The Xmedia Screen Show: Listen to the two latest episodes!

The Xmedia Screen Show, Xpression FM’s film and TV show, run by your Exeposé Screen editors, is still broadcasting every Thursday between 5 and 6pm. The last couple of shows have covered everything from government influence in the film industry to Jason Statham wearing a big hat in his new film, Parker. You can listen to both of these episodes via links to Mixcloud at the bottom of this article.

Regular listeners will know that they can test their film knowledge in the Quiz at the end. In the first of these two episodes, Owen and Louis continue their ongoing brain battle. In the second episode, newly elected Exeposé Screen editor, Rob, attempts to challenge Louis, a Trivia Tussle veteran. Surely it will end in tears for the newbie? Or maybe not, tune in to witness an incredible answer from Rob!

 

The first episode looks at the innovative techniques used in horror films, such as sustained point of view shots, which are utilised in Elijah Wood’s new film, Maniac. There’s also a discussion of Zero Dark Thirty controversy and an Oscars debrief (we promise this is the last time the persistent statuettes will be mentioned).

 

In the second episode linked to here, topics include possible directors for Bond 24, Iron Man 3’s latest trailer, the ‘real’ Mila Kunis and Jason Statham’s emotional state.

 

That’s right, we really do care and go for the deep subjects on the show.

 

Keep listening folks!

Faceblocked: Uni demands removal of ‘Spotted: Exeter Uni Library’ Facebook page

‘Spotted: Exeter Uni Library’ allows student to make anonymous observations about people they see in the Library

• ‘Spotted: Exeter Uni Library’ Facebook page goes viral
• Senior University management claims pages harass students and damage their career prospects
• Students upload explicit images to page, adding:  “New game. See how long you can have your balls out before someone notices…”

It’s the Facebook page everyone is talking about.

But senior University management are demanding those behind ‘Spotted: Exeter Uni Library’ remove the page, claiming that observations made about students on the page amounts to “harassment of people who go there to study”.

‘Spotted: Exeter Uni Library’ claims it allows students to “anonymously message us about that cheeky someone you’ve seen in the library, or use us to let them know that you’ve noticed them noticing you noticing them”.

The Spotted groups have gained viral popularity since anonymous students set up the page in December 2012. In less than a month, ‘Spotted:  Exeter Uni Library’ has achieved over 3,000 Facebook likes.

Students make observations about students in the library which are then re-posted on the ‘Spotted’ page. Recent posts have included: “To the blonde in leggings trying to find a place to sit on level 0, as long as I have a face, you have a seat”.

‘Spotted: Exeter Uni Library’ has recently started posting images to its Facebook page, including an explicit image of one student exposing himself at a computer desk. The accompanying text read: “New game. See how long you can have your balls out before someone notices…”

In an e-mail seen by this paper, the University claimed they would be “writing to the organisers of this site to ask them to remove it”, stating that “most people would find the idea of having their appearance, dress sense or sexual availability commented upon and shared amongst thousands of other people deeply unwelcome.”

They added: “it is also very unwise for students to leave comments since many employers now scan social networking sites and will take a view on people’s professionalism based on what they read there.”

‘Spotted: Exeter Uni Library’ continues to post student’s observations to its Facebook page.
