概要

Love classic war movies? So do we. From Troy to World War II to Vietnam to Aliens, we analyse which war films work and what they say about us.


Banned from watching old war movies by their families, writers Robert Hutton and Duncan Weldon meet in their secret basement to discuss why the navy don't simply sail round the other side of Navarone, and why everyone is too old in Saving Private Ryan. Each week, a different film, sometimes brought along by a guest. From Powell and Pressburger's Colonel Blimp to Starship Troopers to Where Eagles Dare to A Bridge Too Far, we've got you covered.


What will win the Broadsword Radio Prize For The Most Implausible Moment?

Who will take the Cooler King Award For Most Gratuitous American?

And what gets the coveted Dam Busters Dog Prize For Most Problematic Moment?


The podcast formerly known as A Pod Too Far.

    The Heroes of Telemark
    2026/02/12

    Skis against the atom! We're watching one of the all-time classic war movies. Kirk Douglas and Richard Harris jump from planes, scale ice cliffs and sink a ferry in the quest to stop the Nazis getting the bomb. Directed by Anthony Mann, it's based on an amazing true story of Norwegian heroism. Has knitwear ever looked better? Are Norwegians really this horny? And can Rob successfully explain "heavy water" to Duncan?


    Next week: Edge of Tomorrow (Live Die Repeat)

  • Nuremberg - with Henry Dyer

    Nuremberg - with Henry Dyer
    2026/02/05

    Russell Crowe makes another pitch for an Oscar as he plays Herman Goering, on trial for his life. But is he let down by a film that is determined to both show and tell? Does he have the silliest last line in history? Is this, fundamentally, a crime against cinema? We're joined by Henry Dyer of the Guardian, who has become so obsessed with why this film doesn't work that he's read the screenplay. And Rob and Duncan can't stop thinking of different stories the makers could have told instead.


    Next week, by popular demand: The Heroes of Telemark.

  • The Last of the Mohicans

    The Last of the Mohicans
    2026/01/29

    Our journey through classic war movies reaches back to colonial America, as we watch Michael Mann's amazing The Last Of The Mohicans. It's an epic tale of obsession and men who won't compromise -- and that's just the making of the film. Daniel Day-Lewis insisted on living like a native American. Mann tried to turn the sun off. But the result, well.


    Rob and Duncan discuss why this film stands up, why it was overlooked at the Oscars, and why it really might have been the operation that changed the course of World War 2/
