Podcast: Quite Franco My Dear I Don’t Give A Hamm

podcast.jpgMark Davidson, Laura Croft, Steve O’Hara and Dave Wark are joined by special guest Dr. Andy Stothers. He joins them to give his opinion on The Wire, having been challenged by Mark to see if it lives up to the hype. They also discuss Mad Men, and Breaking Bad in a television-centric Just Been Watching section. They go on to talk about some recent film news, their experiences at Glasgow Film Festival, as well as give their opinions on the recently announced changes to this year’s Edinburgh International Film Festival. Finally, in the Best Worst Movie section they talk about their experience of watching their favourite bad movie Troll 2 on the big screen.

Among the highlights include the point at which one of us accuses another of racism; Laura is forced to confront the fact James Franco may not be as perfect as she had previously thought; and the gasps of Steve as he gets distracted by the goings on of a certain football game he’s watching in the background:
