We're back again with another spanking shiny episode of Midnight Video, so rip open the virtual cellophane sit back and listen to our (not so) dulcet tones.
As always right click the post's title to download or click on the archive link to the right of the screen, but the best option as everyone knows is to subscribe to the show via iTunes.
Episode 5 sees us praying and flagellating with Flavia the Heretic, absorbing and pondering over The Man from London before we cross dimensions and tumble into the realm of Gor.

Hellraiser: Bloodline (Atkin's original screenplay)
As you may have heard on the latest show I mentioned that I read Atkin's original screenplay for the fourth instalment in the Hellraiser franchise.
Whilst it's certainly not going to win any awards, it's a quick enough read and I think it's quite interesting to see how the finished product differs from the page.
Ultimately Jim and I both got something out of the film that other people might not, but like any original screenplay there's always that 'what if...' factor and I honestly believe that there were some genuinely interesting ideas that were cropped; for better or worse well that's subjective, but why not have a read and see for yourself.

Midnight Video 4
Here's another cinematic syringe in the arm for all of you film junkies out there on the interweb; Midnight Video 4 is primed and ready for absorption.
Hopefully you know the drill, but if not, right click on the post's title to download or hit show 4 on the archive tab (on the right of the page) and as always the shows are available through iTunes.
Show 4 sees us puzzling over the Lament Configuration in Hellraiser: Bloodline, then listing, cross checking, and double copying Peter Greenaway's The Falls before we round off with a healthy dose of hairspray, opulence and egotism with Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

Katz and Huyck defend the duck
Here's a little short documentary where Gloria Katz and Willard Huyck (unsurprisingly no Lucas in sight) attempt to defend their monstrosity:
'Before its time' or 'misunderstood' you say Gloria... no just appalling.

More trawling of the cyber ocean has offered these tasty morsels:

Midnight Video 3
The third edition of Midnight Video has landed. It's sunny outside again (in London anyway) so what better way to celebrate than get your sonic fanzine fix with our latest show.
As always right click on the post's title to download or click on the archive link to the right of the screen (above our names), but probably the best way to go about it is to subscribe to us on iTunes, where you could even leave a star rating and/or some feedback.
In this latest edition we fluff our feathers and back comb our hair for Howard the Duck, revel in the mistakes of injection moulding with Static and weigh up the pros and cons of possibly spending two thousand years in suspended animation in The Humanoid.
