Another monumental episode, we do keep choosing these epic topics. This time we discuss the best film scores composed by someone not called John. Each presenter chooses five composers whose work either helped create or significantly move forward the art of film music. We also offer a list of composers who made significant contributions. Kevin mentions David Bowie at least twice, there's no stoppin...

We are back with our fourth series and it's a slightly longer episode than usual. That's because Kevin, Phil and David are discussing director, screenwriter and critic Paul Schrader. And in over an hour of discourse we cover only a small sample of his output. Links and episode available at https://www.kevinspetchcreative.com/news.html We make no revenue from links or recommendations. Hosts Kevin P...

We are back with series four and Kevin is really on top of the job, just ask him what topics we have in store. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We nipped over to interview singer songwriter and multi instrumentalist Gary Stewart, at his home in North Yorkshire. Gary discusses his musical roots, solo work and the Graceland project, which sold out at York Barbican at the end of 2024. 5282 will now take a break, not to lounge on the beach or catch up on the soaps ... but to write new material and consume even more culture. Thanks for support...

Missing. White male, early 40's, answers to the name of James. Known to use advanced skills to radically change appearance and affect devastating destructive change to criminal and state organisations to further the aims of the British government. May try to evade contact using high performance cars, motorbikes and gyrocopter. Appears to be immune to punches, bullets and possibly ship to shore bar...

Our monthly recommendations and reviews episode. We discover Kevin might like helicopters but he gives Hares a wide berth, and Rob missed his calling in the military. Dave likes pizzas, even when used to promote sexual liberation through Marxism. And we spent so much time discussing Bridget Jones we could not fit in our news section, which will be a bonus episode. Episode notes at: https://www.kev...

Popular musicians and vaudeville acts were obvious choices for early filmmakers. By the 50's the studio system was ready to hoover up any rock and roll talent, presenting a deluge of 'jukebox' films. How did the phenonium of music stars turning into film stars develop from there? Kevin and Dave talk about Pop Stars In Films, looking at success, failure and of course some left field fringe examples...

When considering features for series three or four, Kevin suggested 'Is Mulholland Drive the best film of the 21st century so far', following on from a BBC poll. Listen until the end to get our take, while taking in three Yorkshiremen grappling with what on earth Mulholland Drive is about. Dave thinks it probably is not a dream but does not get round to explaining that. Very fitting. Episode notes...

Following the very sad passing of David Lynch on the 15th January 2025, 5282 considers his film output and reflects on the impact of Twin Peaks. An extra bonus episode discussing Mulholand Drive is released on the 21st February 2025.

We discuss Krzysztof Kieślowskis' 'Three Colours' trilogy from the 90's. Hailed as art house classics, what do we make of them? For our second feature we look at the career of English singer songwriter Clifford T Ward. Our opinions are divided. Three Colours . C T Ward .

It's time for more recommendations and reviews. Kevin, Rob and Dave are discussing film, streaming and music with current and upcoming releases, and a look back at a classic early 70's album. Kevin and Dave can not pronounce Uist. Or Wie Der Wind Am Ende Einer Strasse. And we say a few words on the sad passing of David Lynch.

Saturday Night Live is 50 this year. In the US it's stars are household names, and many have gone on to have impactful film careers. In this full feature episode Kevin, Rob and Dave discuss some of the most famous names SNL has featured, although we are not convinced everything they touch is gold. Or even brass. https://www.kevinspetchcreative.com/news.html We make no revenue from links or recomme...

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.

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...
