The Xmedia Screen Show, Xpression FM’s film and TV show, run by your Exeposé Screen editors, has had a couple of spectacular specials over the past two weeks (if we do say so ourselves).
Firstly, the team did their best to ruin your Valentine’s. Sorry, I mean, enrich your enjoyment of the magical day by debating the downsides of romantic comedies. This bumper episode also featured the usual quiz, an interview with some big cheeses from XTV, a round-up of the BAFTAs and a chat about the recent trend of Hitchcock biopics.
Then, the following week, your Exeposé Screen editors ditched the guests for a cosy chat about their Oscar predictions (essentially, a more in-depth version of those printed in the last issue of the paper). Do you know which films were nominated for Hair and Make-up at this year’s Oscars? We’ll tell you, in a feature about overlooked Oscar categories. There’s a passionate rant about the wonders and limitations of the Skyfall soundtrack, and a general agreement that the role of music in the success of award winning films is under-appreciated.
The second special concludes with some (hopefully) fun ideas for TV spin-offs and an epic Oscar quiz clash between Owen and Louis. Who will win this time? Yes, you could probably guess as there’s only two of them, but why not listen in to be absolutely sure?
Remember, The Xmedia Screen Show is on-air every Thursday between 5 and 6. You can listen to the two specials, if you missed them, via the links below.

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.
