At the Pictures is a podcast for those who believe cinema is more than entertainment—it's an art form, and a grand, enduring spectacle. Presented in association with 1 Warwick, a private members' house in the heart of Soho—London’s historic film district—the series blends sharp critique with industry insight and a touch of dry wit. For those who see cinema as a lens through which to view the world, and prefer their commentary as considered as their company, At the Pictures is required listening.

Barbara Loden, Wanda, and Frankenstein

As the BFI mounts a season celebrating the quiet brilliance of Barbara Loden, we revisit Wanda (1970), her singular and haunting feature that slipped between the cracks of American film history. Elena Gorfinkel, curator and author of the new BFI Film Classic on Wanda, joins us to consider Loden’s legacy — and why it’s taken so long for the world to catch up. Plus: as Guillermo del Toro readies his own retelling of Frankenstein, hosts Benjamin Wilson and Dash Silva return to James Whale’s 1931 version — a lean, expressionistic masterpiece that departed sharply from Mary Shelley’s original vision. What was lost in the translation? And what did Whale, a master of stagecraft and shadows, bring to the myth?
