Black Museum's Aldis Hodge wants a puppy for Carrie

Friday, May 11, 2018 • Duration 35:28

Aldis Hodge (@AldisHodge) joins the podcast to talk about Jack, Carrie, That Monkey and all things Black Museum. A Black Mirror fan before he was sent the script, Hodge jumped at the chance to be part of the show.There's a light-hearted way to look at the episode: Rolo Haynes's ridiculous theatricality, Jack's new girlfriend pinning the monkey up against the wall, "our hands" [groan]. Black Museum also tackles racial politics in Trump's America: a tough subject, but an absolutely necessary one. Just look at how this week's airwaves have been dominated by Childish Gambino's 'This is America' video."The lack of understanding the pain that you're causing with the weapon you're causing it with - only to gain more for yourself personally - is exactly indicative of Rolo Haynes," Hodge says. It also sounds like how a historian might one day sum up our grimly regressive era. --Welcome to Black Mirror Cracked - the podcast for all your Black Mirror needs.We alternate between episode analysis and interviews with Black Mirror cast and crew, with a new podcast released every week.For more Black Mirror stuff, join the conversation in the Facebook group, follow us @BlackMirrorCrrr and have a read of mirror.co.uk/blackmirrorThanks for listening!Podcasts produced by Daniel Jackson (@Danoogie) For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

Black Musuem's Daniel Lapaine won't apologise for the orgasms

Wednesday, May 9, 2018 • Duration 38:28

Daniel Lapaine brings 'La Pain' to this episode of the pod for an exclusive - and raucous - interview about his work on Black Mirror. Lapaine - who shot to fame as a dreamy swimmer in 1994 Australian comedy Muriel's Wedding - has a very special place in the Black Mirror universe.He's in not just one, but two episodes. He makes a cameo appearance at the start of Season 1's The Entire History of You, on the interview panel sizing up Liam (Toby Kebbell).He returns to the show to take the lead in the first story of Black Museum, The Pain Addict, based on a short story by magician Penn Jillette. It's a performance that only works if the actor throws himself fully in - and Lapaine does, orgasm noises at a hospital bedside and all. Well, if Rolo Haynes (Douglas Hodge, who's been interviewed on the podcast) was okay with it, we're going to have to be too. Listen to our analysis of Black Museum. --For more Black Mirror stuff, follow our Twitter @BlackMirrorCrrr, join the conversation in our Facebook group or read more at mirror.co.uk/blackmirror Thanks for listening!
