In the last episode for 2024 we discuss the films of Bong Joon-Ho and the recent Blu-ray release of Red Light Bandit. Joon-Ho probably came to western attention with Snowpiercer, his end of the world on a super train movie. Then in 2019 Parasite received four Oscars, in what some people saw as a tough field. But did we? And a quick warning, when discussing Parasite we do give away vital plot eleme...

Ah, Christmas, when ones mind turns to Norman Bates. Or at least it does if you are Rob Wood. In this episode he recommends some slightly alternative Christmas films. Kevin has two bites at the cherry with top albums and top films of 2024, and Dave puts in a word for Chasing With Connor and the protomolecule. More seasonal than a mince pie and full of festive cheer we have finally cracked this rec...

Did you grow up in Britain in the 1970's? Were you exposed to highly inappropriate programmes and books, which have left you scarred for life? No this is not another look at video nasties, but the phenomenon of Hauntology. We discuss it's origin, possible meaning and look at just a very small number of extraordinarily weird TV and books adults thought would improve young minds. Hosted on Acast. Se...

The Apollo program put man on the moon, advanced science and technology and changed the course of human history. As NASA announces another delay in its plans to return to the moon, we look back at the movies and documentaries inspired by One Giant Leap. https://www.kevinspetchcreative.com/news.html We make no revenue from links or recommendations. Hosts Kevin Petch and David Benn. Produced by Kevi...

In this bonus episode we look at one particular Crime Movie from the 1970's. We concentrate on plot, direction, cinematography, character development and significance. Kevin insisted that we should not speculate if the horse was part of a crooked gambling syndicate. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_godfather https://www.kevinspetchcreative.com/news.html We make no revenue from links or recomme...

Derelict British warehouses, seedy New Jersey bars, the cornfields of Kansas. All haunts of tough guys and embittered cops. Any minute a car chase or gunfight or bout of very British swearing might break out. In this episode Kevin and Rob pick their favourite crime films of the 70's, but it's a rich decade and we can't cover everything. In our bonus episode 4b we wrap things up, but do we nail Mr...

We have finally worked out the best way to bring you reviews and recommendations. One episode a month dedicated to the old, new, mainstream, popular and decidedly fringe culture. In this episode we discuss gigs, music releases, film and streaming TV. It ranges from MI5 officers too preoccupied by threats to the state to have a shower, to late 70's German synth angst. Plus Kevin says exactly what h...

In this first episode of series three we interview Americana musician Curtis Eller. We then discuss the career and discography of British post punk band the The. https://www.curtiseller.com/ https://www.thethe.com/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Contrasting features this week. We start with Cosgrove Hall, the decades spanning British Childrens TV company, with a magnificent catalog of work. We then reflect on the career of cinematographer and director Nicolas Roeg, going beyond his most famous films. The question is, which films can all three panelists unanimously recommend? https://www.cosgrovehallfilmsarchive.co.uk/ https://www.bfi.org....

After a brief break we return with series three on Monday 11 November 2024. Features will continue to cover the far reaches of popular and fringe culture, plus on the last Monday of each month we will have a full episode of recommendations and reviews. Thanks for following 5282. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Series 2 comes to an end with two contrasting features. Firstly we discuss who will be the next Bond, reflecting on how little Eon Productions have acknowledged. Then we consider the film career of film director, critic and theorist, Germaine Dulac. The episode ends with a brief reflection on our fellow and much missed co-presenter, William Astbury. Thanks for everything, your Lordship! Hosted on...

In the first section we conclude our look at science fiction films, covering 1972 to 1982. It does not occur to us to ask 'Who would win in a fight between an armed ape on horseback and a Xenomorph?' But in our second section we do try to nominate the most important and influencial science fiction film of 1952 to 1982.... or is it all time? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more informati...

New presenter Phil Todd joins Kevin and Dave to discuss Romanian film director Radu Jude, focusing on his award winning 2023 motion picture, Do Not Expect Too Much From The End Of The World. Then Kevin and Dave catch up on recommendations, reviewing upcoming albums from Curtis Eller's American Circus, Public Service Broadcasting, and an album from Evelyn Glennie's back catalogue. Hosted on Acast....

As if Merch was not big enough, now we look at Science Fiction Films from 1952 to1982. This first part tackles the first 20 years. Episode 12 will air Part 2. The team pick two important films for each decade. Kevin goes strong with Vampires in Space, Rob admits it really is full of stars, and Dave completely forgets to mention Forbidden Planet is the first film with a wholly electronic score. Hos...

In a change from our planned episode, here is the second part of our discussion on Merchandising. We broaden out slighty to discuss video games along with FIlm and TV, covering the 80's up to present. The ebb and flow in popularity of various franchises is considered, and we look forward to what comes next. Warning - we don't know. We could get very rich if we did. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/p...

Action figures. Lollipops. Wallpaper. Jim jams. Bleach. And so much more ...... The world of promotional merch is all pervasive and it's history fascinating. We discuss the history of how 'they' sell us something and then sell us some more associated things from the earliest (very early) beginnings, concentrating on Film and TV up until 1979. In our second part, out in two weeks, we bring the topi...

The underappreciated musician Annette Peacock is the topic of our first feature. Often referred to as a 'synth pioneer' there is so much more to her career. But did she set up her own label? You bet she did, and Labels owned by artists is our second topic. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode we firstly go through the extraordinary career of actor George Lazenby. You may know he was James Bond in just one film, before famously walking away. But what else did he appear in, and did he regret never returning as the worlds most famous secret agent (sorry Smiley). Then we chat about an infamous moral panic in the UK - the threat, real or imagined, posed by Video Nasties. An...

In this special episode Kevin interviews Leeds creative Ste G, about bands, poetry and a super villain with a heart of yolk. Then Ste G performs The Time Is Now especially for 5282. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Avoiding any 'fangs' gags, Kevin and Bill tackle one of the cornerstones of horror in film - the vampire. We look at the influence of Bram Stoker, films that avoid his characters entirely, and reflect on how blood suckers are used to terrify, amuse and arouse in the 20th century. It's a full episode so once again no recommendations - one day we will get back to those.... Hosted on Acast. See acast...

In this second look at the career of Gerry Anderson, we discuss his move into live action in the early 70's, bigger budget productions and the return of various types of animation. And reflect on his impact and legacy. No time for recommendations this episode, it is Gerry all the way. And apologies for being a week late, Dave had Man Flu, letting everyone down, especially The North. Hosted on Acas...

Someone once said to Dave "The Rolling Stones are culturally but not musically important". Is this true? And all three of us give our tribute to Damo Suzuki who sadly passed away early in 2024. Plus we offer a couple of recommendations. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

5282 returns, with topics at the heart of what we love. We begin with a brief (according to Bill) look at Counter Culture films. Do they give any insight into the Counter Culture of the late 80's and early 70's, or even now? And we look at the career of director and screenwriter Sally Potter. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hello, just a quick word to say we are busy putting series 2 together. And until then every week we will be publishing bonus extended features and material that did not make the edit. Plus we are getting the hang of asking for ratings, reviews and even donations to keep us ticking over. Head to www.kevinspetchcreative.com/news.html to listen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more informa...

Our last episode of our first series. We did have an interview lined up, however that will be in series 2. So we close with a discussion about the period of history we are most interested in, the incredible decades from 1952 to 1982. Kevin discusses his psychedelic side, and Bill reveals a phobia of coffee bars. David makes a basic mistake confusing Vandellas and Mandelas. But it definitely is not...
