(I almost titled this “Get To The Twitter”)

This week (and timed nicely given some of the film choices for our podcast recently) @Dennis_Obi has put forward the topic of 80s Action Movies.

It is safe to say that the 80s became the decade when the action genre really grew into its own identity – my recent ‘Life In Film’ videos have had a wealth of them mentioned, as they became the staple genre for blockbuster entertainment. So, this week for our Movie Talk On Sunday, we will take 90s minutes and 10 questions to explore the genre, and those who made and starred in them.

Starting at 8pm on Sunday 14th March over on Twitter, to join in you simply need to seek out #MTOS and answer along as each question drops. There are no right or wrong answers – only opinions, and as fans of the FilmFile podcast will know, you can disagree without arguing.
