June 23, 2016Tale of Tales + Our Little Sister + Richard III + Cemetery of Splendor - Eclectica #73Well made, but nauseating...This week, we had more from the long AWOL minority report for Apichatpong Weerasethakul's Cemetery of Splendor before diving into business as usual - or near enough.

May 26, 2016The Producers + 200 Motels + Expresso Bongo - Eclectica #69The Musical SpecialWe've talked about it for it a long time and this week it is here - our musical special. True to classic Eclectica form, though, it was never going to go like other musical specials. With a brief discussion of A Hologram for the King, we dedicated the whole show to all things rhythmic. Off the Shelf features 1960s rock 'n roll with Expresso Bongo, affectionately silly parody in the producers before going full Eclectica with Frank Zappa's 200 Motels and South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker's Cannibal the Musical....more1h 11minPlay
