And in film podcast news...

Here’s Johnny post: The new episode of My Movie DNA is now available with EAST FM 88.1 107.1 DJ, quizmaster and journalist Phil Taylor. Lots of music chat in this one as we cover nearly every music-related film under the sun!

The Dambusters, The Battle of Britain, Dean Martin and Jerry Lee Lewis, Bill Nighy, Robert Duvall, Bobby De Niro, Jack Lemon, Walter Matthau, The Thing, Ewan McGregor, Hugo Weaving, Terence Stamp, Robert Redford, Paul Newman, Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci, Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney, Jimmy Stewart, Gregory Peck, John Wayne, Glenda Jackson, Dame Judie Dench, Dame Maggie Smith, Bette Davis, Lauren Bacall, Julia Roberts, Meg Ryan, Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Sammy David Junior, Laurel and Hardy… - PJ
