Welcome to 'Matinee To Midnight' - a podcast for big screen enthusiasts.

When visiting the Roundhay Garden Cinema, Matthew's daughter Sophie suggested a programming theme for consideration: LGBTQ+ cinema. In this special mini episode of Matinee To Midnight, Simon, Matthew and Sophie come up with their matinee, prime time and midnight movies for this topic and have a brief discussion on each film selected.

If you would like to suggest a topic for programming and discussion at the Roundhay Garden cinema, do please get in touch with us and also let us know what movies you would recommend for these programming slots.

On this show, Simon and Matthew, the co-proprietors of the fictional 2-screen repertory cinema, 'The Roundhay Garden', will be discussing and recommending movies built around a particular topic.

The topic could be a genre, an actor, an actress, a director, a year in movie history or any other theme that comes to mind.

And they will each be choosing movies from the topic to programme at the cinema to fill the schedule - a 'Matinee' movie, a 'Prime Time' movie, and a 'Midnight Movie'.

This is a film recommendation show, but the movies Simon and Matthew choose to discuss are not necessarily their favourite films on a subject. They are the films that they feel are interesting and worthy of discussion - and best fit into these programming slots.
