In this special episode of the podcast we pay tribute to Burt Reynolds, who passed away on the 6th September 2018. Burt was a film star, one of the biggest of the late 70s and early 80s, who has appeared in 186 films and TV shows. He will be always remembered for the playing the Bandit in SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT films, driving around in the Firebird Trans-am, but he could do more than comedy. He could play serious in films like DELIVERENCE, SHARKEY'S MACHINE, HOOPER, STICK and THE MEAN MACHINE. We are joined by actor Ben Shockley to talk about his work and discuss what Burt Reynolds means to us.
Movie Heaven Movie Hell is a show where filmmakers Simon Aitken (BLOOD + ROSES, POST-ITS, MODERN LOVE) and Keith Eyles (FEAR VIEW, DRIVEN INSANE, CROSSED LINES) go through the A-Z of directors. Simon and Keith talk about their favourite and least favourite film from that director's body of work.
