Hustlers of Culture episodes

  • S5EP15 Blackhat (2015)
    In a double-length season finale, Les and Hugh dive deep into one of Hugh's favourite filmmakers (and one Les finds himself coming back to again and again), Michael Mann, and his last theatrical feature, the hugely underrated BLACKHAT. First, however, Les talks about his article (now published) about Cinema Bastards, and modern fandom, with Hugh tying that in to tech issues that lead them into the film itself.

  • S5EP14 Interview with director Peter Webber

    We are thrilled to present this interview with British director Peter Webber, whose Spanish-language feature PICKPOCKETS, currently on Netflix, we covered earlier this season. Peter graciously took time out of his busy schedule (here talking to us remotely from Italy where he was on a festival jury, so please excuse any technical hiccups still present in the recording) to discuss the fifteen-year-long process to make PICKPOCKETS. Then we dive deep into his career, from TV movies at the BBC to his recent reggae documentary INNA DE YARD, available now on Amazon Prime, via GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING, HANNIBAL RISING, EMPEROR and more.

    Thanks once again to Peter for making this podcast happen and being so generous with his time and thoughts.

  • S5EP13 A Star Is Born 2019
    Les and Hugh look at remakes, debuts, directorial style, language of cinema, showbiz, narcissism, music and transcendence in the context of the latest version of showbiz myth A STAR IS BORN.

    1 hr 36 min
  • S5EP12 Boyz n the Hood
    A long-awaited chance for Les and Hugh to return to this modern classic. The discussion begins funnily enough on the Hughes Brothers and MENACE II SOCIETY as a way into the late John Singleton's smash-hit debut by contrast. As they dig deeper and deeper into Singleton's work and his cast, more and more context is placed around both this film, what came before and it and those that would follow.

  • S5EP11 Sorry To Bother You
    Les convinces Hugh to FINALLY watch Boots Riley's stellar SORRY TO BOTHER YOU, saying it's made for him. Much to his joy, Hugh proves him right, as the two wax lyrical about a modern masterpiece.
