Kino, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, is a gum obtained from certain tropical trees by tapping, used locally as an astringent in medicine and in tanning. And the Urban Dictionary defines it as flirtatious physical contact.
But those definitions are WRONG (if one was to proclaim as such in a group of linguistic experts then one would be most embarrassed and most likely expelled from the premises for causing a ruckus). But the only definition we care about is the following: The highest form of artistry in the motion picture world.
This is a podcast that celebrates movies, flicks, films, talkies, features and every other corner of the cinematic world. From Lynch to Welles, Mann to Kurosawa and everyone else in between. Join us, your hosts Cavan and James, as we travel through time and across continents to explore the art and wonderment of the motion picture world.
Join us every fortnight as we taste and savor A Good Bit of Kino.
David Lynch sure is a weird chap isn't he?
Well here at A Good Bit of Kino we are nothing but suckers for this guy's cinematic output. So in this episode we put ourselves to the test as we try and rank all 10 of Lynch's feature films.

Episode 6: Withnail and Us
We're back with another dissection of a film, only this time we have actually chosen something good and not abject trash.
The cult British comedy Withnail and I is often beloved and cited as one of the best British films out there; although that point causes a bit of debate between our two hosts.

Episode 5: Videogame Movies
Videogame movie adaptations have a fairly notorious track record of being awful wastes of time; and we would be inclined to agree with you, in fact this episode mostly smack talks them. However we do give you some recommendations on examples of good video game movies, as well as suggesting our own on top of figuring out why they just don't work at all.

Episode 4: Original Gangster (A Less Than Kind Review)
So we found a terrible, rubbish British crime caper that we decided to give an hour long deconstruction.
We don't recomend you watch the movie Original Gangster, but we certainly can't stop you from doing so. Just a word of warning; it will cause physical pain and a hatred for the cockney accent.

Episode 3: Carpenter's Apocalypse Trilogy
Since the dawn of time one question has been asked: Do you read Sutter Cane?
Well The Thing is, that aforementioned Prince of Darkness is actually a fictional character from the film In The Mouth of Madness so it is impossible to have read his works.
Puns aside, this episode is all about John Carpenter's thematic trilogy known as 'The Apocalypse Trilogy'; which consists of The Thing, Prince of Darkness and In The Mouth of Madness. All linked by the narrative idea of the world ending as we know it via some spooky happenings of supernatural of extra terrestrial origins

Episode 2: Arthouse Science-Fiction
We're back again to invade your earholes with some chat about the cinema, and speaking of invasions (although of a more extra-terrestrial variety) the boys this time will be delving into some of those sci-fi movies that are profound, arty, weird and all around not what you expect to see from the likes of Star Wars. With musings on what makes a sci-fi film specifically an arthouse sci-fi movie, some top picks which range from disturbing Japanese body-horror to Sam Rockwell living on the moon, as well some discussion on the films which just get it a bit wrong.
So set those phasers to fun (you can't imagine how much I hate myself for righting that bit) and get ready to once again savor A Good Bit of Kino.

The Pilot Episode: 30 Days of Film in One Package
A pilot episode of a new podcast is wonderful thing, it's like the birth of a beautiful child. However this child is talking about movies, and occasionally swears. Complete with confusion of Hammer Horror as Hammersmith (although those studios were based in Hammersmith) and a technical error near the very end.
This pilot episodes sees your two hosts cover Cineworld's "30 Days of Cinema Challenge" where we discuss, in great brevity, some films that we like in accordance with the question set out by the day in question. It should be an enjoyable experience, but we won't hold you at gun point and force you to like the show.
