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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

This week we have a whole episode on Gerry Anderson, covering his early years through to 1969. Famous and obscure productions are covered, and Dave can't help saying Five, Four, Three .... and so on. We also manage some recommendations, including Malcolm McLaren and Jefferson Airplane. Note - that's Airplane. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Only one feature this week, taking up almost the entire episode. Kevin continues looking at TV series that have been adapted for cinema, with the focus on the UK. Once again we only have time for obvious recommendations, but we have plenty more recorded for future episodes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Two major features this week. Kevin tackles American TV series that have been adapted for cinema. In a future episode we will cover British TV to film. In our second feature we discuss the collaboration between Jane Arden and Jack Bond. Their films are deeply provocative, feature graphic sex and violence, and can be a very tough watch. Sadly we only have time for obvious recommendations, and two f...

The first of this seasons specials. A whole episode exploring the career, life and lasting legacy of 20's icon Louise Brooks. Kevin takes us through every stage of her life and the team discuss her films, relationships and achievements.

Barely pausing for breath Kevin and Bill continue the two features started in episode 6; Film remakes, and the film acting credits of David Bowie. Whats the deal with Nicolas Cage? What is Bowie's shortest cameo? Why does Dave go on about sequels? Plus recommendations and reviews including Nico 1988. That alone should encourage you to listen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more informa...

Our focus this week is on films. In our first feature, we consider originals vs remakes. Kevin takes us through the silent era, biblical epics, westerns and musicals. Then the focus switches to the film (and TV) appearances of David Bowie through to 1986. The second part of each of these topics will be in episode 7. In our recommendations we cover dream pop, feminist art and Baroque music. And ali...

Some recording artists are prolific, others one hit wonders. What about those who release their first and second albums decades apart or take a break? We also discuss the film career of Lindsay Anderson, the British film, documentary and theatre director famous for his satirical trilogy commencing in 1968 with 'if....'. As always we suggest a wide range of music, film and art for you to look up. A...

Episode 4 already. The panel have views, some strong, on box sets. Kevin and Bill discuss the career of quixotic musician Kevin Ayres. And Dave confirms he has never been to Poughkeepsie, in fact he has no idea where it is. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Flann O'Brien and The Pet Shop Boys compete with Ken Russell and Leonora Carrington for your attention and clicks. There are no losers, only ... er, culture. Kevin Petch and Bill Astbury discuss the alternative universe film version of A Clockwork Orange, originally slated to be directed by Russell. And the incredible talent of British surrealist Carrington is somehow crammed into twenty minutes....

Kevin Petch and William Astbury discuss albums, gigs and books. In the first section they ask were The Beatles a folk band? Surely it's a yes or no answer? In the second section they discuss the career and influence of Italian film director Michelangelo Antonioni. In between we recommend obvious and obscure bands, albums and films you might find time to listen to, watch or ignore. Hosted on Acast....

Kevin Petch and William Astbury discuss albums, gigs and books. In the first section they ask, which artists would be remembered if they had made only one album? Contenders include Captain Beefheart and Curved Air. And Kevin throws in a curve ball, to make the point. In the second section Kevin interviews Mark Sturdy to celebrate 20 years (and a bit) of Truth And Beauty: The Story Of Pulp. In betw...
