Ep 142 The Northman

It’s Chris’ birthday choice, and he’s chosen the bang-up-to-date, still-at-the- cinema, fresh-as-a-daisy “The Northman”, from WTH favourite Robert Eggers. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT WE WILL BE THOROUGHLY SPOILING THE WHOLE MOVIE! A brutal yet brilliant film, in which Nicole Kidman prefers to Bang Claes; there are no bullshit blood eagles, but a (literal) shed load of ravens and at least one Hawke; and Björk shows us her less cryptic side. Along the way we discuss the 1954 BBC version of “Nineteen Eighty-Four”, “Piranha 3D” and “The House That Dripped Blood” Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers, and join us. • APOLOGIES FOR ANY SOUND/SPEECH QUALITY ISSUES - THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED REMOTELY, ON A LONGSHIP BOUND FOR ICELAND.
