This evening, we’re in the North of England, it’s realism on screen, it’s social commentary on screen, its dank and it’s a little bit grim. It can only be Ken Loach. We also look at the Far east meeting the wild west waaaaayy before anyone ever heard of Jackie Chan or Owen Wilson. And we end up with a film that briefly threatened to make Swords and sandals a viable genre again. Welcome to They Don’t Make ‘em Like They Used To.

They Don't Make 'em Like They Used To - Movie Nostalgia

79. Kes, Red Sun, Gladiator

Welcome to They Don't Make 'em Like they Used To. A nostalgic radio show that looks back at pre 1980 movies, the year the host Tosin was born, and fawns over how lovely they were. The show was originally broadcast on Sunshine Radio at St. Mary's Hospital on the Isle of Wight. Regular features include BONA FIDE CLASSIC We pick an undisputed giant of Cinema and discuss it HIDDEN GEM It's wonderful, it's amazing, but I'm the only one who's seen it. This is that neglected film's chance to shine. MY FIRST TIME We ask patients in the Hospital to recount the first film they ever saw in the cinema. With an average patient age of 55, we've gotten some amazing stories of what the cinema experience used to be like. EXCEPTION TO THE RULE Some times, they do make them like they used to. We pick a post 1980 movie that holds its head high in any era.
