Halloween Month and a 1/2: Ep. 5 Carrie (1976)
"They're all gonna laugh at you!" We're donning our sexy 1970s tuxedos for the big prom on the latest episode of CITIZEN FRAME's "Hallowe'en Month and a Half"! In an ultimately tragic story, a supernaturally-talented girl gets tormented by her religious fanatic mother, RoboCop's partner and a young John Travolta before he started worshipping Xenu for some bizarre reason. Extremely groovy '70s fashions, hairstyles and music soon follow, along with lots of people slapping each other, "dirty pillows", and a complete ballroom blitz and massacre! Yes, we're taking a look at Brian De Palma's classic 1976 adaptation of Stephen King's debut novel CARRIE, of course -- and there will be (pig's) blood! Available on all major stremaing sites! Enjoy! #BrianDePalma #PiperLaurie #AmyIrving #NancyAllen #BettyBuckley #WilliamKatt #JohnTravolta #SissySpacek

Halloween Month and a 1/2: Ep 4 Hush (2016)
In Mike Flanagan's horror/slasher/thriller HUSH (2016), Kate Siegel plays a deaf-mute author working on her next novel in a remote cabin in the woods (never a good idea!). Things soon get stabby and bloody when Carrie White's mom and a creepy stalker man in a mask (no, it's not Ciaran or Trevor!) show up, as the director pays homage to Hitchcock, HALLOWEEN and others. CITIZEN FRAME's "Hallowe'en Month and a Half" whizzes along in style -- join us! Enjoy! *Available on all major streaming podcast streaming sites now!

Halloween Month and a 1/2: Ep 3 The Babadook
So, it appears we're now dissecting "elevated horror" on CITIZEN FRAME's "Hallowe'en Month and a Half"! In THE BABADOOK (2014), some deeply irritating kid reads from a storybook that features a monster-man that looks like Lon Chaney in LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT, said monster-man soon coming to life to haunt the boy and his mother. Then the mother has bad dreams and pleasures herself because she's sexually frustrated or something, before trying to kill her son (who could blame her?!), but it's all okay because the kid turns into Rambo and then THE EXORCIST is referenced. Join us as we discuss . . . Available from the link below and all the rest Enjoy!.

Halloween Month and a 1/2: Ep 2 John Carpenter’s The Prince of Darkness
Donald Pleasence as a priest gravely warning us about "pure evil", Old Nick's lazy bastard of a son awakening after millions of years of ancient slumber, Alice Cooper impaling someone with a bicycle frame, killer Devil-goo and time travel -- what more could you ask for?! CITIZEN FRAME's "Hallowe'en Month and a Half" continues with a look back at John Carpenter's PRINCE OF DARKNESS (1987), as the director goes Lovecraftian once more with a spot of the old cosmic horror, while also channelling his earlier ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 -- don't miss it!

Halloween Month and a 1/2: Ep 1 Pumpkinhead
Don't mess with the country folk and the old ways! It's only CITIZEN FRAME's "Hallowe'en Month and a Half", you lucky, lucky people -- and what better way to kick off this year's annual frightfest than with a look back at the classic '80s Southern Gothic/folk horror PUMPKINHEAD (1988), SFX wizard Stan Winston's directorial debut, where vengeance is soon seeked out by Lance Henriksen after a bunch of dipshit teens who look to be in their forties accidentally run over the Jerry Maguire kid lookalike thereby resulting in the resurrection of the demon of the title via a hideous old crone in the woods . . .

Statham September: Ep 5 The Bank Job
All good things must come to an end, and sadly that's also the case with CITIZEN FRAME's "Statham September" 😔 Fear not, however, avid listener, as we go out in style with Jason's return to his East End gangster roots in THE BANK JOB (2008), based on a true story and featuring lots of dodgy well 'ard cockney geezers, sleazy pornographers, bent coppers -- and an absolute tonne of well-known British soap and TV actors! Available from the link below and all the rest. (N.B. "Statham September" may be drawing to a close, but our annual "Hallowe'en Month and a Half" freak show is up straight after!) Enjoy!

Statham September:: Ep 4 Wrath of Man
Jason Statham's "silent tough guy" screen persona has often been compared to that of Clint Eastwood's (it's true!), so it feels only natural that one day he would take on the Man with No Name's son Scott, specifically in Guy Ritchie's 2021 heist movie WRATH OF MAN. Here, our man gets a new day job working for a security firm, but little do his new co-workers realise that he's very pissed off and very out for revenge, with the usual ninja moves and shoot-outs to be expected, too, of course! Join us on CITIZEN FRAME as "Statham September" continues . . . Available from the link below and all the rest. ENJOY! #JasonStaham #AndyGarica #GuyRitchie #HoltMcCallany #ScottEastwood

Statham September: Ep 3 Shelter
In one of Jason Statham's more recent releases -- SHELTER (2026) -- he plays an ex-Marine with a shady past, lying low on a remote Scottish island, trying to live the quiet life. However, after saving a young girl from drowning his cover is soon blown and Bill Nighy's rogue MI6 agents are out for payback. Bloodshed and ninja moves soon follow (obviously!) in what could possibly be described as "Action Statham" meets "Grounded Statham" via LEON. "Statham September" continues on CITIZEN FRAME! Available from the link below and all the rest. Enjoy! RicRomanWaugh #JasonStatham #BillNighy

Statham September: Ep 2 Snatch
"D'ya like dags?" CITIZEN FRAME's "Statham September" progresses in style as we look back at Guy Ritchie's crime/comedy SNATCH (2000), where our main man plays Turkish, a dodgy cockney geezer and boxing promoter who finds himself caught up with a gypsy bareknuckle fighter played by Brad Pitt and a diamond heist involving, amongst many others, Benicio Del Toro, a crazy Russian, former footballer Vinnie Jones, club DJ Goldie, Frank Butcher from EASTENDERS, and bad guy Brick Top who likes to feed his victims to the pigs and, in his own words, is a right 'orrible . . . C U Next Tuesday! Available from the link below and all the rest. "You stop me again whilst I'm walking, and I'll cut your fucking Jacobs off!"

Lecter Library: Ep 5 Hannibal Rising
On the Lithuanian-Soviet border towards the end of the Second World War, Rhys Ifans and his band of scavenger Nazi collaborators are feeling a little peckish, and a young Hannibal Lecter and his sister Mischa are on the menu, setting in motion a terrible chain of events that will result in the making of a monster. But before enacting his brutal revenge plan, the now teenaged Hannibal must first pop over to France to fall in love with his aunt and then become Doctor Ninja-man/Steven Seagal before he became a waddling dickhead! Join us on CITIZEN FRAME as we wrap up our "Lecter Library" with the preposterous nonsense that is HANNIBAL RISING (2007)! Enjoy! #ThomasHarris #PeterWebber #DominicWest #GongLI #GaspardUlliel #RhysIfans

Lecter Library: Ep 4 Red Dragon
"Remarkale boy. I admire your courage. I think I'll eat your heart." The "Tooth Fairy" is back -- and so are Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter after, for some strange reason, someone in Hollywood thought it would be a good idea to remake MANHUNTER. Yep, it's RED DRAGON (2002) up next on CITIZEN FRAME's "Lecter Library", featuring Anthony Hopkins going full-on pantomime villain, Ralph Fiennes wetting the bed and talking in a funny voice, Edward Norton looking like he hasn't slept in a week, and Mr. Wolf and Brett from PULP FICTION also popping up!

Lecter Library: Ep 3 Hannibal
"Bowels in or bowels out?" CITIZEN FRAME's "Lecter Library" continues with a trip to picturesque Florence, Italy to catch up with the good Dr. Lecter at the opera, while Agent Starling, the greed-consumed Inspector Pazzi and the depraved Mason Verger and his herd of flesh-devouring Sardinian swine are in hot pursuit! Heck, there may even be time to munch on some human brain during a snazzy dinner party! That's right, it's HANNIBAL (2001) up next, so eat the rude!

On the latest edition of CITIZEN FRAME, we're off to the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane with "Multiple" Miggs, Roger Corman and Precious the dog to check in on Dr. Hannibal "the Cannibal" Lecter as he assists the FBI in their pursuit of "Buffalo Bill", a charming gent who just happens to be making himself a lovely skin dress while performing a sexy dance to Q Lazzarus!

Lecter Library: Ep 1 Manhunter (1986)
"If one does what God does enough times, one will become as God is." "Hannibal Lecter Season" begins on CITIZEN FRAME, and before Anthony Hopkins arrived on the scene with his fava beans and Chianti, it was Michael Mann who first adapted Thomas Harris's work with 1986's MANHUNTER -- a dark, tense and stylish thriller concerning a cat and mouse chase between two deeply disturbed and haunted men, while a certain serial killer plays them both . . . Don't miss it! Enjoy! #MichaelMann #JoanAllen #WilliamPeterson #DenisFarina #TomNoohan

Falling Down
"I'm the bad guy? How'd that happen?" We may not be "economically viable" on CITIZEN FRAME, but tune into the latest episode anyway as we delve into FALLING DOWN (1993), directed by Joel Schumacher and starring Michael Douglas and Robert Duvall, a movie concerning the choices we are left to make after becoming exposed to the big lie that is modern life, more relevant today than ever before. Bleak, violent and at times darkly humorous -- but enough about the hosts! Also, somewhat ironically for a podcast on a movie about a man having a complete breakdown, Ciaran and Trevor have their own "Falling Down" moment on the episode during a major bust-up over "subtext" -- don't miss it! Enjoy ! #MichaelDouglas #RobertDuvall #JoelSchumacher #FredrickForest

Victory (1981)
"Where do I stand for a corner kick?" We're celebrating the recent World Cup on the latest edition of CITIZEN FRAME with a trip to Nazi-occupied France for a look at ESCAPE TO VICTORY (1981), directed by John Huston and starring Sly Stallone, Michael Caine, Max von Sydow, Pelė, Bobby Moore and a load of other former footballers as the Allies take on the Germans in a match that also doubles as a bid for freedom! There'll be lots of goals, overhead kicks, a nail-biting last minute penalty, and Michael Caine saying "bloody" a lot -- don't miss it! Enjoy! #JohnHuston #MichaelCaine #Pele #SylvesterStallone

Evil Dead Burn
"Dead by dawn . . . dead by dawn . . . dead by dawn . . ." Grab your chainsaws, boomsticks and Kandarian daggers as we're covering the newly released EVIL DEAD BURN on the latest edition of CITIZEN FRAME! A franchise created by Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell that is considered by many to be the most consistent of them all, but is this new entry groovy or just some sort of exercise in French extremist torture porn? We'll swallow your souls if you disagree with us! Enjoy! #SamRaimi #RobertTappert #SébastienVaniček

OBSESSION (2026)
Be careful what you wish for! Bear likes Freaky Nikki but she just sees them as good friends, so he then breaks a "One Wish Willow" to win her over, and that's when things quickly take a sinister turn as Nikki turns truly freaky with violence and gore soon following. OBSESSION is the runaway hit horror movie of 2026, but is it all it's cracked up to be, or just an old story rehashed for the twenty-first century? Listen in to the latest episode of CITIZEN FRAME to find out! Enjoy! #CurryBarker #IndeNavarratte

Disclosure Day
It's DISCLOSURE DAY on CITIZEN FRAME! On this emergency, bonus episode, podcaster turned celebrity chef Ciaran waxes lyrical about his exquisite new recipe for chicken noodle soup, while Trevor goes deep and heavy on the joys of the humble Pot Noodle and Bono's heartwarming charity work. Incidentally, there's also a review of Steven Spielberg's latest movie, but the other stuff is so much more interesting than that -- and it's a load of absolute shite, too!
