Hey Folks,
Two new trailers for your perusal.
First up we have Stoker, the first English language movie from Park Chan Wook, the master film maker behind Oldboy, Thirst, Lady Vengeance etc. Looks to be every bit as good as his Korean offerings.
Secondly we have the Lithuanian Sci-Fi Vanishing Waves. This ones been getting a fair few positive reviews and a couple of festival awards to boot. One to keep an eye out for.
Thanks to the folks at twitchfilm.com for the original uploads.
Enjoy.

Ninth Show (or The Movie Show is a Scientific Marvel)
Hey Folks,
Ninth show goes out live tonight 27th Sept 2012 at 20:00 GMT.
We decided for this show to tie the theme into the release of Looper, so the music tonight will be pulled from movies with a Sci-Fi theme (why sci-fi in general and not time travel, well we couldn't come up with enough tunes from time travel movies alone).
We've got a good diverse mix lined up for you tonight with possibly a bit less eighties cheese than usual (shocking I know!), we've even got a Morning Masume track thrown in for good measure, for those of you who don't have the foggiest who they are then we'll just say you're in for a treat (although maybe that's not quite the right word).
Victorian Monkey will be back with another Cult Classic review and as always we'll be letting you know what's currently out and upcoming in the local cinemas. Tune in through the BSR listen live link to the left and we hope you enjoy.

Eighth Show (or The Movie Show Goes Back To School)
Hey Folks,
Apologies for the lack of updates, its been a hectic two weeks. Anyways on to the important stuff, the next show goes out live tonight Thursday 13th Sept at 20:00 GMT.
Yet again there's not much being released in the next two weeks which we could comfortably tie a theme into, so Jim, in a rare moment of inspiration, suggested we instead link the theme into kids returning to school after the holidays. So tonight for your listening pleasure the tunes will be based off of Teen School Movies.
Now we've been pretty broad on our definition here so expect tracks from Films such as the classics of John Hughes to Horrors and Comedies . Basically if it stars teen characters and features a school we've considered it fair game.
Sad to say though, no blues track this week as none of the soundtracks included one, so I've dug out some swing instead, just for something a little different. It would have been very easy to turn this one into an entire eighties night but we've been good and avoided the urge (well almost avoided, it wouldn't be right without at least a few servings of cheese) .
Victorian Monkey (Matt D) will be joining us once again (and hopefully for every show from here on out) and will have another Cult review on hand.
So as always tune in via the BSR listen Live link to the left and let us know your thoughts either during or after the broadcast.
Enjoy the show.

Seventh Show (or The Movie Show Is Above The Law)
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.
