High, Low or No?
by High, Low or No?
How does "content" become "art"? Is it a spectrum, a ladder, or a Jackson Pollock painting? We certainly don't know, but we have opinions. Join Martyn Gibson, George Seabrook, and Joseph Gascoigne on Tuesdays as they tackle a new "element" of "culture" (by theme!), and ask themselves if it would belong in a gallery, as graffiti, or just another part of the churn, destined to be forgotten. Essentially, when we see art, do we think it's [refers you to the title of podcast]Season two: Romance in Film
Episodes
-
2.11 - The Room (2003)
With our Romance theme properly done and dusted, we enter a nebulous BONUS EPISODE zone, where Joseph can hold delicious court over a trial of The Room, during which George loses his mind and Martyn loses his catchphrase. This one's loopy, gang.
-
2.10 - Roman Holiday
And so the Romance in Film series comes to its elegant, perfectly ambivalent end - some of us High on it, others of us Low on it, and still more of us outright "No" on the whole affair. But luckily, this week's film, 1953's Roman Holiday (starring Audrey Hepburn in her first lead role in a...
-
2.9 - Pride & Prejudice (2005)
Dread it. Run from it. It arrives just the same. The Jane Austen adaptation episode. Except hold up there, poor man's Thanos! This movie is great, and really entertaining! And we have a lot to say about it, and by we, we mean George. Hold onto your butts.
-
2.8 - My Best Friend's Wedding
1997's My Best Friend's Wedding was a hit, a comeback for star Julie Roberts, and remains one of the most surprisingly subversive romantic-comedies to have been produced in the Hollywood system.... or is it?! Well, you know what happens next.
-
2.7 - Her
You gotta be careful with nice voices you hear in headphones on this week's episode - sometimes, they ask you to choke them with a dead cat, sometimes they ask if a thing is High, Low, or No Art, and sometimes they're Scarlett Johannson telling you they've enjoyed your relationship but they have…

2.6 - The Holiday
This week - the last of June, in an incredibly unseasonal choice of film - Joseph, George, and Martyn gather to discuss the 2006 Christmas vacation fantasy that is Nancy Myers' The Holiday. A conversation that is as immediately derailed and dominated by Cameron Diaz's performance as the movie...
-
2.5 - The Ugly Truth
Hitting our stride at the midpoint of the Romance in Film season, we dive into the shallow pool of 2009's The Ugly Truth, only to find ourselves lost in the middle of an ocean of misogyny. Just how did this movie get made? We don't know, and boy, we've got questions: How did it make $200 million...
-
2.4 - The Worst Person In The World
On George's birthday, all three hosts (feeling moderately existential) recorded this episode in the Romance in Film series, on 2022's The Worst Person In The World. Shocked this made the cut in the romance genre? Well, we talked about it. As well as how pretty Oslo looks, what Martyn thought of…

-
2.2 - No Strings Attached
high Strings, Low Strings, or No Strings Attached - that is the question this week, discussing the 2011 mini-maybe-masterpiece (?) of the Rom-Com genre. Has Martyn found a new love for a genre he used to arch an eyebrow at? Is it feminist to not want a boyfriend? And how many relationships have…

2.1 - Phantom Thread
We're back, and we're hungry. Hungry for LOVE! In the first of our ten episode run through Romance in Film, we ask if 2017's Phantom Thread is the highest art of anything we've yet covered? Is Reynolds Woodcock a bachelor, or a baby? And is there a market for men being dommed into diarrhoea? All...

Episode 10: Batman and Robin

-
Episode 9: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
