Kino Kingdom 81: Halloween 2023 - Part 2 (The Grammar of Gore)

A slight delay between episodes due to holidays and illness, but Rupert and Britt are back! Kicking off with an unplanned chat about clickbait, the two then go through listeners' comments, lots of movies (everything from C Thomas Howell fare through to Jack Scalia) and ending with their films of the week, and of course - The ArkinZ'Dar (Laura Linney to Christopher Walken) - in which controversy lies.

Kino Kingdom 80: Halloween 2023 - Part 1 (Magic Mirror)

The usual Halloween shenanigans ensue as Rupert and Britt watch horror movies for the spooky period. Rupert regales us all with 'Magic Mirror', before part 1 of a double-episode sets us on a ghostly course through Christopher Walken, The Blair Witch Project...and Godfrey Ho. 

Kino Kingdom 79: A Tapestry of Opportunism

Hello one and all, welcome to Kino Kingdom, the movie podcast where Rupert and Britt take you on a journey from one side of the DVD - which contains a '90s erotic thriller starring Andrew Stevens) to the OTHER side of the DVD...that contains a thriller starring Randall 'Tex' Cobb, and Traci Lords. Rupert muses upon The Hidden, as Britt gets covered in Michael Keaton. Good.

Kino Kingdom 78: Ageing faster than Walter Matthau’s Neck

Welcome one and all! In this episode, Rupert dives into cult films as Britt talks Pooh. We also have comments from listeners as well as the ArkinZ'Dar - how quickly can YOU get from Peter Sellers to Simon Pegg? let us know at themenwhotalk@outlook.com

Kino Kingdom 77: I Promise I Won’t...But I Have

A loving discussion about the much-missed William Friedkin, some emails and messages from the listeners (themenwhotalk@outlook.com) as well as the ArkinZ'Dar. There are also film reviews peppered throughout, around the second half of our discussion of the worst films ever. 

Kino Kingdom 76: Existential Angst on a Green-Screen Highway

In this - the first half of a two-parter discussing what makes certain films 'the worst movies ever made', Rupert and Britt first cover Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, and The Flash before briefly talking about the work of Tinto Brass and baaaaad films.
 
Also, Moving Rhyming Stephen Lang returns, and the inevitable ArkinZ'Dar results are in!

Kino Kingdom 75: Slap Bass and Tom Waits

Hello all! Another fun-packed episode of Kino Kingdom featuring '80s pap, the ArkinZ'Dar (and a Turbo-Mega-Ultra-Uber ArkinZ'Dar!), some WWE produced films, and quite possibly one of the worst films that Britt has ever seen.
 
Should Kino Kingdom compile a true list of the worst films ever made? listen and find out, listen with your ears, listen with your feet... listen, listen to The Men Who Talk.
 
RIP Alan Arkin, we will love you forever.

Kino Kingdom 74: That’s How Death Works

Britt loses it when a listener tries to say the words 'David Wenham' as Rupert talks Freevee trash. Also the ArkinZ'Dar results are in, and the new feature - 'Rhyming Movie Stephen Lang' - again causes Britt to titter somewhat. Listen to your loved ones, listen to your heart....and listen to Kino Kingdom.

Kino Kingdom 73: Talkin’ Tolkien - The Lord of the Rings / Hobbit Episode

Rupert unravels his sheaf of notes to cover the entirety of the Hobbit & Lord of the Rings trilogies, which is lucky - because Britt has only seen one film this week, Supernova (not that one).

Kino Kingdom 72: A Snow Globe in my Mind

Rupert discusses Marvel films and The wonderful mess that is The Frighteners, as Britt pushes Disney aside to get to the meat of the matter...or rather the blood of the matter...Dracula 3000.  This episode also features a weird amount of Channing.
