Episode 21.1 - 'Manhunter - Part 1'

(32 downloads)

Download this episode (61 min)
Due to the unwieldy length of our discussion of Michael Mann’s fantastic ‘Manhunter’ we have chopped this episode up into two parts.

Here be Numero Uno.

Can Paul get past the Eighties-ness of the score?

Is this film responsible for CSI? (and by default ‘Crime Scene; Scene Of The Crime’)

We look at all of these issues in forensic detail.

Episode 20 - 'Signs'

(34 downloads)

Download this episode (68 min)
So this week's discussion centres around M Night Shyamamalamalans 2002 sci fi drama 'Signs', starring Mel (Im not a racist) Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix. After the drunken cluster F that was the Animal House episode we reign in the drinking (a little) and discuss amongst other things can M Night Act/Write/Direct? and more to the point should he be allowed to? Mike actually defends Pauls choice of film even more than Paul does! and the boy's almost start a religous war!! As usual there's a good batch of emails (thanks to all that contributed) and thankfully, this week, no singing!!

Why is it that the dumber the film, the longer the episode?

Is there some sort of correlation?

The answer of course, is maybe.

Apologies in advance are required, as are warnings to the faint of heart.

In keeping with the subject matter, the chaps down four bottles of wine (and that is just during the show) and look at John Landis’ 1978 frathouse, guitar smashing, toilet exploding, JD swigging, Oatis Day dancin’, horse murdering, toga wearing monolith ANIMAL HOUSE.

In what is easily our most shameful episode yet (and hopefully ever) we plug some other ‘casts, sing ( I sh#t you not), answer some reader mail and pretty much do whatever seemed like a good idea at the time.

We dial down the machismo of the last few episodes by looking at the 1939 Technicolor trippy campathon 'The Wizard Of Oz'.

And somehow, I STILL think the 'Demon Knight' episode was longer.

Oh what a world, what a world...
We throw in some email discussion, and chat up the 'Watchmen' trailer

Episode 16 - 'Tales From The Crypt - Demon Knight'

(28 downloads)

Download this episode (61 min)
Nearly 2 hours on ‘Tales From The Crypt – Demon Knight’!?” we hear you incredulously ask… But yes, we managed it.

Somehow running longer than our discussion of ‘V’ (which was a three hour mini series, no less) we worship at the alter of Zane, Sadler et al, for this underappreciated comedy-horror gem.

The running time is bulked out by some seriously off topic tangents including Wii-fits, dating sites and Terminator 4.

Next week we refresh ourselves with a classic; 1939’s ‘The Wizard Of Oz’. And no, that is not the silhouette of a post-suicide little person.

Episode 15 - 'V The Original Mini Series'

(27 downloads)

Download this episode (79 min)
Do you remember the 1984 Olympics? No, neither do we, we were watching ‘V’!

This week we take a break from movies to look at the original, two-part, three hour mini series event, ‘V’ Forget ‘The Final Battle’, and TRY and forget the weekly TV show, we will remind you why Kenneth Johnson’s WW2 analogy, and love letter to the spirit of freedom deserves a re-appraisal. With a running time that befits the epic-ness of its subject matter, we ponder such subjects as; if ‘V’ had been made in the nineties (and in Canada) would it have stared Barry Van Dyke as Mike Donovan? Why don’t the Visitors just ‘ask nicely’ for all of our water? And what is to come of Kenny J’s long in development ‘V – The Second Generation’?

Come see.

And Vive le resistance!!!!

This week we take a pass at Michael Bay’s 2005 sci-fi-er ‘The Island’. Controversy ensues, and battle lines are drawn.

Is this harmless fun, or a cynical, borderline plageristic product placement-fest?

You decide

Episode 13, recorded on friday the 13th. Spooky. That does not, however, have any bearing on the content of this episode. We probably should have covered 'Friday The 13th', but our sense of thematic cohesion is a big pile of poo.

This week we (belatedly) look at the Hong Kong crime thriller 'Infernal Affairs', the inspiration for Scorcese's return to form 'The Departed'

So it’s come to this…..

Due to a tech issue (that’s actually not true, we are just rubbish) our look at ‘Infernal Affairs’ is being pushed back a coupla days, so we decide to aim for more unchartered heights of randomness by looking at a whole bunch o’ topics, with absolutely no planning whatsoever. Some content beats no content. Well, maybe.

TV shows. Sit-coms. Superheroes. Re-imaginings. DVD collections. Get discussed.

Back tomorrow with our next episode proper.

chinstrokervspunter

Join Mike and Paul (aka Chin Stroker & Punter) as they discuss a film a week from their own differing point of view. Mike is an ex film student. Paul is a punter. Sit back in fascinated horror as they discuss filmic issues as varied as justifying an appreciation of David Lynch, and the merits of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s comedy acting chops. Along the way we will be covering; world cinema, art films, why we love the 1980’s even though they sucked, straight to video/DVD, and all manner of topics that show what happens when high and low brow collide. Also expect random cult movie, genre, and other pop cultural goodness.
