  • Introduction
    Jul 12 2021

    A short introduction, a kind of living will where Michael and Stephen explain why anyone would want to watch and review every Michael Caine movie in chronological order (Spoiler: It's probably a cry for help).


    We talk about our love of Caine (no, not like that), our first exposure to him (no, definitely not like THAT) and marvel at how a man who's had more turkeys then Bernard Manning on the keto diet has somehow managed to maintain a career for over seventy years.

  • Zulu
    Jul 15 2021

    Caine storms upon the stage with Zulu, a film that nestles comfortably in the BFI's top British movies of all time and is a Christmas favourite for many unable to escape the allure of it's bright colours, scintillating action and the performance of that tall skinny Jagger impersonator who doesn't quite know to do with his hands, having not yet been visited by the pointy shouty fairy.


    But is it any good? Is Caine any good? Did he have a nice time on set? How strong are his bowels? All these questions and more are answered on the first episode proper of the Mark of Caine! See, we mentioned the name of the podcast! That's branding, baby!
