Hey Folks,
The seventh show goes out live tonight Thursday 30th August at 20:00 GMT.
To tie in with the upcoming releases of 'Dredd' and 'The Sweeney', the theme for this show is Cop Movies and we've got tunes lined up from from the sixties all the way up to today (with the usual pit-stop in the ol' decade from hell).
Also joining us tonight will be another monkey, Victorian Monkey in fact (aka Matt D), who will be providing the first installment of a new segment entitled 'Cult Corner', in which Victorian Monkey will be reviewing a cult film from yesteryear which ties in with the chosen theme for the show.
Hopefully with the new monkey onboard we can start sounding at least a little more knowledgeable.
Anyways usual rules, tune in via the 'BSR listen live' link to the left (while I remember, we will finally be switching to FM transmission in the new year, so it will be easier for you folks to listen in) and we hope you enjoy the show.

British Film Registry
Hey again Folks,
Another item we mentioned tonight was the newly formed British Film Registry. This is looking to replicate the function of the National Film Registry over in the states which each year archives important American films and acts as a sort of chronicle for American cinema through the ages.
Now you'd have thought that the BFI would have set this up years ago, but no, and so the good folks over at whatculture.com are, from what I can tell, setting it up themselves. So head on over to :
http://whatculture.com/british-film-registry
and get voting for your top five British films, as well as your top two British film personalities.
This is something that I believe will become very important in years to come.

George lazenby and the case of the missing Email
Hey folks,
We mentioned George Lazenby on the show and neither Jim or myself were able to think of any movies other than Bond in which he starred.
One of our regular listeners Matt D responded to this letting us know that ol' George appeared in three Raymond Chow flicks including 'the Man from Hong Kong' with the legendary Jimmy Wang Yu, as well as appearing in a shitload of Emmanuelle films. Unfortunately due to the 'wonders' of the interweb thingy the email didn't get to us until after the show, which is why I've mentioned it here.
And I have to say I'm rather embarrassed here due to actually owning 'The Man from Hong Kong' on vhs. I reckon all my film knowledge must be getting pushed aside and replaced with Anime trivia, really must do something to rectify this.
Anyways thanks to Matt D for putting us right and next show we should sound at least a little more knowledgeable as Matt will hopefully be joining us as a regular guest reviewer focusing on cult classics that tie in with each shows theme.
Cheers for listening in tonight and we hope you all join us again next time.

Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning - Trailer
Hey folks,
Seeing as the theme for the next show is focusing on the cast of The Expendables 2 I thought I'd share the new trailer for Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning, as it features Van Damme, Lundgren and the current undisputed greatest western action star, Scott Adkins (if you don't know who Adkins is then shame on you, get yourself onto Youtube and do a search for some of his fight scenes), all of whom feature in Expendables 2.
The movie comes from the same team who brought us the previous installment in the Universal Soldier franchise which was quite surprisingly a decent little flick, so hopes are high that this will be up to the same standard. Judging by the trailer those hopes might well be confirmed.
Anyhoo check it out and hopefully this might be the beginning of Scott Adkins being offered slightly higher profile leading roles, until some forward thinking producer finally has the balls to cast Adkins as the main protagonist in a much, much bigger production.

Sixth Show (or The Movie Show's Call to Action)
Hey Folks,
The next show will broadcast live Thursday 16th August at 20:00 GMT.
I was going to go with 'the movie show is not expendable' as the secondary title for this one, but I quickly decided that no good would come of baiting the God's (also known as our Station overseers).
Anyways as you've no doubt deduced from the use of 'expendable', this time the theme will be based around the impending release of The Expendables 2, or to be more accurate, its cast.
Obviously there's a fair body of work to draw from here but rest assured only the most deserving tunes will make it onto our play list. Well, almost all the most deserving tunes, this is the Movie Show after all, and no show of ours would be complete without another descent into the nine circles of eighties Hell.
So usual rules apply, tune in via the 'BSR listen Live' link to the left and we hope you enjoy (or at least tolerate) our inane ramblings, movie preview/news and as always the diverse mix of music.
Oh, also, I'll try to be more awake this time ;)

Morning Re-broadcast
Hey Folks,
seems that for the foreseeable future the show will be re-broadcast the following day from 08:00 -10:00 GMT. So if you missed the live broadcast the evening before its a perfect opportunity to catch up, or if you caught the show, a chance to relive the glory.
We would just like to point out though, that this mornings broadcast was cut out halfway through the majesty of 'Lesbian Seagull' and that we were in no way responsible for the excruciatingly awful Grease track that replaced it.
Also we'd like to take this opportunity to apologize for the delayed start of last nights broadcast. The circumstances of which were beyond our meager control.
A big thank you goes out to our colleague Charles, who at the last minute, when all hope was lost and thinking nothing of his own safety stepped into the breach and produced the show. He truly saved our asses.
Incidentally, not only is Charles a peerless producer, he is also a mighty fine presenter and you can catch his show every Saturday evening here on Bradley Stoke Radio. Chances are if you like the diverse range of tunes we ourselves play, you'll enjoy his show.
Anyways, thanks for tuning in and we hope you all have a good relaxing weekend.

ITS TRAILER TIME!!!!
Hey folks,
couple of new trailers hit the web this week, so I thought I'd share the more interesting ones with you all.
First we have not one but two Skyfall trailers:
Next up we have Liam Neeson returning to kick more behinds in Taken 2:
Followed by the very promising looking Killing Them Softly, starring Brad Pitt:
And finally a little bit of spooky for you in the trailer for Silent Hill: Revelation:
Check them out and let us know which ones you think you might catch on the big screen.
Thanks to the folks over at http://twitchfilm.com/ for the original posts.

Fifth Show (or The Movie Show Gets Animated)
Hey Folks,
the next show will be broadcast live tonight Thursday 2nd August at 20:00 GMT.
As we mentioned at the end of last show (and as I'm sure you can guess from the title), tonight we'll be focusing on tunes pulled from animated movies.
Now thankfully Jim has seen the light and we'll be avoiding anything from Disney and Pixar and will instead be focusing on lesser known and older titles, as well as chucking in a few Anime tracks (about bloody time) and a couple from more recent flicks.
So expect our usual diverse range of tunes with a healthy dose of yet more eighties cheese (we do like our cheese), and as always we'll be keeping you up to date with the latest cinema releases and movie news.
Sure you all know the drill by now, listen in through the link to the left and don't forget to get in contact to let us know your thoughts. Happy listening.
