Twentieth Show (or The Movie Show Speaks a Different Language)

Hey Folks,
Twentieth show goes out live tomorrow Thursday 28th February 2013 at 20:00 GMT.

Originally for this one we were thinking about an Oscar's special but seeing as we'd be going out four days after the event we thought you'd all probably be a little sick of the whole thing. Plus we'd probably end up whinging through the whole show, I mean it's not as if the Oscar's are exactly relevant anyway, right?

Anyhoo after much deliberation we settled on the idea of celebrating the release of Park Chan-Wook's first english language movie, Stoker.
So the musical theme for this show will be foreign language directors who went on to work in Hollywood. We'll be drawing the tunes from their American body of work as we'd otherwise end up with nothing but canto-pop, j-pop etc. And while I'd enjoy that the other two might string me up...

Victorian Monkey's taking a bit of a side step this week and instead of the Cult Corner tying directly into the chosen theme he's going to take a look back at one of Park Chan-Wook's earlier films to give you all an idea of what the man's about.

Normal rules for the rest of the show, reviews, info on new releases etc. Tune in through the 'listen live' link to the left and we hope you enjoy.

Also don't forget to get in touch either during or after the show.
