LATEST EPISODE

This time on Film Swap actor and musician George Coutsoudis joins us once again as we're diving back into some Reel Rarities with two unforgettable cult classics that prove some of the best films are the ones you've never heard of.

We begin with Kin-dza-dza! (1986), Georgi Daneliya's wonderfully weird Soviet sci-fi comedy, where two ordinary men find themselves stranded on a baffling alien planet full of strange customs, absurd social rules and some surprisingly sharp observations about humanity.

Then it's back to Earth for The Plague Dogs (1982), Martin Rosen's powerful animated adaptation of Richard Adams' novel. Following two laboratory dogs as they escape into the wilds of the Lake District, it's a moving, often heartbreaking story about survival, freedom and finding your place in a world that doesn't always welcome you.

Although they couldn't seem more different, these films have more in common than you might think. We explore how both throw their characters into unfamiliar worlds where every decision matters, every encounter is unpredictable, and the journey itself becomes the real story.

We chat about surreal science fiction, unforgettable animation, social satire, unlikely friendships, and why these remarkable films deserve to be discovered by a whole new audience.

If you're looking to venture beyond the algorithm and uncover some truly unique cinema, come and join us.
