I’ve documented my long history with The Tivoli many times during various reviews I’ve written on gigs there, but in all my years of frequenting this great venue, this was the first time that I’d ever been to ‘An Evening With’ event there, and what a fantastic guest they had with Frank Bruno. During the […]
The whole gang is together for episode 50 as myself, Chris, Ramrod and Tina chat about everything that has entertained us during May. Before we begin to tell you all about that, we start with a couple of rounds of ‘Porn The Game‘. The YouTube clip of when myself and Chris previously played it can […]
DVD: Janis: Little Girl Blue (2015) Janis – Little Girl Blue is a new documentary about the life and death of much loved hippie icon Janis Joplin. Janis was the original ‘rock chick’ that blazed a trail across the cultural landscape of 1960’s America. This documentary, narrated by musician Cat Power, is told through a series of letters […]
Blu-ray: Audition (1999) ‘To live means to approach death gradually’. Arrow’s newly restored release of Audition was my baptism of fire into Japanese horror. Made in 1999 and directed by Takashi Miike, Audition has shocked audiences with its graphic and grotesque scenes since its release and has become a critic’s favourite, winning various accolades and being listed […]
After the 2013 release of the 5 track EP ‘Knives’ (which I absolutely loved) Tigertailz were already planning a follow-up EP entitled ‘Daggerz’, but as has often been the case with ‘Tailz throughout their career, the bands future has not gone as planned due to various unforeseen events. A change of personal (something which ‘Tailz are […]
The first in a new series of shows where I chat with podcasters about their shows and the subject(s) they broadcast about. In this episode I am joined by the Podfather himself; Ken Mills from Podkisst, and also by the man with the magic voice; Matt Porter from THE KISS ROOM. We chat about all […]
Blu-ray: Every Home Should Have One (1970) Mention Marty Feldman to me and immediately a plethora of quotes from Young Frankenstein always spring to mind (I still can’t pass a horse without wanting to say “Frau Blücher” to it). For me he was a comedy genius as both a writer and an actor, specifically in […]
Blu-ray: Hired To Kill (1990) There have been some iconic opening shots in movie history; the camera panning down amongst the stars before a huge spacecraft appears from over our heads in Star Wars. Hitchcock’s masterful direction at the beginning of Rear Window which sets up all you need to know about L.B. Jefferies without […]
Dawn of the Dead (1978) is my all time favourite movie and one which I have literally seen over 100 times (a friend and I once went 24 hours watching it non-stop on VHS back in our youth). The European version of the movie (for there are many) is scored by Goblin, a band that performed […]
Blu-ray: The Zero Boys (1986) New to Blu-ray from Arrow is Nico Mastorakis forgotten backwoods stalk and slash The Zero Boys. Made in 1986 after he had already shocked and confused movie goers with the likes of Island of Death, writer/director Mastorakis goes full-on 80’s action movie here with a healthy sprinkle of hillbilly horror. Imagine […]
