In the last of our Summer of Seventies season, we are joined by the creator of the Dead Drunk Detective Podcast, Brendan Way to discuss this coming-of-age classic. This will be our last episode, possibly for a while, possibly for all time but at the very least will be taking a break. Thanks for all your support Schmascots!

Our new segment this episode features Chris' intricate knowledge of a large felid of the subfamily Felinae and it's not the one you might expect! Also some stuff about a 1938 Howard Hawks helmed screwball comedy with a couple of schlubs called Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn. There's the usual slew of 90s references in there for good measure too and just a dash of tea chat. Also the great cookie debate.

Our mad-for-science friend Lyn Setchell helps us to explore this 1964 black comedy political satire from Stanley Kubrick. It's probably worth noting, if you are not a Briton, that when we talk about 'pants' we are referring to underwear. We talk for far too long about tea.

Happy New Year Schmascots! We revisit Chaplin as we review a true 'Little Tramp' picture, the 1942 re-release of his 1925 comedy. Don't forget yer pickaxe!
Our first Christmas classic! Join us for mince pies and sherry as we watch and review the 1947 comedy drama about a violent, mentally questionable Kris Kringle. Wishing a very Merry Christmas to all our listeners.
We're getting in the festive mood at Schmassic Studios. While this 1950 comedy-drama isn't a Christmas film per se, it does contain a message fit for this yuletide time of year. It might attempt to put across some fuzzy feels, but is it a Classic? Find out, in the first of two episodes exploring mental health issues. What better theme could there be for Christmastime?
Pip, pip! Wordsmith and Oodsmith Chris Fosten joins us to watch and discuss this super-dark Ealing comedy from 1949 starring Dennis Price, the silky feline-voiced Joan Greenwood and Alec Guinness in eight different roles. Toodle-oo!
Mark Johnson joins our posse as we mosey on over to the Wild West for this 1953 cowboy classic from George Stevens starring Alan Ladd.

In this episode, serial cynic Owen is not thrilled by the prospect of watching this Howard Hawks directed screwball comedy from 1940. Can Chris, with his usual dose of hamster-faced optimism, win him over? Probably not, but since we've had Brexit and President Trump, unlikelier things have happened...
