NO ENCORE
FILM CLUB #01 | Hackers (1995)
•
A change of pace this week as we introduce our new stream of Patreon-exclusive bonus content with a feature-length free sample.
Joining the already-established Album Club is the NO ENCORE Film Club, in which Dave Hanratty and ex-Le Galaxie hitman Michael Pope convene to discuss the plot mechanics, onscreen standout performances, offscreen production anecdotes, and overall pop culture legacy of a chosen film.
Unlike the currently-on-hiatus NO POPCORN, there does not need to be a music-related connection to the motion picture in question, so it’s a free-for-all of cinematic offerings - both good and bad - that take our fancy.
And so the boys kick things off in boisterous cyberpunk style with 1995 box office bomb turned cult favourite - HACKERS. A chilling vision of things to come, or a crazy swing-and-miss attempt to capture sexy technological zeitgeist and future all at once?
Dave and Michael run through the plot, soundtrack, casting, and general notoriety of a film that confounded critics yet created a die-hard community that persists to this day.
The first episode of Film Club is free to all ears. Subsequent episodes will be housed exclusively at patreon.com/noencore and will drop on the second Sunday of the month, alternating between new episodes of Album Club. If you like what you hear and want more, please consider supporting our show.
And remember; HACK THE PLANET~!

433. TOP 5 STATE OF THE NATION* ADDRESSES ft. Mark Conroy
01:58:35||Ep. 433*And the nation in question is the good 'ol US of A. As you've no doubt noticed by now, Donald John Trump is the President-elect of the United States of America. Cast aside the numerous valid and alarming reasons for this scenario not to come to pass, for it is indeed a reality once again. If you're feeling uneasy, well, you're not alone. And so NO ENCORE has no real choice but to get a bit political this week as the returning Mark Conroy takes us through his hand-picked audio that best sums up the current state of Stateside affairs right now. There's also a news section that thankfully is considerably less political, and some major personal updates, too. Enjoy? ACT ONE: Dave went to see Max Richter in concert, then later wound up in hospital. The two events are unconnected, he thinks. Meanwhile, Adam joins the fourth estate!ACT TWO (25:25): A busy news section features the passing of legendary producer and notable quotable Quincy Jones, Robert Smith's commitment to the goth lifestyle, Charli XCX's literary triumph, Olivia Rodrigo's dating advice, the rise of entertainment-focused 'cigfluencers', and awkward onstage happenings involving Morrissey and Thom Yorke.
