STUDIOCANAL Presents - The Podcast

There's a strong case for Peter Sellers being named the finest comedy film actor of all time, and in this latest episode of STUDIOCANAL Presents, he's the subject of our discussion. Regular host Simon Brew is joined by Sellers expert Gemma Ross.
They chat through films such as Carlton Brown Of The F.O. and Only Two Can Play, amongst others. And Gemma has an extra double bill for us as well...

Agatha Christie's work may have been adapted for the screen many times, but she wasn't always too happy with it. That all changed with 1974's Murder On The Orient Express, which started a run of four star-studded movies through to the early 1980s. All of which are now available on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray for the first time.

Host Simon Brew dons his detective hat, and brings along Christie expert Dr Mark Aldridge to uncover the stories about them. And there's some fresh STUDIOCANAL news to dig into as well...

1964's One Potato, Two Potato is an extraordinary film that flies under many people's radars. Now available on Blu-ray for the first time, this episode of STUDIOCANAL Presents looks at a superb slice of Black film history.

Regular host Simon Brew is joined by Dr Clive Nwonka, Associate Professor of Film, Culture & Society at University College London. The pair chat about the film, and also bring the similarly underappreciated Pool Of London into the conversation.

Plus: Dr Nwonka gives us his double bill choice, and there's a round-up too of the latest news from the world of STUDIOCANAL.

After breaking through on Broadway and earning early success with theatre, director Mike Nichols was looking to move to feature films. The second movie he made - and at one stage it was going to be the first - was The Graduate, and over 50 years later, it's enjoying a 4K remaster and 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray release.

For this latest episode of STUDIOCANAL Presents, regular host Simon Brew (of Film Stories) is joined by Little White Lies editor David Jenkins for a conversation about the film, its legacy, and how the casting could have been very, very different. Plus! David's double bill choice, and some added STUDIOCANAL news...
