02.) Music Video Logic (Channel 4 Telefilm, “Max Headroom”)

Exactly 36 years after the initial broadcast of “Max Headroom” on Channel 4, we discus this telefilm, sexual harassment on your first day at work, and if it really is cost-efficient to compress commercials to 1/10th their original length.

Heather wonders if David Bowie was a Max Headroom fan.

Austin wonders if the writer’s of “Freejack,” might have seen Bruegel’s wardrobe.

In our next episode, we will be discussing S1E1 of the US TV Program, “Max Headroom,” originally aired 31 March 1987. Titled “Blipverts,” it is currently available on DVD through Shout Factory, and comes with a number of excellent bonus features. This link might work for you, at least, for now.

01.) We Can Title ’em, Too (Our Pilot)

In our Pilot episode, we introduce our listeners to our show, how we will be viewing the show / character, how often we’ll be on, and what our relationship with Max Headroom is. A cascading series of meta-talks about our future talks ensues. In a meta way.

Heather reveals that she thinks Max Headroom is a sitcom.

Austin spends a fair amount of time discussing lawn care.

In our next episode, we will be discussing the UK telefilm, “Max Headroom,” originally aired 4 April 1985. It was briefly available in Japan on Laserdisc, but is currently unavailable, to our knowledge. YouTube, archive.org, and a number of other sites have it available for you to enjoy in the meantime.
