About Matinee To Midnight –a Podcast for Big Screen Enthusiasts
The podcast is for film enthusiasts of all ages who not only enjoy film but love and appreciate the cinema-going experience.
The show revisits and celebrates classic cinema, reappraises movies that may have been misunderstood or unfairly maligned and aims to uncover hidden gems. Each show will have a specific topic (e.g. a genre, time period, actor, director) and will use the device of programming a fantasy repertory cinema to select the films to be discussed.
Welcome to ’Matinee To Midnight’ - a podcast for big screen enthusiasts.
This week, Simon and Matthew hit the road to discuss car movies. They consider the long history of cars in movies and talk about their own personal history with cars before programming a custom built, pimped up selection of car-centric movies to grease the wheels of the patrons of The Roundhay Garden Cinema.

207b - The One & Only Sergio Leone Part 2 (L'Unico e inimitabile Sergio Leone Parte Seconda)
Welcome to ’Matinee To Midnight’ - a podcast for big screen enthusiasts.
This week, Simon and Matthew dispense with the usual ’matinee’, ’prime time’ and ’midnight’ movie slots in favour of a Roundhay Garden cinema movie marathon. Across two episodes, they will be screening (and discussing) all of the films directed by legendary Italian director Sergio Leone and considering his enduring legacy.
But that is not all as composer Ennio Morricone is also being celebrated and will be joining Leone with his own star in the cinema’s Alley of Glory.
