Underground Nights is presented by James Mullinger, a comedian and feminist living in Canada, and Paul Field, a Sun reading football fan in the south of England. By all accounts, they shouldn’t be friends and yet they are united by their shared interests in genre and cult films, and vinyl records. In each episode of Underground Nights, James and Paul will take a look at their favourite cult movies that may have slipped under your radar, some of the most popular indie horror film makers from Wolf Cop director Lowell Dean to Troma Entertainment's Lloyd Kaufman, as well as discussing the burgeoning film scene in James’s adopted home, Canada.

James and Paul are back with a lockdown special, taking a deep dive into the Rise Of The Footsoldier franchise. Pat Tate, Tony Tucker & Craig Rolfe met a sticky end in Rettendon that's spawned a slew of movies. We found out which is their favourite and there's a special Footsoldier quiz.

EPISODE EIGHT - ROM COM RAMBLE
After a winter hiatus, James and Paul are back with a new episode of Underground Nights.
In this episode, the pair take a look at James's secret passion that he's finally telling the world about: romcoms. The boys count down their top five in the genre, offer an early sneak peak review of the new Mark Murphy comedy, For Love or Money, and Paul forces more recommendations on his co-host.
There's even time for James to review new release, Love, Simon, and they are still banging on about why Oscar films are boring. Don't forget to subscribe to the show, leave us a review on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts, and for UK audiences, check out Mullinger's live stand up special for free on Amazon Prime, Anything is Possible (https://www.amazon.co.uk/James-Mullinger-Anything-Possible/dp/B075DKPWTY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1523569555&sr=8-1&keywords=james+mullinger).

EPISODE SEVEN - UNCLE DON'S MOP
Paul Field and James Mullinger are back with another episode of their cult film podcast for a special Brit-flick edition, focussing particularly on their favourite (and least favourite) British gangster and crime movies, from football hooligans to Essex boys and all that's in between (as long as it wears a sovereign ring and is a bit nawty oi oi). In a rarity for the Underground Nights hosts, they also tackle a number of new releases that were available in cinemas and not just two-for-£10 on the shelves at your local supermarket, including Nocturnal Animals, A Cure for Wellness, and the eagerly anticipated Canadian release of Danny Boyle's T2: Trainspotting.

EPISODE SIX - UGN'S GUIDE TO 2016
The tinsel is down, the tree is in a skip, the annual bottle of port is long gone and only the orange ones remain in the tub of Quality Street, but 2016 has one last hurrah as hosts Paul and James take a look back at their favourite films of the past 12 months. First they tackle the results from the Failed Critics Awards 2016 and discover which hugely popular titles they've managed to completely miss. They discuss their biggest surprises, biggest disappointments and hopefully don't alienate most of their movie-going listeners by rubbishing the biggest critical hits of the year. Finally, they each countdown their three worst films - and the lads have their sights firmly set on those with money and talent who've managed to balls things up spectacularly in 2016. There's also time for a round-up of the top 5 movies of the year. What a wonderfully mixed bag it is too! As ever with Underground Nights, if you're looking for superhero films, head elsewhere. If you want competitive endurance tickling, bizarre erotic fan-fiction, Nicolas Cage movies without Nicholas Cage, and Dave Courtney in a tank, then you're in luck.

EPISODE FIVE - THE COMEDIANS GUIDE TO SURVIVAL

EPISODE FOUR - AROMA DU TROMA
Emerging from a flaming toxic waste drum ready to avenge the podcasting world, potty-mouthed Paul Field and feminist comedian James Mullinger are back - and they're bigger, better and uglier than ever! Well, at least two of those are true. Joining your Underground Nights hosts in the fourth episode of the podcast is the iconic Troma producer, director and all-round legend that is Lloyd Kaufman. If that weren't enough, Troma Institute for Gifted Youth inductee Dylan Greenberg also takes part in the very personal interview. Lloyd and Dylan discuss everything from how Kaufman got into films, to what they really think about Netflix and why Troma NOW is better. To top it all off, Dave Valentine (aka Crisp Packet Dave) and Mullinger bond over their love for VHS, whilst Paul holds an impromptu quiz... and not a single question was about laser-disc! There's also enough time to chat about VHS Forever before Dave's sexy voice gets all too much. Support the podcast by streaming the podcast from our hosts Acast, subscribing on iTunes and leaving us a review and rating, and sharing this page with all of your friends - and some people who aren't your friends too, just for good measure.

EPISODE THREE - CULT COMEDY
The lads are back! After a brief hiatus whilst James Mullinger was busy doing actual paid stand-up comedy, rather than fannying around on the internet talking about films with Paul Field, our Underground Nights duo return with a cult comedy special. They tackle the outrageous Danish road trip movie Klown and try and look back on James’s childhood obsession with the little known Scorsese feature After Hours. There’s news – lots of news – as we discover the outcome of James trying to flog more gig tickets than Jerry Seinfeld, they reminisce about over-indulging in the 90’s, tackle the Cannes film festival and go misty-eyed over the Carry On movies. They end by discussing some listener suggestions and deliver their own Top 5 personal favourite cult comedy movies – and as ever, they discover ever more things they have in common and parallels in their lives.

EPISODE TWO - TOP DOCS
Back by popular demand, it’s the second episode Field & Mullinger’s Underground Nights. Once again, your hosts Paul Field and James Mullinger are delving into the depths of cinema to dig out some of the best documentaries they can find. From the phenomenon of the Netflix series Making A Murderer, to the ground-breaking Paradise Lost, they’ve got it covered. Joining Paul and James to discuss the world of documentary film-making is Cleanflix co-director Joshua Ligairi. As well as sharing his thoughts on some of the crazy conspiracies behind Making A Murderer, Josh also talks about his own work past and present, including the upcoming Plan 241. There’s also time for the trio to quickly run through the recent Oscar nominations and explain how Alan Rickman inadvertently funded one member of the team throughout his education!

EPISODE ONE – FRED’S POCKET
Welcome to the premiere episode of Field & Mullinger’s Underground Nights, where we’ll be tickling the underbelly of cinema, from Troma & Astron 6 to the much maligned British gangster flick and everything in between. Your hosts James Mullinger and Paul Field kick off with a Canadian Special (not a euphemism) where we discuss our favourite Canadian movies. James tells us why he loves Lost After Dark and explains why he is still buying VHS, whilst Paul shows a lot of love for The Soska Sisters (come on, we all love a Dead Hooker In A Trunk…) We go balls deep into WolfCop as we’re joined by the director Lowell Dean who shares his passion for Canadian cinema and offers a veritable feast of WolfCop news & insight – including some exclusive WolfCop 2 news! There’s even time to finish up with a new release review, where we look at the controversial LOVE 3D from notorious French auteur Gaspar Noé. Obviously that flies off at a tangent so acute we end up on a jolly jape concerning Fred and the stash of gentleman’s journals in his pocket.
