Tipping My Fedora

James Harrison of Film Noir UK joins Sergio to preview the 2026 Film Noir Fest, which is taking place from 30 October to 1 November at the Plaza Cinema in Weston-Super-Mare.

To celebrate George’s Lazenby’s birthday I am joined by journalist and podcaster Mark Dillon to discuss the actor’s exceptional movie debut, playing James Bond in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. Quite possibly the best film in the series.

Today I am joined by Luke Deckard, co-host of the Cinema Sleuths podcast and author of the new hardboiled private eye novel, NO SAINTS ONLY KILLERS.

Today Sergio is joined by returning guest, Moira Redmond ,to marvel at the 1944 Film Noir classic, LAURA.

Paul Abbott, co-host of Hark! The 87th Precinct Podcast, joins me to discuss the 55 books in the police procedural series by Ed McBain as well as some of their film and TV versions.
