Cabin at the Movies Saturday 17 September 2026

My guest this week is John Wills from the University of Kent. John reflects on the films that influenced him growing up - including the very first film he ever saw at the cinema and his time working in a video store in the 1990s. Plus, there are reviews of the latest releases including Hamnet, Song Sung Blue, and The Housemaid.

KMTV Kent Tonight Thursday 15 January 2026

On this week's Kent Tonight I joined Ollie to talk about V for Veganuary, and as well as talking about plant-based films I sampled vegan and meat-based food to see if I could actually tell the difference. As you can see, I didn't do very well! It was great fun.

Hamnet (Chloé Zhao, 2025)

‘Hamnet’ is an extraordinary film because, although on one level it’s about William Shakespeare (Paul Mescal), it’s far more interested in his wife Agnes (Jesse Buckley) – and in the way love and loss can be channelled into an artwork of enormous cultural power. Agnes is viewed by her community as something like a witch: she can read people’s life-force through touch, and there’s a distinctly pagan, folk-mystical quality to her character....

Labyrinth (Jim Henson, 1986)

This is a film I first saw on Christmas Eve 1989, and I vividly remember watching it while listening to a Phillip Schofield Christmas Eve special on Radio 1. It stayed with me for years, partly because of its sheer oddness, but also because of the central performance by Jennifer Connelly, who plays Sarah as a kind of hybrid figure – part Dorothy, part Alice in Wonderland....

Giant (Rowan Athale, 2025)

On the surface, ‘Giant’ looks like a familiar sports drama, but it’s doing something more interesting than that. It tells the story of British boxing champion Prince Naseem Hamed (Amir El-Masry) and, crucially, his relationship with his Sheffield-based trainer and manager Brendan Ingle (Pierce Brosnan), who spotted his extraordinary talent when he was still a young boy and believed he could go all the way....

The Commuter (Jaume Collet-Serra, 2018)

This is an absurd but hugely entertaining film which – pun absolutely intended – goes off the rails repeatedly, both literally and metaphorically, yet somehow keeps you watching right to the end. Liam Neeson plays a man who has taken the same commuter train into Manhattan every day for years. When he’s suddenly made redundant and dreading how to tell his wife, a mysterious woman sits opposite him and offers a large sum of money if he’ll carry out a “simple” task: identify someone on the train....
