Weekend listening: a 1964 film about accidental nuclear war from an acclaimed director, featuring a mad scientist who plans to kill millions. That's right, it's... "Fail Safe" Expecting something else? An amazing film and the amazing story of its battle with Dr Strangelove.

"Where 'Stand By Me' spoke to the nostalgic, optimistic Reagan era, 'The Long Walk' is a film for a Trumpian time of delight in random public cruelty." On 'The Long Walk' and 'Spinal Tap II'. thecritic.co.uk/they-cant-real…

It's becoming one of our most popular episodes: Aliens. How did a young director hated by the film crews turn a sci-fi horror into a billion-dollar franchise? Is it really all about Vietnam? And what is the most quotable line? Wherever you get your podcasts.
