the tricky second show
The first FM show! And we made it through unscathed: no swearing, no racism, and no on-air breakdowns. Unfortunately, though, we are still working the mixing desk with all the elegance of a drunken equine. But we’re getting there.
On this weeks show we reminisce about the decade that fashion forgot while discussing 80s set Adventureland, Greg Mottola’s follow-up to the hilarious Superbad. Talking of fashion, we consider the new sub-genre which appears to be the very button of fashion at the moment, the fashion film, which culminates this week with the release of The September Issue. We also discuss Away We Go, the new film from Mr Kate Winslet.
All this, plus we get our first caller, Nick Lindner, which is all the more remarkable given that we are not a call-in show. There is some tension in the studio as Graham takes umbrage with Jamie's surprise choice for most influential film of the decade. And there are some tears as we celebrate the career of the late – and almost great – Patrick Swayze.
Go on, have a listen; you’ll only be slightly disappointed
