It's the final episode of The Pod Charles Cinecast, presented by The Prince Charles Cinema, and our hosts Jonathan Foster and Fil Freitas have been hit with the dreaded writer's block. Tasked with coming up a worthy denouement to the show after nearly six years of antics, Jon and Fil find themselves truly stuck. How can you possibly do a big blow-off meta episode about the fifth and final instalment in the Die Hard franchise, 2013's A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD? Will the boys defeat the burnout in time to deliver an episode worthy enough for our beloved fans? Will they be taunted by familiar vo ..read more

In this penultimate episode of The Pod Charles Cinecast, your hosts Jonathan Foster and Fil Freitas are back with a Brucie Bonus, as we see the return of BRUCE WILLS US – the bonus series where we occasionally dip into the films of Bruce Willis.

Bruce Willis plays a self-absorbed 40-year-old image consultant who is mysteriously confronted by the eight-year-old version of himself (Spencer Breslin), and is forced ..read more

Just when you think it's safe to endorse a tin foil hat company... Follow the BREADCRUMBS ..read more

The heat is on. We are too close to the truth. Maybe it's the UFO Universe Magazines we've been reading, but we are pretty sure we are being followed. The truth is out there, and someone doesn't want us to find it. Be careful with who may be following you. And for the love of god, if an alien gives you a gift, make sure it's an ashtray. That's the only way you'll be believed... Follow the BREADCRUMBS ..read more
