S1 Ep266: Flash Gordon + Open 24 Hours + Fish Story

Published: Aug. 5, 2020, 5 p.m.

OK, place your bets now: how long before someone does a Brian Blessed impersonation? This week's Cinema Eclectica is headlined by Mike Hodges outrageous Flash Gordon - and if you think the director of Get Carter was an odd choice, wait until you hear who nearly directed it.

In Off the Shelf, Tim takes a look at the new VoD slasher movie Open 24 Hours, which makes a persuasive case for anyone who buys a sou'wester to be put on a police register of some kind. Mick, meanwhile, is dazzled by the time-hopping cross-cutting genius of Fish Story, released in a new Blu-Ray edition by Third Window films. Next week: hobos!
