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.

  • Reach For The Sky - with Peter Apps

    Reach For The Sky - with Peter Apps
    Feb 26 2026

    Douglas Bader was a man who lost both his legs but became a World War 2 flying ace, a disability campaigner who could be insufferably rude, a prisoner in Colditz who was nearly killed by his American liberators. We're joined by Peter Apps, who was paralysed in an accident while working as a Reuters war correspondent but has since rejoined the Army, to talk about the amazing film of Bader's life. Did Kenneth More make him seem to nice? Why were the film's makers so personally invested in the portrayal of Bader's rehabilitation? Why did Bader refuse to go and see it?


    Peter's new book is "The Next World War: the New Age of Global Conflict and the Fight to Stop It".


    Next week: We kick off Fighting Irish Month with The Siege of Jadotville.

  • Edge of Tomorrow (Live Die Repeat) with Charles Arthur

    Edge of Tomorrow (Live Die Repeat) with Charles Arthur
    Feb 19 2026

    Is it "Groundhog Day meets Aliens" or "World War 2 of the future"? Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt strap on their exoskeletons and go to war against alien invaders, over and over again.


    We're joined by the writer Charles Arthur to watch a film that, amazingly, Duncan knew nothing about.

    Marvel as he tries to work out why Cruise is dying 10 minutes in.

    Thrill as we try to work out the bodycount,

    Gasp as Rob explains director Doug Liman's seat-of-his pants approach to film-making.
