    At the Pictures in Britain: Coming July 5th!
    Jun 1 2024
    Britain. Fish and chips. Cups of tea. The smell of the theatrical greasepaint, the roar of the football crowd. A diverse nation grappling with its own long, complex history, always with one tongue firmly in cheek. Over the last century, British film has ebbed and flowed, from Ealing comedy to Carry on sauciness, from the British New Wave to Cool Britannia, from Hammer horror to… Hammer horror again. Forget Hollywood - embrace Pinewood. I’m A. J. Black. Author, writer and podcaster, and I love British film. Join me in a celebration of its quirks, its successes, its failure and its unique gems, At the Pictures in Britain… Coming July 5th exclusively on the Film Stories Podcast Network! Subscribe via Spotify, Apple Podcasts or your podcast player of choice, and don't miss the first episode. https://linktr.ee/atthepicturesinbritain Learn more about your ad choices.
