Like Luis Bunuel, Francois Rabelais and the Marquis de Sade, Screen Shrapnel are equally at home with the esoteric complexities of the human mind as we are with the debased shit stained gutter of mankind’s grizzly underbelly. (Well, maybe not equally.) Today we celebrate our postmodern eclecticism by discussing the high-brow humanism of Another Year, the latest film from Britain’s finest filmmaker, Mike Leigh, and the low-brow sadomasochistic delights of MTV’s No.1 export, Jackass.

Following on from the Jackass boys, the modern day inheritors of Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd's daredevil stunts, we choose our favourite slapstick moments from cinema.

The show’s also notable for the guest appearance of Chris Fyvie, the second most handsome and intelligent redheaded gentleman in Glasgow.

Go on, have a listen; you’ll only be slightly disappointed

(ps: feel free to bombard Graham Fulton with abuse for having the bare faced cheek to praise Hugh Grant's bumbling English gent shtick one minute, and dismiss the rapid-fire wit of Groucho Marx the next.)
