Couple Indemnity

For Izzy's first Spooktober choice this year, she has chosen the popular zombie comedy film Shaun of the Dead (2004) written by and starring Simon Pegg as Shaun, a downtrodden London salesman who is caught alongside his loved ones and friend Ed (played by Nick Frost) in a zombie apocalypse.
Director: Edgar Wright

In our first episode for this year's Spooktober season, Hal has gone with the famous British Folk Horror cult classic The Wicker Man, a first-time watch for us both!

The film's plot centres on the visit of a police officer, Sergeant Neil Howie (Edward Woodward), to the fictional, isolated Scottish island of Summerisle in search of a missing girl. What will he discover there?

Director: Robin Hardy

For Izzy's latest selection she has selected the historical romantic drama The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (2018), based on the 2008 novel of the same name. 
After the Second World War, Juliet Ashton (Lily James), a writer, decides to write a book about the residents of Guernsey. However, Juliet's life changes completely after she visits the island.
Director: Mike Newell

For Hal's latest selection, we have watched the highly rated 1957 Ingmar Bergman road movie Wild Strawberries, starring Victor Sjostrom as Dr Borg, an elderly emotionally-distant professor, who travels to Lund University with his daughter-in-law (Ingrid Thulin) to receive an honorary degree.

The trip forces him to re-examine past choices and his future.

Director: Ingmar Bergman

Izzy has selected the latest Hollywood blockbuster that the whole world has been talking about all summer, The Odyssey (2026), starring Matt Damon as Odysseus the Greek king of Ithaca, who undergoes a long and perilous journey home after the Trojan War and encounters mythical beings as he attempts to reunite with his wife Penelope (Anne Hathaway).
Director: Christopher Nolan
