The Brum Picture Show Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

In space, no one can hear Nadine and Paul discuss the Alien franchise in excruciating detail. But on Brum radio, everyone can! In this very special bumper episode, we’ll be taking a deep-dive into one of the most beloved yet divisive franchises of all time. 

We’ll be discussing problematic pre-productions, difficult directors, and confusing chronologies in an episode with a galaxy of fascinating factoids and controversial opinions to delight or enrage you depending on your point of view. 

This isn’t just one for the nerds though, as we’ll also be talking about more terrestrial matters such as Jake Gyllenhaal’s shorts. So even if you don’t know your xenomorphs from your facehuggers, this episode will have something for you!

On this week’s show, to celebrate Screen B14 and The Mockingbird Cinema’s screening of Gaspar Noé’s cinematic bad trip, Enter the Void, we’ll be taking a magical

In this bonus episode we have something very special for you- an interview!

To celebrate Screen B14 and Blow Water’s screening of the 1997 romantic comedy Peggy Su, we’ll be talking to executive producer Roger Shannon, a veteran of British independent cinema.

Roger was kind enough to take the time to talk to us about a range of topics including the production of Peggy Su, the representation of cities on film, and even Isaac Hayes’s boxer shorts. How on earth did the conversation lead to that last subject? You’ll have to listen to find out. 

Recorded live on location at Blow Water Cafe in King’s Heath, complete with authentic background noise.

This week we'll be debuting a brand new feature on the show: "The Rob Reiner Test".

Alongside movie news, including an update on the fate of The Electric Cinema and Messi (the dog), we’ll also be reviewing Drive Away Dolls and the 25th anniversary re-release of Fight Club. So please feel free to break the first two rules of Fight Club and tell all your friends to listen!

Love is in the air this week as we discuss our favourite romantic films to watch this Valentine’s season. However, in classic Brum Picture Show fashion, we veer drastically off topic and wind up discussing subjects such as artificial intelligence, loneliness, and rodent-based crime.

But don’t worry, we eventually get round to talking about such heartwarming films as In the Mood for Love, Punch Drunk Love, and, most romantically of all, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. So, whether you’re a lover or a loner, this episode will have something for you!

To tie in with the release of Priscilla and Poor Things, we thought it would be appropriate to talk about our favourite “strong female characters” from cinema and whether or not this is a meaningful phrase to describe movie heroines. Spoiler alert: Not really.

Alongside reviews of the aforementioned films, we’ll be discussing the feminist credentials of Broadcast News, Kill Bill Vol.1, and Midsommar, so this is an episode sure to make everyone feel empowered! 

Note: This episode was recorded before the Oscar nominations were announced.

This week we attempt to bring some cheer to a cold and dark January by having a lovely chat about musicals! Unfortunately this somehow devolves into discussions about cannibalism and other potentially triggering topics. But don’t worry, Nadine tells a story about her cat to lighten the mood.
