Antony is joined by Jcrash and podcast debutante Filippo to discuss Alan Parker's film adaptation of the Roger Waters-driven concept album by Pink Floyd. Among other things, we discuss the many themes of the film, our own experiences of state education, the film's animation by Gerald Scarfe and finally the incredible music that drives it all.

Hope you enjoy it!

Antony is joined by Jonathan Oates, the most recent biographer of serial killer John Reginald Christie, for an unofficial audio commentary of the 1971 film '10 Rillington Place', starring Richard Attenborough and John Hurt and based on the book by Ludovic Kennedy, along with general discussion of the case,  Since this is audio only, its worth following along with the film if you have it. This commentary was originally recorded in October 2013.
