Hey Folks,
(really should come up with a new opening, but that requires effort and I'm nothing if not Sloth-like)
Just thought I'd put up a quick guide to the show for those of you who have yet to listen in and are maybe wondering if you might enjoy two hours of our company.
Lets start with the informational side of things, we go into a bit of detail on new movies which are due to be released in the fortnight between shows as well as covering all the major films currently showing. As the show is based in Bradley Stoke (that's in the suburbs of North Bristol for all you out of town folk) we generally focus on releases that will be playing at the Vue cinema Cribb's Causeway. However we do like to branch out and so we try to include more niche films that play at venues such as the Watershed.
Obviously the content of this section depends hugely on the movies being released. We also cover recent movie news we think people will find interesting (well it would be more accurate to say news we find interesting, and as our viewing preferences lean heavily towards the genre side of things we have a bias toward those types of film).
We have a rather large tendency to become sidetracked in our discussions so most of the time we allocate for said discussions becomes more a (hopefully humorous and maybe informative) free-for-all.
We try to split the show 50/50 between talk and music and so far we think (although we're probably wrong) we have a good balance.
As to the music, you may have noticed from the previous posts we go with a theme for each show. And so for an idea of what we play here's the track listing from last show where we focused on horror movies of the mostly eighties variety:
Hard Act to Follow - Diana Devitt - Night of the Comet
Theme from Psycho - Bernard Herman - Psycho
People are Strange - Echo and the Bunnymen - Lost Boys
Dream Warriors - Dokken - Nightmare on Elm Street 3 (The Dream Warriors)
Rock On - David Essex - Devil's Rejects (yeah we know, David bloody Essex, but strangely it's a decent track, world really must be ending this year)
Rainy Rainy Day - Brownie McGhee - Angel Heart
Cry Little Sister - Gerard McMann - Lost Boys
True Faith - New Order - American Psycho
Man Comes Around - Johnny Cash - Dawn of the Dead (remake)
Space hopper - Julian Cope - Return of the Living Dead pt 2
Fright Night - J Geils Band - Fright Night
Blue Moon - The Marcells - An American Werewolf in London
Fall Guy - Rollins Band - Demon Knight
Thriller - Michael Jackson - Thriller
As you can see a pretty wide ranging mix, (although we go for a bit less cheese most show's) we try for a bit of diversity in the tunes we use. You may be wondering why there's no actual film scores in the list (except Psycho), that's because we like to use them as backing for the talky sections.
O.K. maybe not as quick a guide as I intended, but hopefully it gives you a better idea of what we're about and we look forward to you listening in.
