35th Show (or The Movie Show In Durs 2: Rise of Durs)

Hey Folks,
The 35th episode of the Movie Show broadcasts live tonight Thursday 29th August from 20:00 GMT.

As some of you are no doubt aware, and others may have caught on from the post title, tonight sees the return of the legendary Richard 'Durs' Dursley to the hallowed halls of BSR.

Rich has kindly agreed to fill in for the absent Jimmy D and will no doubt bring a touch of class and intelligence to our usual proceedings. I'm sure he'll have some of his patented reviews (minus the more 'flamboyant' wording) lined up for you all and we'll also be catching up on how his feature debut 'Annette' is progressing.

Obviously no Cult Corner this week as we have The Durs, normal service for the rest of the show, previews, reviews, mind-numbing Banter etc.

Tune in via the play icon under the 'Listen Live' heading on the side bar or head on over to www.bradleystokeradio.org.uk.

You can also join in the event over on facebook (cheers to Rich for setting it up, he's better at promoting us than we are ourselves!).

34th Show (or The Movie Show in Revenge of The Monkey Overlords)

Hey Folks,
the 34th episode of the Movie Show goes out live tonight 22nd August at 20:00 GMT.

Bit of a strange one this, as some of you will be aware we had to cancel last weeks show at the last minute due to Jimmy becoming a father for the umpteenth time and as a result he's taken a bit of paternity leave. So tonight's show will be brought to you by the awesomeness (um...) of the Two Monkeys.

Could go well, could be catastrophic. Tune in to find out.

Tonight's theme is the one we had lined up for last week to tie in with the release of 2 Guns, so Buddy Movies is it.

As per the course we're sure our definition of a what constitutes a Buddy flick is quite different from the norm so expect a few surprise choices.

Victorian Monkeys got another Cult Classic lined up and it's one I've not seen in a very long time and barely remember so I'll be playing Jimmy D's role of the ignorant one this evening.

Lots of releases to catch you up on and a few reviews thrown in as well. Tune in by clicking the play Icon below the Listen Live heading to the left, or alternatively head on over to the new BSR website:

Hope you all enjoy, should be an amusing one (not for the right reasons of course).

32nd Show (or The Movie Show Rides The High Plains)

Hey Folks,
The Movie Show Episode 32 goes out live tonight Thursday 1st August at 20:00 GMT.

Apologies for the lack of updates lately but as you can no doubt tell from the sudden increase in the frequency of which our show goes out there's been a lot going on behind the scenes.
In regards to the increase in shows we will be going out weekly for the foreseeable future. Double the fun!

Anyways on to the important stuff, tonight's show (after many months of badgering by the Victorian one) will be themed around Westerns. So we''ll have some Good, Bad and Ugly (weird) tunes for y'all (and yes blame Jimmy D for that ridiculous pun).

Reason for this frontier expanding show is to tie in with the release of  'The Lone Ranger' which is due out on the 9th, so we thought we'd cover it tonight as many Cinemas are screening previews of the film on the 5th, but as Fate always likes to give us a good kicking, no cinemas in Bristol are taking part. Typical...

Anyhoo we thought we'd stick with the theme anyway. Gotta keep that Ol' Monkey happy.

As always we'll be unloading our six-shooters of knowledge and keeping you informed of current and upcoming releases as well as reviews of the previously mentioned 'Lone Ranger', also 'Only God Forgives' and 'Red 2'. Cult Corner this week ties in with 'Lone Ranger' and is one hell of a weird flick. Victorian Monkeys got his work cut out for him on this one.

Tune in through the little play button under The BSR Listen Live heading to the left and don't forget to get in touch. Happy listening.

27th Show (or The Movie Show Is One Year Older But Not Any Wiser)

Hey Folks,
Its finally here, our one year anniversary show! How we've managed to reach this milestone is totally beyond our ability to comprehend. Thanks to all of you who have listened in over this incredible journey and hopefully you'll all stick with us as we head into Season 2.

And so the 27th Show goes out live tonight Thursday 6th June at 20:00 GMT.

For the musical theme this evening we've decided to pick some of our favourite tunes from the last years worth of content, so expect some returning classics as well as tracks that most likely no one but us really wanted to hear again (ok that's probably every tune we'll play).

No Cult Corner this week instead we've each chosen an upcoming film that we're excited about and we'll be taking a closer look at those and the folks behind them. Think of it as a preview of our upcoming preview episode, or, um, something...

As always we'll be keeping you informed of current and upcoming releases for the next fortnight in that patented Movie Show style.

Tune in through the 'BSR Listen Live' link to the left and happy listening.

Oh and while I remember, as some of you will already know you can catch up with our previous shows as well as other BSR FM classics over on Mixcloud. I'll be uploading this evenings show tomorrow so will post the relevant links then.

25th Show (or The Movie Show 25: The Wrath Of Durs)

Hey Folks,
The 25th Show goes out live Thursday 9th May 2013 at 20:00 GMT.

In what is a first for the show and hopefully a sign of things to come, we will be featuring a special guest, The Durs himself - Richard Dursley.

For those of you not familiar with the man (and shame on you if you're not), The Durs is a prominent Blogger and Movie reviewer here in Bristol and also the chap behind 'The Danger Zone' Movie/Classic Rock Club nights hosted at the Hatchet Inn.
The Durs has kindly agreed to appear on our humble little show and will be sharing his thoughts on Iron man 3 and Star Trek into Darkness as well as discussing his many projects including his first foray into Feature Film making, the upcoming 'Annette'.

Check out his site here: http://thedurs.com/

As for the rest of the show you might already have guessed but we'll be focusing on Sci-Fi Movies for our musical theme (God's but we're becoming predictable), to tie in with the release of Star Trek.
Expect our usual mix of seemingly random tunes including two, chosen after careful deliberation by our special guest.

Victorian Monkeys got a true Cult Classic lined up this week, one that is still sadly overlooked to this day. Normal service for the rest of the show, info on the latest releases etc.
It's going to be one hell of a packed show so don't miss it (although if you do, don't worry as we'll be uploading the show to 'Mixcloud' on Friday so you can listen whenever you want).
Tune in through the 'Listen Live' link to the left and if you have any questions for The Durs then get in contact either before or during the show.

24th Show (or The Movie Show in Four Colour Glory)

Hey Folks,
The 24th show goes out live tonight Thursday 25th April at 20:00 GMT.

For tonight's show we'll be revisiting a theme we used all the way back in our second broadcast, yep it's comic-book adaption time again (we do love our funny-books). Obviously this is to tie in with the latest release from the juggernaut that is Marvel Films, Iron Man 3.

Expect tunes from returning classics as well as some where you may be surprised to learn that they are adaptions from the printed page.

Victorian Monkeys back from his adventures in the Great North and he'll be looking back at a sadly underrated and oft forgotten little tale about a girl and her man substitute.

As always we'll be keeping you up to date on current and upcoming releases in that singular Movie Show style. Tune in via the 'BSR Listen Live' link to the left and happy listening.

23rd Show (or Yippee Ki-Yay Movie-showers)

Hey Folks,
The 23rd edition of the Movie Show broadcasts live tonight 11th April at 20:00 GMT.

Tonight's musical theme will be based around Siege Movies to tie in with the release of Whitehouse under siege movie 'Olympus Has Fallen' and also the 'Evil Dead' remake/sequel (any film in which a group of people get trapped in a building and stalked by a malevolent force should to our minds be classified as a siege movie).

Victorian Monkey will be looking back at perhaps the greatest of all the siege type cinematic offerings (a very British film I might add) and we will also be bringing you reviews of the previously mentioned 'Olympus Has Fallen' and 'Evil Dead', as well as the just released Tom Cruise flick 'Oblivion' (which if you're a fan of Sci-Fi we highly recommend, it's a stunningly beautiful film).

As always we'll be keeping you up to date with info on the next two weeks worth of new releases while engaging you all (cough) with our singular form of discussion.

Tune in through the 'BSR Listen Live' link over to left and happy listening.
