The LAST Simon and Jo Film Show: 27/02/2011 Danny Boyle's 'Frankenstein' and Drive Angry

Unfortunately, The Simon and Jo Film Show has now transmitted it's last podcast. Over 70 episodes, 5 Bourne Brain Baffler's, 5 London Film Festival podcasts, 2 special editions (to see the episode-list click here) and here we are with a final episode.

We record live from outside the National Theatre and, indeed, it does get windy - so apologies for that. But, no film news or box-office this week simply discussion on the National Theatre's production of 'Frankenstein' directed by Danny Boyle and starring Johnny Lee Miller (Trainspotting) and Benedict Cumberbatch (BBC's Sherlock Holmes TV series). Details about the cinema-release of this play is here.

We then run through our Oscar-picks and what we think may win, only to finish with a visit to the club and then review Drive Angry starring Nicholas Cage, Amber Herd and William Fichtner.

The blog will still be running but, alas, the end has come to a podcast which we have always enjoyed making and thank all our listeners for putting up with our ramblings and banter!

Music

To go off with a bang and, as there is no music available for 'Frankenstein', I have picked my favourite tracks by Underworld - one of my favourite artists - who also composed the score for the 'Frankenstein' production at the National Theatre.

TSAJFS 09/01/2011 The Kings Speech/Deliverance/Machete

From the balcony of the New Years Party, Simon and Jo are now able to watch the films released in the US in 2010 - namely Tom Hoopers The King's Speech and Robert Rodriguezs' Machete. Simon additionally watched John Boormans Deliverance as one of 1001 Movies he must see before he dies.

UK Box-Office and New-Releases discussion ensue whilst the News discusses Gareth Edwards taking on Godzilla, Tarantino's Top 10 of 2010 and Frodo Baggins return amongst many other topics.
