Welcome back to Special Features! It’s been a long and difficult time so far with the pandemic, but we have made the time to check in with the SF heads.

In this new episode we discuss a diverse range of artists and mavericks from Elvis Presley, Lee Hazlewood, Bill Fay, Cocteau Twins, Tom Waits, King Crimson, David Chapelle to tv / films such as David Chapelle’s Block Party, Night Of The Living Dead, High Life, Snowpiercer, Whats Up Doc and many more covered in this episode.

We hope you enjoy the episode and the current music, docos , films and tv we have been loving and that has helped us keep going through these unprecedented times.

Enjoy SF peeps and see you on the flipside.

Nath Fontaine and Tone Capone.

Special Features are back with another isolation episode in quick fire fashion!

In this episode, we discuss and take a look at the film documentary - Memory: The Origins Of Alien. The documentary, released in 2019, explores the origins of Ridley Scott's Alien and his works on the Alien franchise. The documentary includes original story notes, rejected designs and storyboards, exclusive behind the scenes footage and screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's original 29 page script of Memory, which was the starting point for the Alien film script.

The documentary takes us on the path in the lead up and the making of the Alien film and explores the talents of screenwriter Dan O'Bannon, Film Director Ridley Scott and Visionary Artist H.R Giger, and their once in a lifetime collaboration that made Alien one of the best science fiction horror films and franchises of all time. Lookout for H.P Lovecraft, Francis Bacon, the Greek Furies and producer Walter Hill, the film's producer that decided to pass on directing Alien, in favour of the film Southern Comfort, which a solid film, but is no Alien.

So sit back, relax and enjoy the episode, brought to be Stan who are streaming the doco at the moment, and let's not forget JB HI FI as well......just kidding!

See you on the flipside,

Nath Fontaine & Tone Capone.

Tone Capone and Nath Fontaine are back with a new 30 minute episode that is shining a light on film and TV. This episode is an exercise in stream of consciousness and riffing on the subject of cinema, and I hope you guys enjoy the rough and ready ride!

In this episode we cover and discuss films/tv that we have been uncovering and getting into and geeking out over lately. We cover films ranging from Under The Silver Lake by David Robert Mitchell, Apocalypse Now - The Final Cut by Francis Ford Coppola , Mid90’s by Jonah Hill, Mirai - a Japanese Anime release, Bill and Ted Excellent Adventure and Bill and Teds Bogus Journey and also discuss the Marvel phenomenon and whether its cinema or just a theme park ride. We would love to hear your thoughts on that one, as it has been a touchy subject on the internet and social media.

Anyway, enough of our jive talk , we hope you enjoy the new 30 minute SF episode with Nath and Tone.

Peace,

Nath Fontaine & Tone Capone
