Trading Places (1983) - ATRM Classic | Ep. 106
20 December 2024 - 2 hours 13 mins explicitAn upper class commodities director and a lowly street hustler, unknowingly trade places as part of a scientific experiment, orchestrated by the dastardly Duke & Duke.
John Landis’ 80s spin on the Prince and The Pauper was a seasonal smash in the early 80s. An outstanding cast and great writing combined to make Trading Places an evergreen
festive classic.
All The Right Movies are thinking big, thinking positive. Fear? That's the other guy's problem.

The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) - ATRM Classic | Ep. 115
In 1957, David Lean took audiences to a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp in Burma and somehow turned bridge building into one of cinema's great psychological dramas. The Bridge on the River Kwai became a massive hit, but behind the scenes was almost as chaotic as life in the jungle. We're unpacking two stories about the WWII epic: The wild production tale - from Lean's obsessive filmmaking in the Sri Lankan jungle to the controversy over who really wrote the screenplay (Hollywood politics got messy). Second, we dig into the craft behind the sweeping war film - the massive practical bridge construction, Alec Guinness's iconic performance, and how Lean created visual poetry out of warfare (not for the last time, either). Through segments like The Director, The Cast, and The Crew, we explore how a film about building a bridge became a meditation on honor, madness, and the absurdity of war - all while somehow making the "Colonel Bogey March" permanently stuck in your head. Telling the story of Hollywood, one movie at a time.

An American Werewolf In London (1981) - ATRM Classic | Ep. 55
explicitAmericans David Kessler and Jack Goodman’s European trip is cut short in the north English moors when they fall foul of a lycanthrope. David awakens injured in London and quickly begins to lose resistance to his carnivorous lunar activities. Reception to John Landis’ An American Werewolf In London was a mixed bag. Popular at the box office but dismissed by critics, it went on to have a huge influence on the genre thanks to its deft mixture of horror and comedy and its ground-breaking, Oscar winning make-up effects. ATRM are here to talk 5 pointed stars and full moons but we will not be threatened by walking meatloaf.
