Bit of an odd episode, this one. This week we have the timeless classic Shawshank Redemption offered by freind of the pod, Derek but put in lock down. The second film 1984 is placed in a sealed section in recognition of its dark content and heavy political undertones to today, you will be thouroughly warned.....

Paul reads a letter from a Listener from Tennessee concerning Pips distaste for the local accent and explodes into a flourish of apology.  The first film of the night is 2007 Sunshine offered up by Listener Stu, and is given the considered and conceited treatment. the second film is the brand new release of Shakespeares great tragedy King Lear. The film boasts a cast of all time greats like Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson supported by top rate actors, the conversation is long and hard fought with some suprises perhaps.
