The Xmedia Screen Show returned for its second episode last Thursday on Xpression FM. Just to keep listeners on their toes, Episode 2 was a snappy, thirty minute special, rather than the usual hour, easy to digest in just a handful of greedy gulps. Technical difficulties may have enforced this change but the team soldiered on, and you can listen to the show via the link to Mixcloud below.
This time round things kicked off with a discussion of HMV and its demise. Is it a shop worth saving, especially for fans of film and TV? Will we miss it? What can be done to combat the rise of Amazon and the insurgence of the internet in general into high street profits? Then the team moved on to discuss the trend of sexualisation on screen, a topical issue given the recent headlines about events on campus. Do filmmakers have a duty to ensure that sex has a purpose in the stories they tell?
Quentin Tarantino’s movies, which often contain scenes of graphic violence, also go hand in hand with controversy. The team review his latest film, Django Unchained, in considerable detail. The show ends with a new quiz feature – Owen v Louis. Who will win when these two mighty Exeposé Screen editors go head to head? Who will have to raise their game next time out?
Join us between 5 and 6 every Thursday on Xpression FM! There will be ever greater opportunities to get involved with debates and discussions.
