Well here it is. Finally. After some minor technical hitches (the internet's fault not ours).
We sincerely hope that you, the listener, glean some kind of useful, humorous or at the very worst, irreverent information from our ignorant prattle. Our aim is to provide a podcast that in some kind of weird, digital futuristic way is akin to the fanzines that infiltrated the video stores and specialist magazines of the 80s and 90s ie. cut up, geeky, but most importantly heartfelt.
Simply click on the post's title to listen (or right click to download).
In this first edition of Midnight Video we introduce ourselves, run through what we hope to achieve and discuss three films that appear to have been forgotten because either the director has gone on to do bigger things (Bad Taste) or the actor has become more renowned for other films (North Sea Hijack)or the audience just didn't get what the movie was about (The Ninth Configuration).
"Movies are so rarely great art that if we cannot appreciate great trash we have very little reason to be interested in them." - Pauline Kael
Really enjoyable listen! Keep it up
ReplyDeleteGreat debut, especially love the Ninth Configuration review! Hope you guys continue, should fill the void that MM left with their infrequent episodes. Excellent job!
ReplyDeleteAnd great idea putting spoilers after credits. Saves the guessing of fast forwarding which oftentimes goes terribly wrong.
ReplyDeleteKind words chaps and highly appreciated by myself and Jim.
ReplyDeleteWill do our best to keep up the reviews and the frequency!
That was Jim's stroke of genius. Makes complete sense though. I've always hated having to forward through bits to miss spoilers, as you say it invariably screws up.
