Spin this
Season 6, Ep. 21
•
Me and our Joe put on a little fill-um and enjoy life a little bit more because of it, even if Graysome White is in it
This sweet and uplifting Irish road movie from filmmaker Michael Head (Bermondsey Tales: Fall of the Roman Empire) packs in the laughs as it follows Dermot (Brenock O’Connor) and Elvis (Owen Colgan), two music lovers who run a struggling record shop in Omagh, Northern Ireland.
Facing an unpaid rent bill and their vicious landlord Sadie (Derry Girls’ Tara Lynne O’Neill), who’s eager to get them out of her building, the pair stumble across a deal too good to be true: rare, vintage records of blues legend Robert Johnson for sale in Cork at a knock-down price. If they can make it to the other end of Ireland in time, then maybe they could get the rare vinyl, and save the shop…
With just two days to get there the pair head off in a rusty Vauxhall as old as the hills. As they navigate their beautiful journey, they meet locals and make new friends along the way.
A fun and off-the-wall buddy movie, The Spin is based upon a semi-autobiographical short story by Omagh music star Mark McCausland (The Lost Brothers, The Basement, McKowski). McCausland also provides the film’s beautiful folk soundtrack.
Alongside O'Connor, Colgan and O'Neill, The Spin also stars Pussycat Dolls' Kimberley Wyatt as well as Maura Higgins (formerly Love Island & I'm A Celeb) who makes her feature length acting debut. The film also includes cameos from Irish music royalty, Barry Devlin (Horslips) and Steve Wickham (The Waterboys).

17. Dogma, Kevin Smith & Partying like it's 1999
52:30||Season 6, Ep. 17We're covering a film that lots of people have probably seen but not in this high a quality. The 25th anniversary of Dogma is being celebrated with a 4K release of the best (?) Kevin Smith film, now that he's got the rights back. Me and Captain J watch it and talk a little about the impact Kevin Smith has had on out worlds... it's not just that one scene, honest. Also as I thought there wouldn't be too much to talk about a film everybody has seen, I knocked up a little quiz about the year 1999 and, snuck in quick quiz of 'Are you an UN-ALIVE?" turns out there was a fair amount to talk about, and even then I don't think we even scratched the surface of what a wonderful film this was and still isDogma is showing in theatres around the place and probably getting every possible physical release you can think of, with multiple bonus features.

16. Nona is a horror show
44:28||Season 6, Ep. 16It's spooky season, so I handed the reigns of the show over to Nona, the person who digs through trash dumpsters for horrendous horror films, and challenged them to give me 3 decent ones that may have been overlooked. I do my best co-host impression by adding in things they remind me of, or random films that come to mind.Contributions from the socials also give us some fairly obscure movies you might want to note down and, take a little looky at.Films coveredDeathgasmThe Loved OnesManiacMurder PartyDust DevilThe Company of wolvesThe Sentinal Vampire Girl vs Frankenstein Girl Revenge of the Surfboarding Killer Bikini Girls Shutter Island? &The GateA welcome mention of "Todd and the Book of Pure Evil" (Sh*t Roosters unite) and the usual Gillian Anderson worship round off the show.LINKS!
