We're back! After three years plus, the Cine Lit team have reconvened to resurrect the podcast for a very special season of recordings. This new season entltled Metrospective explores the film programming history of Derby's Metro Cinema (1981 - 2008) to coincide with a new exhibition dedicated to the cinema in QUAD's Montage Gallery.

Head of Film Adam Marsh is joined by Film Historian and We Belong Dead magazine editor (and former Metro Cinema customer) Darrell Buxton to explore the history of the cinema, the films that were being programmed in 1980, 1990s, and 2000's arthouse cinemas and how these programmes reflect on modern programming.

Join us for this bumper first episode as we take a deep dive in the state of cinema in the UK in the late 1970s, early 1980s, the star power of actors such as Jack Nicholson, Marilyn Monroe, James Cagney and Liv Ullman, Darrell's memories of Hell's Angels, Surrealist Cinema and the power of a great late show!

From Metro to QUAD: A Derby Story exhibition runs in QUAD's Montage Gallery from 27th September 2025 - 11th January 2026.

The End Is Nigh! Well, for Cine-Lit it is at least. For this final episode in an almost three-year run, including over 70 podcasts on a crazy range of subjects, we are bringing the curtain down on Cine-Lit. But we couldn't go out with a whimper when we could go out with a bang. Adam and Darrel sit down and talk about Great Movie Endings. And of course, with a great movie ending, there is always the possibility of a great movie resurrection...

Alfred Hitchcock made some of the most well-respected films of all time, Vertigo currently tops the Sight and Sound list of the 100 Greatest Films of All Time but what about some of Hitch's lesser works? Adam and Darrell take a look at two films shot and released during a particularly purple patch for the director. In the midst of films like Rear Window, Vertigo, North By Northwest and Psycho, these two films seem to stand out like criminals in an identity parade. One is a black comedy while the other is based on a true story and leans heavily into film noir. Join us as we talk about Harry and Manny in The Trouble With Harry (1955) and The Wrong Man (1956).
