Fred Asquith On Film

This week on FoF we sit in a sprinkle of rain and a gentle breeze as we review the new WW2 movie Pressure, attempting to contextualise its achievements and drawbacks alongside its peers.

I also give you my honest feelings about what I'm calling "The IMAX Bubble" - is the growth sustainable? PLUS I run down what pre-1960s movies I've been diving into recently in what I'm calling my Black & White movie era*.

We finish off with 3 really fun Hot Takes from YOU, the lovely FoF listeners. Timestamps below.

* For any Pulp Kitchen listeners thinking I copied their segment on Black & White movies, as you all know they’re good friends and I told George (host) about my B&W journey last week at a screening. I’d already recorded this episode. He asked me if he could also use it for a segment with an upcoming guest. I said yeah. Long story short - it was my idea, and therefore IT’S WAR! Jk. Check Letterboxd for my log dates of movies I’m discussing too for further proof it’s been a long time in the making.

This week on FoF we dive into the freshly ripened programme for the London Film Festival 2026. I run you through some top gala screenings and movies I'm personally excited for. That's after, by the way, I've already told you about my new GIANT TV and passed comment on the announcement of a Days of Thunder sequel.
We then tackle a triumvirate of reviews with The Death of Robin Hood, Leviticus and I Want Your Sex, before finishing off with a couple of your voice note hot takes. Timestamps below.
