Another week, another half arsed attempt at a film review show from Screen Shrapnel. What do Screen Shrapnel sound like, you ask? Imagine, if you will, a Derek & Clive record with more film chat, less swearing, that’s not very funny, and you’re half way there.
This week, in between elocution lessons and casual racism, we discuss the latest film from the near infallible animation studio Pixar, muse on Shane Meadow’s semi-improvised mocumentary, Le Donk & Sorzayzee, and try not to give away the plot of Peter Strickland’s Transylvania set revenge film, Katalin Varga.
Also on this week’s show: the nation’s favourite high-brow discussion feature, The Cultural Highlight of the Week, is back by popular demand, along with a brand new theme tune; anglo-scots tensions reach fever pitch over the pronunciation of the name Carl; and Screen Shrapnel set the Women’s Movement back decades with our ignorant feminist reading of Katalin Varga.
Go on, have a listen. You’ll only be slightly disappointed.
