Presented by Rob, Phil, Dave and Kevin.With Project Hail Mary filling the mainstream slot, Bi Gan's Resurrection occupying the fringe, and a look at The Rise and Fall of the Madchester scene, we also dig deep into folk, jazz, blues and alternative, with the likes of Holly Golightly, Katherine Priddy, Eric Bibb, Miles Davis, Willow and Gorillaz. Plus much more!Just don't ask Dave about the 10-gallon hat in the corner of the studio, which might have been left behind after our feature on Spaghetti Westerns.

  • 6. Poggi and Vinel

    01:20:26||Season 5, Ep. 6
    Our most fringe topic. Our longest episode. A deep dive into the output of French film-making duo Caroline Poggi and Jonathan Vinel. We discuss their student work, shorts and feature films and explore their influences, techniques and message. We dig deep into that last one as their work is mysterious, opaque and open to interpretation.Thanks to Phil Todd for suggesting the topic. It's the most fun we have had trying to pronounce French titles.Full links at:https://www.kevinspetchcreative.com/news.htmlWe make no revenue from links or recommendations.Hosts Kevin Petch, Phil Todd and David Benn.Produced by Kevin Petch for Out Of Left Field.Thanks for supporting 5282.
  • 5. Spaghetti Westerns

    58:52||Season 5, Ep. 5
    We discuss the golden age of this iconic genre, from the early sixties to the mid seventies. Featuring gritty unshaven central characters who might be a bad guy in an American western, but is more ambiguous, often facing down bandits or true villains, sometimes accompanied by a comedic foil. Can the panel agree on one definitive film?And why did Dave confuse Cyber Punk with Steam Punk?Full episode links at:https://www.kevinspetchcreative.com/news.htmlWe make no revenue from links or recommendations.Hosts Kevin Petch, Rob Wood and David Benn.Produced by Kevin Petch for Out Of Left Field.Thanks for supporting 5282.

    Film-maker Kenneth Anger had a decades long career and influenced other directors and was foundational in creating post war queer and underground films in the US. All this despite never making a full feature film and with a legacy of fragmentary and abandoned work. We discuss the films in the BFI's Magick Lantern Cycle collection, and consider his mythology, controversies and influence.Full links on our blog page at:https://www.kevinspetchcreative.com/news.htmlWe make no revenue from links or recommendations.Hosts Kevin Petch, Phil Todd and David Benn.Produced by Kevin Petch for Out Of Left Field.Thanks for supporting 5282.
