the sound of music
Welcome again to Subcity’s best (and only) film review show, Screen Shrapnel.
The tenth month of the Gregorian calendar marks the beginnings of a strange limbo in the film world: an unpredictable period between the high-octane blockbusters of the summer months and the award chasing art-house pictures of winter. The cinematic releases of October are the waifs and strays of Hollywood; they are the unlabelable and the unwanted. And it is our job at Screen Shrapnel to let you know which of these mongrels deserve a loving home and which need a lethal injection.
On this week’s show we tell you the truth about chubby little fatman Ricky Gervais’ latest vehicle, The Invention of Lying. We review Pandorum, a deep space dystopia with an aesthetic that’s somewhere betwixt Alien’s Nostromo and a Prince video circa 1985. And, despite Nick’s protestation, we take a look at the remake of Alan Parker’s 1980 crime against fashion, Fame.
Those brave enough to listen will also hear the debut of our new, brilliantly conceived feature called The Cultural Highlight of the Week. You can also savour some a cappella singing from Nick and hear Jamie’s emasculating confessions of cowardice in the face of a couple of Glaswegian Vicky Pollards.
These are the piercing sound fragments of Screen Shrapnel. Prepare to be underwhelmed.
