Whiplash and the art of the perfect ending

There's a lot to be said for knowing where to end a film.  The temptation is to have ten minutes of wrapping up to say goodbye to the characters and make sure everyone knows whats going on, letting...

A few thoughts about Whiplash which probably has the most euphorically perfect endings I can remember.

Being good to each other is so important, guys.

Occasionally (nothing like often enough) I make music videos.  Here’s my latest one for Tottenham’s finest Death-Blues act Bleak for their new single Drinking Song.  The song was recorded in 2 takes in the studio with no overdubs so I was challenged to do something in the same spirit so we came up with this idea - shot in a single unbroken take (with only 2 tries to get it right!). 

If you enjoyed that, the single is available to download from Bandcamp here: http://screamliterecords.bandcamp.com/track/drinking-song

Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Francesca Peschier returns for a bonus Halloween-Special podcast. What better subject for Halloween than the TV show that turned horror tropes inside out (like some sort of serial killer that hunts down tropes because a couple of tropes killed it's parents 20 years to the day...) Buffy the Vampire Slayer. We glance over the history, the politics and the ill-advised solo albums of one of the most seminal TV shows of the most awkward period in pop culture: the late-nineties/early-noughties. As always, please come and find us on the internets: www.twitter.com/pcultradio www.facebook.com/popcultureradioshow

If you're battling against a Halloween hangover then might I suggest that this is the perfect time to listen to the Buffy special of the podcast?

MATT LeBLANC: There’s only five people in the world who know exactly what being on Friends was like, other than me. There’s five of them. David, Matthew, Lisa, Courteney, and Jen. That’s it. Marta and David were close, but when they left the stage, no one knew what they did. We could never leave the stage, metaphorically speaking. Still can’t. Still on that stage. That will follow us around forever.

More important than anything else is the look on people’s faces when you cross paths with them in the street, or in the store, or in the grocery line. You can always tell that you were—maybe still are, maybe always will be—a part of their family. Movies have this thing where it’s an event. You get dressed up, you go to dinner, and you go to the movies. You’re outside of your element. But with television, people are watching you in bed, at their kitchen table eating. You’re in their house.

I did not want it to end.
