And in film podcast news...

Phil from Farm Cove

This is my mate Johnny Andrews – Johnny be good. Mancunian in Howick. He produces the brilliant My Movie DNA podcast about the cinematic experience and it was a real pleasure to be his guest.

Here’s Johnny post: The new episode of My Movie DNA is now available with EAST FM 88.1 107.1 DJ, quizmaster and journalist Phil Taylor. Lots of music chat in this one as we cover nearly every music-related film under the sun!

G’day Johnny, thanks, bro. I sure did most of the talking, and deliberately (for fun) guided it around many different movie memories, randomly. You’re a great host, providing a platform for people to tell stories. Just what movies do.

Hopefully, listeners will enjoy recollections of film history culture in a (mostly) Auckland and New Zealand context.
Yes, I rattled off plenty of topics and movie star names, but here’s the leftover scribblings from the note paper…

Die Hard (saw in Karachi), Hard Day’s Night, Help! The Dambusters, The Battle of Britain, Dean Martin and Jerry Lee Lewis, Bill Nighy, Robert Duvall, Bobby De Niro, Jack Lemon, Walter Matthau, The Thing, Ewan McGregor, Hugo Weaving, Terence Stamp, Robert Redford, Paul Newman, Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci, Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney, Jimmy Stewart, Gregory Peck, John Wayne, Glenda Jackson, Dame Judie Dench, Dame Maggie Smith, Bette Davis, Lauren Bacall, Julia Roberts, Meg Ryan, Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Sammy David Junior, Laurel and Hardy… - PJ
