ISSUE #248 (Top 6, Gargoyles, Scott Pilgrim & More)

Episode 286 - Children of Men

Children of Men (2006) is one of the finest dystopian future movies ever committed to film… that no one seems to remember.  Which is weird, because it has one of Clive Owen’s best hangdog performances, and a supporting cast (Julianne Moore, Michael Caine & Chiwetel Ejiofor) that most movies would kill for.  Plus, Alfonso Cuarón directed some of the most amazing “single-shot” action sequences of all time in what should have been a sure-fire classic of speculative fiction.  Instead, this very prescient story about the world falling apart at the seams came and went with a shrug from most.  Which is a damn shame, because this movie packs a real wallop. Do yourself a favor and watch it, then listen to this very special podcast!

Children of Men: The Sci-Fi Movie That Will Blow Your Mind! | Quick Picks Reviews

‘’You wouldn't hit a man with no trousers on, would you!?’’

Buckle up, because this episode is all about the 1969 classic The Italian Job…or more specifically, its iconic, funky, and slightly unhinged soundtrack. The lads will be taking you on a joyride through Quincy Jones’ score, complete with whimsical horns, swaggering basslines, and that sweet, sweet ‘60s groove that makes you want to plan a heist (or at least dramatically walk down the street in slow motion).

From the ‘hazy summers’ day’ opening of On Days Like These (which makes you feel like a sophisticated con artist sipping espresso in the Alps) to the absolute chaos of The Self-Preservation Society (where a full-on Cockney choir reminds you that crime can be fun), Dave and Tom break down the sounds of mini-coopers, high-stakes robbery, and possibly the best traffic jam in cinematic history.

Expect dramatic (crap) reenactments of instrumental solos, terrible attempts at Cockney accents, (yes, Sir Michael Caine!) and a deep dive into why Quincy Jones’ music makes grand theft auto seem so... stylish. 

So grab your bowler hat, practice your best Michael Caine impression, and join us for a Club biscuit, Ronseal-fueled caper!

Here’s a little story about a trio of janitors. 
Might have heard they worked at a well-known film school.
They picked up a few things other than trash. 
They might hate your movie, or if drunk think it’s cool.
Every now and then they get together for a lunch break. 
Trash talk some movie, or TV, or streaming.
Rodney and Jason and Sean – they all clean halls. 
If you listen close you can hear kids screaming: Film School Janitors!

At your local top-tier film-and-TV school, these three lurk the halls… sweeping… scrubbing…mopping…

What you drop, they pick up.  But that’s not all they’re picking up.

You see, after twenty years of cleaning up after film students, they’ve learned something – most movies are garbage.

So whenever their lunch breaks align, they catch up on the latest Hollywood has to offer.

In between taking out the trash, they’re talking trash.

Rodney – Sean – Jason… They are The Film School Janitors
