M for Mexico

Screen Shrapnel // 1100-1200 04.12.10

this week the show is brought to you by the letter

This week Screen Shrapnel is brought to you by the letter M. M for Mexico......

Its all tequila dn sombrero's in the studio this week as we shun the snow that transport ourselves to the sun-kissed wonderland that has always been a thorn in America's side. First up is our take on special effects extraordinaire Gareth Edwards' debut film Monsters...a genre-bending ride through an infected Mexico that left your favourite presenters both in a bit of a spin...

We also tackle Robert Rodriguez's Mexploitation blood and guts saga Machete, as he attempts to bring back that Grindhouse vibe that QT and him brought a few years back. With all this chuck in a Leslie Nielson tribute, our Top 3 Debut films from a director and some decent beats to accompany your Saturday morning...what more could you want?!

Next week (Sat 11th Dec) we get into the festive spirit by tucking into our Turkeys of 2010 so far. Who will make the list? Let us know your thoughts on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/pages/Screen-Shrapnel/151269701561771 Also we spit and stutter our way through our take on early awards contender The King's Speech.

Start your weekend off right by tuning in at 11am Saturday morning.
