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.
On this show, Simon and Matthew, the co-proprietors of the fictional 2-screen repertory cinema, 'The Roundhay Garden', will be discussing and recommending movies built around a particular topic.
The topic could be a genre, an actor, an actress, a director, a year in movie history or any other theme that comes to mind.
And they will each be choosing movies from the topic to programme at the cinema to fill the schedule - a 'Matinee' movie, a 'Prime Time' movie, and a 'Midnight Movie'.
This is a film recommendation show, but the movies Simon and Matthew choose to discuss are not necessarily their favourite films on a subject. They are the films that they feel are interesting and worthy of discussion - and best fit into these programming slots.
