There will be countless tributes, and rightly so. But Hackman was about the work. So today, simply put on The French Connection, or The Conversation, or Unforgiven, or Superman, or The Royal Tenenbaums et al. Remind yourself what screen presence truly means.

I just discovered these guys and their reviews of 80s/90s movies - they’re really good! If you’re finding the doom and gloom of the world weighing heavily on you, have a listen and escape to the memories of happier times. @retroramblepod.bsky.social Now…

Gladiator could've been a very different film! Check out our podcast episode (ep.87) for more trivia!

True story: Sean Connery wasn't in the cast of The Hunt For Red October when filming actually began. He would join a week or two into filming when the original choice for Captain Ramius, Klaus Maria Brandauer, dropped out.

These guys are great - well worth a listen particularly if you grew up in the UK.

We've finally joined the masses and signed up to Bluesky! We're a movie podcast all about revisiting the films of our youth (basically the glorious 80s & 90s). We're simple people who are easily entertained. Available wherever you get your podcasts and also on our blog - www.retroramble.blog
