Failed Critics Podcast: La Gone Girl, Le Back Boy

Welcome all to this week's podcast! As mentioned on the last episode, Carole is taking a break this week so we turned to trusty stalwart James to fill in. He can't do anything to prevent quiz controversy with Owen's inept hosting. But then, neither could Carole. Nor Steve, now that we mention it. Despite James' temporary return, it's actually Steve who somehow ends up being the most sophisticated and intellectual of the bunch. No, really. At least, that's what the guys at EM Foundation thought prior to the podcast as they sent him a copy of the fully restored and fantastic 1930's French poetic realism movie Le Jour se lève for review. And raise the tone of the pod to BBC4 standards he did, along with help from James sharing his opinion on the award winning documentary Print The Legend... before Owen brings us crashing back down to our usual BBC2 level with a review of the Roger Corman film A Bucket of Blood. The main review this week is David Fincher's highly anticipated Gone Girl, replete with a return for the spoiler alert section at the end - so stay tuned for that if you've seen the movie (Matt)!
