A Pod Too Far
Enemy At The Gates – with special guest John Niven
Listen on
Episode notes
Watching the war movies that stiffened our upper lips, with authors Rob Hutton and Duncan Weldon. This time: Jude Law is a young Russian sniper in the somewhat messy yet highly entertaining ‘Enemy At The Gates’ from 2001. Why does Kill Your Friends author John Niven love it despite its many shortcomings? Would anyone have time for a love triangle in the middle of a war, much less a knee-trembler in an icy tunnel? Can they swerve the ’Allo ’Allo Bad Accent Factor? Or is it all a terrible pain in the Urals? Note: anyone who attempts to retreat from this movie will be shot by the NKVD.
Written and presented by Rob Hutton and Duncan Weldon. Audio production by Simon Williams. Art by Jim Parrett. Group Editor: Andrew Harrison. War Movie Theatre is a Podmasters production.
