About War Movie Theatre
Love classic war movies? So do we. From Troy to World War II to Vietnam to Aliens, we analyse which war films work and what they say about us. Banned from watching old war movies by their families, writers Robert Hutton and Duncan Weldon meet in their secret basement to discuss why the navy don't simply sail round the other side of Navarone, and why everyone is too old in Saving Private Ryan. Each week, a different film, sometimes brought along by a guest. From Powell and Pressburger's Colonel Blimp to Starship Troopers to Where Eagles Dare to A Bridge Too Far, we've got you covered. What will win the Broadsword Radio Prize For The Most Implausible Moment? Who will take the Cooler King Award For Most Gratuitous American? And what gets the coveted Dam Busters Dog Prize For Most Problematic Moment? The podcast formerly known as A Pod Too Far. Hosted on Acast.

Published 8 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] There's a self-projection element going on here, I fear. Yeah. Lucas has read this book, The Hero with a Thousand Faces or something, which is one of the... Yeah, the attempts to understand story, and you can absolutely see it. But it's also incredibly... You know, the connection between the name Luke and the surname Lucas had never occurred to me until a moment ago, but there we go. This film is incredibly literate in all sorts of ways. When his uncle and aunt are killed, that shot of the farm... If you've seen The Searchers, you know, which George Lucas certainly had, you know what he's talking about there. […]
