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

The Xmedia Screen ShowXpression 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!

The Xmedia Screen Show – Episode 2

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.
