Hammer House Of Podcast

Hello! And welcome to the fifth episode of Hammer House of Podcast, where Paul Cornell (Doctor Who, Elementary) and L.M. Myles (Verity!) discuss, in order of UK release, every horror movie made by Hammer Film Productions between 1955 and 1976, from The Quatermass Xperiment to To the Devil… A Daughter. The Snorkel. There is a film called The Snorkel. And that's what we're discussing in this week's Hammer House of Podcast. Is it a horror? Probably not. Is it any good? Yes, yes it is. And not just because there's a sneaky murder plan where a snorkel is integral. There's also a plucky girl detective and her dog, Toto, who are going to solve this mystery, beautful location filming in Italy, and a murderer who only knows two ways to kill people: drowning, and death by snorkel shenanigans.

Hello! And welcome to the fifth episode of Hammer House of Podcast, where Paul Cornell (Doctor Who, Elementary) and L.M. Myles (Verity!) discuss, in order of UK release, every horror movie made by Hammer Film Productions between 1955 and 1976, from The Quatermass Xperiment to To the Devil… A Daughter. This episode we're discussing 1958's Dracula or, as the Americans call it, The Horror of Dracula, where we marvel at Christopher Lee's silhouette, and make no comment at all on how utterly dashing Peter Cushing is. For this episode we have a special guest: Marcus Hearn, Hammer's official historian, joins us and shares his marvellously vast knowledge of this groundbreaking film.

Hello! And welcome to the fifth episode of Hammer House of Podcast, where Paul Cornell (Doctor Who, Elementary) and L.M. Myles (Verity!) discuss, in order of UK release, every horror movie made by Hammer Film Productions between 1955 and 1976, from The Quatermass Xperiment to To the Devil… A Daughter. This episode we're discussing 1957's The Abominable Snowman, where Peter Cushing really wants to find a Yeti. It's full of very impressive snow and mountains, fear, paranoia, and a monkey that has no business being 8000 feet above sea level. But are the Yeti themselves fluffy enough? The answer is no. There might be some deep, philosphical themes going on here, but without proper fluffy Yeti, can we actually appreciate them?  Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HHoP Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/HammerHousePod

Hello! And welcome to the fourth episode of Hammer House of Podcast, where Paul Cornell (Doctor Who, Elementary) and L.M. Myles (Verity!) discuss, in order of UK release, every horror movie made by Hammer Film Productions between 1955 and 1976, from The Quatermass Xperiment to To the Devil… A Daughter.   In this episode we’re discussing 1957’s Quatermass 2, where Brian Donlevy once again causes despair as he upsets the carefully laid plans of some aliens who just want to help out the British economy. Probably. Learn about the poor condition of roads in the north of Britain! Marvel at the tiny little spaceship-shaped meteorites! Breathe a sigh of relief that this is the last we see of Brian Donlevy's Quatermass! Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HHoP Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/HammerHousePod  

Hello! And welcome to the third episode of Hammer House of Podcast, where Paul Cornell (Doctor Who, Elementary) and L.M. Myles (Verity!) discuss, in order of UK release, every horror movie made by Hammer Film Productions between 1955 and 1976, from The Quatermass Xperiment to To the Devil… A Daughter. In this episode of Hammer House of Podcast we're discussing 1957's The Curse of Frankenstein, Hammer's first colour movie and the most influential British horror film of them all (probably). Peter Cushing's in this one! He's in it a lot! He's brilliant, he is. Alas the entire podcast is not about how amazing Peter Cushing is; we also cover such topics as how bad parenting can lead to your kid going body-snatching, why you shouldn't be distracted by guinea pigs, and how annoying it is when guillotines don't drop.    Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HHoP Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/HammerHousePod  

Hello! And welcome to the second episode of Hammer House of Podcast, where Paul Cornell (Doctor Who, Elementary) and L.M. Myles (Verity!) discuss, in order of UK release, every horror movie made by Hammer Film Productions between 1955 and 1976, from The Quatermass Xperiment to To the Devil… A Daughter. This episode we're discussing 1956's X the Unknown where one of us is ever so pleased it's set in Scotland, there is an entirely reasonable argument about whether a goopy-porridge like substance from the Earth's core is a metaphor for nuclear war, and we are ever so delighted to have an American scientist not played by Brian Donlevy.

Hello! And welcome to the first actual proper episode of the brand new podcast Hammer House of Podcast, where Paul Cornell (Doctor Who, Elementary) and L.M. Myles (Verity!) discuss, in order of UK release, every horror movie made by Hammer Film Productions between 1955 and 1976, from The Quatermass Xperiment to To the Devil… A Daughter. In this episode we're talking about 1955's The Quatermass Xperiment (with an X - very important) where there is an entirely reasonable and moderate amount of discussion on early rocketry, and any theorising about Quatermass's secret German origins is solid and well-founded. (We also apologise in advance to any Brian Donlevy fans.) Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HHoP Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/HammerHousePod
