influenced countless others, and why this tale has maintained enough relevance, that it's somehow made its way to the small screen ye...

Freddy’s back, the fourth wall is broken, and Wes Craven has officially made Hollywood part of the nightmare. This week on 90mins On Film, we’re diving into Wes Craven's New Nightmare, the 1994 meta-horror experiment that asks the question: what happens when Freddy Krueger decides to terrorize the people who made him famous?

Murder.” We'll break down the music, the performances, the culture, and Bishop’s slow descent into absolute l...

No one can ruin a terrorist’s day like Jack Ryan can. Which is why we're revisiting Harrison Ford’s first outing as the titular character: a CIA analyst who apparently thought retirement from the agency meant he could simply take a family vacation without someone trying to kill him. And nothing quite says “I’m done with the CIA” like immediately getting sucked right back into it with both Darth Vader and Mace Windu backing you up. So grab your passport, hide your family, and join ...
