Screen Shrapnel // 0800-0900 26.09.09
the lamentable debut of nicholas green esq.
Welcome to another hour of cinematic stream-of-consciousness cum film review show. Graham is off roaming in the gloaming this week, but fear not, stepping into his substantial shoes is Nicholas Green – self confessed misanthrope and mediocre love-maker.
On this week’s show you’ll hear some impersonations that waver between Upton Park and Hillsborough, some libelous claims against Robert Downey Jr.’s manhood and some ill informed film chat.
We open with a review of The Firm, the latest film from geezer, auteur, and ardent Danny Dyer supporter, Nick Love. Joe Wright’s awards chasing syrup bucket, The Soloist, gets chewed over and spat out. And Nick and Jamie reminisce about blood drench warrens, lagomorpha as big as dobermans, lost hedgehogs and iron giants, in our animation feature.
All this, plus a play-list that includes The Smiths, Art Garfunkel and Neil Diamond.
Go on, have a listen; you’ll only be slightly disappointed.
