The Neon Demon & The Mysterious Cities of Gold

Imagine a world without music. No jazz, soul, punk, funk or gospel, no rock, no roll, no hip, no hop. You can't do it can you, and not only because your brain has been reduced to little more than a paperweight by endlessly scrolling the internet on your phone but also because it's impossible. People have music literally embedded in them; the human heart is by design an organ which is supposed to tirelessly and constantly beat in rhythm just for you to survive. Given the seemingly culturally universal ubiquity that exists around music it's not surprising that we love movies about music and musicians. But which ones did we choose to chat about for this weeks Top 5? It's a tense week as Bad Dad Peter Andre makes his first nominations and none of us were prepared for him to pick Danish auteur Nicholas Winding Refn's 2016 horror about beauty, The Neon Demon. The film polarised critics upon release, will it have the same effect on the Dads?We round up this weeks show with a nostalgia filled look back at 1982's The Mysterious Cities of Gold. For those that are old enough, the mere mention of that title is sufficient to lodge the theme tune in your brain like the bullet that will presumably lodge itself in the back of Meghan Markle's cranium once Kate finally gives the order to have her assassinated. But does this show have anything to offer beyond the theme tune? Stay tuned to find out. We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it.
