    S2 Ep 14: More than a Trim
    Apr 30 2023

    True to the episode title, in the interests of time saving, the album review was cut this week.


    Instead, we simply discuss Sidney Lumet's 1965 film 'The Hill'. A Short and sweet episode then? Well, it's short at the very least.

    We're back with our inconsistent upload schedule so expect an upcoming flood before a drought. Todays it's Jordan Peele's debut film Get Out and danish singer songwriter Agnes Obel's 2016 album Citizens Of Glass. Spoiler alert, there's some unexpected takes but disappointingly few arguments between Andy and Mark. Sure that'll be corrected in the future

    GEEERRRYYYYYYY.


    The elusive Si sneakily beams aboard to join Mike ( renowned service station dvd thief/opportunist) and Mark (perhaps still a touch hungover but hiding it well) to discuss Wolfgang Petersen's 1985 flick 'Enemy Mine'. Seminal sci fi classic or shonky B movie?


    Recorded late in the evening, perhaps the ramshackle conversation that ensued is befitting of it's subject matter.

    S2 Ep12: The James Milner of Albums

    The boys are back again. (They were actually back a while ago but the scheduled release of this episode never happened. Oops).


    The episode? Andy's picks. The film is 1973's 'The Day of the Jackal' and the album is 'Masterpiece' by Big Thief. With a name like that, it's just begging for a middle of the road evaluation right?

    It's fair to say we're pretty rubbish at sustaining regular Screen and Needle podcasts. Sorry about that! Clearly, the logical thing to do when struggling to put together one podcast is throw another cheeky little side one into the mix...

    Here, Mark is joined by his cousin Mike (and maybe Si, if he ever shows up) to discuss, of all things, a movie. I know. HOW ORIGINAL. This week? A western. 'The Big Gundown'

    The film this week is The Trial, a surreal dystopian Kafka fantasy directed by Orson Wells and if you couldn't guess it's a Mark pick. The album is Uma Noite Romântica by João Borsch, an album that only us and 6 other people have any listened to. Never say we've not got our fingers on the pulse of popular culture!

    Wills picks this week and it's a little out of the box. The tollywood worldwide hit RRR and Louis Cole's newest album 'Quality Over Opinion'. We're actually sticking to a regular release schedule for a while so listen to this and stay around for more!

    Andy's picks today and the screen element is a nostalgic pick. The film is not a film, it's the 1985 BBC series Edge of Darkness, starring the brilliant Bob Peck. The album is more current with Arctic Monkeys new album The Car, a band who are maybe outside of our wheelhouse but does it do enough to win us over with a new sound?
