Midnight Video 34
Show 34 sees us return to the old format after our birthday shenanigans, which we sincerely hope you lovely listeners enjoyed.
Jerzy Skolimowski's The Shout features Alan Bates, John Hurt and Susannah Yorke in a singularly surreal take on the home invasion genre, taking in aboriginal folklore, cricket and experimental music.
The listener's Herzog vote saw Woyzeck triumph. Just what did we make of Kinski's pea diet and shaving skills?
Rounding things off is 1995's Powder featuring the talents of Seth Brundel and Young Indiana Jones directed by Victor Salva, yeh, that guy.

Midnight Video 33 1/3
As promised our 1/3 part of the 33rd Birthday Special is here.
David Cronenberg's adaptation of Stephen King's The Dead Zone was the listener's choice of Cronenberg films for us to review. Christopher Walken finds himself awakening from a five year snooze with the ability to see future events, but what kind of effect will this power have on him and those around him?

Midnight Video 33: Birthday Special
Well folks, it's been one year now since we started Midnight Video and by Jove we're still here. It's been great to see the download numbers rise steadily and we just wanted to say a big thank you indeed for letting us into your ears and the darker recesses of you subconscious. Hopefully we've planted some cinematic seeds in there that will germinate and force you to search unceasingly for more movie oddities that need to be seen, heard and digested.
Anyway as it's our Birthday and being the type of people we are, we though we'd do something a little different, dare I say special, for our Birthday show. So shunning the medium which got us here in the first place, tonight we'll be delving into literature, comic books and music.
First up, Roger Moore's diary written during the making of his debut Bond, Live And Let Die. We take a look at Roger Moore as James Bond.
Sticking with the written word we add some pictures and dissect Norwegian cartoonist Jason's comic book Why Are You Doing This?
And then we finish things off by avoiding invaders from Mars and a religious turn from Thin Lizzy's lead singer in Jeff Wayne's Musical Of The War Of The Worlds.
