The Invasion of the Poddy Snatchers
Invasion of the Poddysnatchers is a deeply unprofessional film podcast made for the sheer joy of overthinking movies. We dig into camera angles, weird edits, messy classics, and the films that we remember from rainy Sunday afternoons. It’s sporadic, it’s scrappy and it’s mostly for us, but if you like nerdy tangents about aspect ratios and why ”Zardoz” exists, you might be in the right place.

A Boy’s Best Friend is his Mother
We watch the 1960 Alfred Hitchcock movie, Psycho, starring Anthony Perkins and Janet Leigh. We chat and get into nerdy detail about why it's a classic and what makes it so effective.

The Stuff that Dreams are Made Of....
In this episode we watch the Maltese Falcon (1941) starring Humphrey Bogart and Mary Astor. We love classic film noir and have a chat about the origins of the style and about the stars of the film.
*We were going to call this the Sunday Cinema Club, but there is already a pod called that, so we changed it.
**In the pod,, we get the date of the Hays Code wrong - it started in 1934 - and can't remember which side of the film is which. I bet we got other stuff wrong.
Welcome
We're really glad you're here and we hope you enjoy the podcast.
Settle in with your favourite snacks, and listen to a pair of old men talk about films - you could even watch along if you like.
