Our most fringe topic. Our longest episode. A deep dive into the output of French film-making duo Caroline Poggi and Jonathan Vinel. We discuss their student work, shorts and feature films and explore their influences, techniques and message. We dig deep into that last one as their work is mysterious, opaque and open to interpretation. Thanks to Phil Todd for suggesting the topic. It's t...

We discuss the golden age of this iconic genre, from the early sixties to the mid seventies. Featuring gritty unshaven central characters who might be a bad guy in an American western, but is more ambiguous, often facing down bandits or true villains, sometimes accompanied by a comedic foil. Can the panel agree on one definitive film? And why did Dave confuse Cyber Punk with Steam Punk? Full episo...

Film-maker Kenneth Anger had a decades long career and influenced other directors and was foundational in creating post war queer and underground films in the US. All this despite never making a full feature film and with a legacy of fragmentary and abandoned work. We discuss the films in the BFI's Magick Lantern Cycle collection, and consider his mythology, controversies and influence. Full links...

Our first recommendations of this series and it's full to the brim with opinions. Kevin discusses music including Sleaford Mods and the latest Wuthering Heights soundtrack, Phil reports on his trip to the Rotterdam Film Festival, and Rob discusses streaming offerings including BBC's Waiting for the Out. Dave manages to pronounce Debbie Harry but not Frog Scouts. Understandable in our opinion. Full...

NO full episode this week. Sadly, Darren Worth could not make it to discus Bruce Springsteens Nebraska. That will be episode 22 in June. We will be back next week with our first recommendations of this series. So we are using this to announce our David Bowie episodes. Three this series and three (possibly four?) in series 6.. Thanks for supporting 5282. Presented by Kevin Petch and David Benn. No...

It starts with Monty Python's Life of Brian. Ends with Nuns on the Run. And in between is just over a decade which sees a resurgence in British film-making and rise and then retreat of a small innovative film production company. All made possible by a Beatle with a passion for new talent, small productions and very silly gags. Kevin, Dave then Rob present their favourite HandMade items. And then d...

In this AI enhanced podsperience (you can tell it's going well straight away) we start our new season with an appreciation of Lou Reed. Beloved by many musicians, given massive lee way by the labels, and in tabloid terms known as the bloke from The Velvets, we pick up where The Velvet Underground left off, and discuss Lou's solo albums. As we do, we touch on mental health, addiction, Drella, fame...

For our second day of Christmas, Kevin interviews traditional folk multi instrumentalist duo The KImberleys. We recorded in the bar at Crank Studios, Morley, before they performed 'Christmas with The Kimberleys', supported by experimental folk harpist Lauren Moreau. So there's lot's of 'atmosphere', but we did edit out the coffee machine. Full links on our blog page at: https://kspetch.photiu...

Partridges, Swans and milking maids are old hat. We are bringing you Rob's Christmas horror film recommendations, with something for all tastes, and Phil's Christmas Noir, featuring hard bitten Santas and glamourous elves. I think. We have another five days of Christmas to come, which is good news if you have looked at the TV listings and thought "How do they get away with it?". Full links on our...

Two attempts and we still got it wrong. Because this coming Christmas we have FIVE* (not four as Kevin says) bonus episodes. It's more or less a mini series, but not featuring Joan Collins or Richard Chamberlain. On the 22nd, we have Christmas with The Kimberleys. Jim and Isobel are a folk duo and they are playing three gigs in December. Kevin will be interviewing them at their Morley Folk Club gi...

And so as the sun sets on series 4, we bring you Novembers recommendations. Kevin, Phil and Rob cover film, music and streaming. Plus we reflect on the passing of four very different but highly important creatives: Diane Keaton, Samantha Eggar, Ken Jacobs and Drew Struzan. Plus Dave makes a complete fist trying to pronounce ʻumikumaiwa. Links mentioned in episode available at https://www.kevinspet...

Who doesn't love a high pass filter? Gently applied to two detuned oscillators set at square wave? If this is just word salad to you, then listen to our discussion on electronic music albums of the 1970s, where Kevin and David pick three each to illustrate the development and interest in synthesizers, not all of them are too obvious. And Kevin wanders off from the '1970 to 1979' brief. In our seco...

Formed in Ukraine, now based in North Wales, tAngerinecAt link West and East, past and present. Kevin talks with Zhenia and Paul about the creative process, influences and their current album.

It's time for more recommendations, and if the multitrack recorder had not suffered some sort of end times malfunction we would have a longer episode for you. Glitches in the Tascrix did not stop Kevin, Mel and Phil discussing music, documentaries and a long running YouTube series. But the audio quality does reflect the transient nature of stability, the impermanence of reliability and most import...

Hello. We are episodeless this week. Our multitrack had a wobble, which is odd because it's only 24 years old. Dave decided against going full Fawlty so did not hit it with a tree branch. Instead he took it apart. He might put it back together in time for our next episode, which is October recommendations, out on or around the 5th October. Thanks for supporting 5282. 5282 is a Out Of Left Field pr...

Woody Allen, one of cinemas most prolific directors and screen writers. Also leading comedian, and actor in his own and other directors films. In recent years his reputation has been overshadowed by a number of allegations. In this episode we concentrate on his films, and recommend our favorites from each period of his career. We also mention a few near misses and failures. Understandably, this is...

In 1969 director Michael Lindsay-Hogg has a straightforward task. To film the Beatles at Twickenham studios as they prepare for a live television performance, scheduled roughly for a few weeks in the future. The band seem tense, under rehearsed and lacking direction. Within a month they have changed venue, direction, have added Billy Preston to their line up and have performed on the roof of the A...

We also remember Joe Caroff, Terence Stamp and Terry Reid. Links and episode notes available at https://www.kevinspetchcreative.com/news...

We had a budget of unlimited tea and a box of custard tarts. Could we create the best podcast about Heaven's Gate, the 1980 cinema equivalent of the fall of Rome (allegedly)? Or is it four blokes arguing about Stetson versus Derby hats? The four regular hosts sit down to discuss this films place in cinema history, it's behind the scenes chaos and enduring on screen mysteries. Links mentioned in ep...
