Midnight Video 26: Christmas Special
Giant turkeys, rivers of canned bitter and knitted monstrosities are just lurking around the corner for most people, but wait, 'Hark! The herald angels sing' Midnight Video are here to offer you an unseasonal respite in the form of a podcast that neatly attempts to side step the obvious, so if you're looking for reviews of festive faves such as Die Hard, Gremlins and Trading Places, well look elsewhere after soiling your ears with our mulled wine fuelled waffle.
Show 26 is a bit different in that three wise listeners very kindly offered us three cinematic treats to review. The movie magi gifts consisted of The Great Silence, My Favourite Year and Brain Damage - an eclectic and unpredictable trio that is befitting of the show I think you'll agree.
So without further ado, right click the post's title to download or subscribe to us via iTunes. And have a jolly Christmas and very merry New year, and as always thanks for listening.

Just for fun this one folks. I've deliberately avoided a seasonal theme and opted for 'offence'. Enjoy!

Midnight Video 25
Midnight Video 25 reveals our amorous intents as Oliver Reed tries to lose his virginity, but not his mind in Dr Heckyl And Mr Hype. Donald Sutherland powders his nose (cheeks, chin, neck, etc.) and adjusts his wig and codpiece in Fellini's Casanova before Richard Burton's lust for love and taste for uroxicide display themselves in the colourful Bluebeard.
Right click and 'save as' the post's title to download and be sure to check back here for stills from the flicks that we've reviewed.

Midnight Video Meet Up 2: The Listeners Strike Back
Evening all. I hope your respective festive consumerism and general feelings of dread are at amber alert, but fear not, the season of excessive turkey consumption and Keith Chegwin jokes in the crackers can be alleviated on Saturday 14th January when we'll be having another Midnight Video meet up in ol' London Town.
This time we'll be in the (hopefully) more sedate surroundings of The Blue Posts - again it's an affordable Sam Smiths, but being slightly more off the beaten/tourist track, seats and volume shouldn't be an issue.
So pop this in your diary and hopefully see you there from 2pm onwards.

Midnight Video Quiz 3
Due to the 'do it whenever we get the chance' nature of recording the shows, the quiz winner announcements end up a bit scattered about I'm afraid, but show 25 will be the place to hear who was triumphant in our second clips quiz.
This third clips quiz asks for answers to be submitted before 2nd Decemeber, but you can ignore this and get your answers in before 12th December.
