Weekend At Crombie‘s

A Very Special Crombies: Furiosa, A Mad Max Saga

With the speed of a V8 Interceptor Pursuit Special, we return for another Very Special Crombies.

This time, we take a look at Furiosa, the latest instalment in George Miller's Mad Max 'Wasteland' oeuvre, starring Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth.

Vol 6, Episode 6: The River Wild

It's 1994 and Meryl Streep takes to the water in her only action role, alongside Kevin Bacon, David Strathairn and John C. Reilly, directed by Curtis Hanson.

The scenery is beautiful, the water is wet, and the eternal question is asked: how hard would you row to avoid talking to other people on your holidays?

A Very Special Crombies: The Fall Guy

With the grace of a man falling through a plate glass window, we return for another Very Special Crombies.

This time, our opinions will differ over the David Leitch movie, starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt. One of us is still seeing unicorns, the other has well and truly rolled the car.

Vol 6, Episode 5: Brewster's Millions

It's 1985 and Richard Pryor stars in the sixth remake of this riches-to-rags story, putting such an indelible seal on this Walter Hill movie that it's never been remade since.

Supported by John Candy, John Candy, Lonette McKee and Stephen Collins, with Hume Cronyn doing his finest impression of a malevolent raisin.

Vol 6, Episode 4: Virtuosity

It's 1995, and this Brett Leonard thriller flings us into the distant future (1999) where a computer-generated Russell Crowe must be hunted down by a relentless Denzel Washington.

It's a bravura performance from Crowe, who leaves no piece of scenery un-chewed; and an early start for Washington's long catalogue of man-with-handgun-does-shouting oeuvre.

Vol 6, Episode 3: Action Jackson

It's 1988, and Carl Weathers plays the titular role of Jericho 'Action' Jackson, alongside a host of familiar faces from other films where things randomly explode.

The decade was not short of action movies, but where does this sit among the pantheon?

Vol 6, Episode 2: Hobson's Choice

It's 1954 and cinematic greats Charles Laughton and David Lean create a romantic comedy about the heady world of nineteenth century Salford bootmaking.

A smash hit at the time, we came at this with different perspectives. Still, you can listen to it, or not.

Vol 6, Episode 1: La Grande Vadrouille

It's 1966 and comedy legends of French cinema - Louis de Funès and Bourvil - reunite for this epic World War II comedy, with Terry-Thomas providing Best Supporting Moustaches.

After a year in the West, we're returning to the classic Weekend at Crombie's format - and this one does not disappoint!

Vol 6, Episode 13 - A Year In Review

As the bongs of Big Ben close out the old year, James breaks out his spreadsheet to analyse the films of the past year, the whole series, and how the shifting sands of public perception may have washed over our previous picks.

It's the review of the reviews show!

A Very Special Crombies: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

The Man With The Hat is back, and our hosts have such strong feelings about this, it's time for another Very Special Crombies.

Sit back and enjoy these museum pieces being dusted off for one last exhibit.
