peeping shrapnels
Critics are morons! They couldn’t spot a classic if it rammed a tripod spike into their jugular. Take recently rereleased classic, Peeping Tom, a film so derided upon its original 1960 run that it effectively ended the career of Michael Powell, its director. On this week’s show we try to right some similar wrongdoings by choosing our top three misunderstood classics.
Also on the show we discuss the unstoppable Tony Scott and his cinematic love affair with Denzel Washington – their latest unholy collaboration, Unstoppable, being the sixty-ninth film they’ve made together. Once a year these two Hollywoods giants collide for frantic, passionless, meaningless sex. Tony and Denzel may be having fun, but it’s we the audience who have to witness the results of these perennial tryst – grotesque, deformed, mutated creatures such as Man on Wire, Taking of Pelham 1, 2, 3 and, unfortunately, Unstoppable. Time to start using protection boys.
