Fly back 5 years to one my favourite episodes of @Poptique , when @wossy graced Alison Dennison & myself with his presence to discuss @sparksofficial on the release of @edgarwright's @SparksBrothers doc on @sohoradio!
The whole darn show is here : mixcloud.com/sohoradio/popti…

You gotta love Billy Costello when he goes into full 'Red Pepper Sam', Ukelele-Ike-style scat mode :
Ya gotta love google searches these days.
Hey google - when's that Nathan Fielder doc 'You Can See Everything' that everyone's talkin' about coming out in the UK?
'Yesiree, that would be the 1st of January in the year 1 AD, sir. Hope you enjoy it, sir'.
Ooooooookay.
It's supposedly World Bollywood Day, so in honor of that please enjoy not just one of my favourite Bollywood moments of all time, but one of my favourite musical numbers of all times, period.
Duniya Mein Logon Ko - Apna Desh 1972

I guess it'll kinda break the flow of Fantasia next time it's watched on there, when that broom-holding bloke in the pink tracksuit pops up and sings 'DIIIIIARRHEEEEEA' in the middle of the Nutcracker Suite.
Uncle Walt is likely spinning in his freezer cabinet.
Disney+ has altered its user agreement to clarify that ads will be allowed on all subscription tiers. bit.ly/4hhOjBo
Loving that @CoyoteACMEMovie (that I loved & which my 10 year old has now seen TWICE in a cinema) has surpassed $100 Million worldwide & is officially in profit.
But can I please humbly request that when it comes out on blu-ray in Nov it doesn't use this AWFUL cover art? :
I mean, come on - these are all perfectly fine, but the UK poster art?
No thank you very much. #coyotevsacme
This has reminded me of a day that will forever live in infamy :
When I found a copy of the Beyond the Valley of the Dolls soundtrack in a 50p each box of CDs but Destiny's Child's 'Survivor' was inside the case.
Still breaks my heart a tiny bit even now.
(The pain of that terrible memory tho is almost completely countered by sharing the movie with @nancy_dewe on the @sohoradio show & her absolutely [and 100% correctly] loving it) :
mixcloud.com/sohoradio/popti… )
I 100% agree this is a mega-moment in a mind blowing film, but I'm not so sure this was such a pain in the ass to shoot.
Well rehearsed choreography (via the amazing Toni Basil), a tape measure & a good deal of foresight would have made this time consuming but very achievable.
This ad for ciggies was shot by Peter Medak during one of the many breaks in filming for the Ghost of the Noonday Sun, with Seller's & Milligan flatly refusing to even touch the cigarette pack as they were (supposedly) the Chairman (& Deputy Chair) of the anti-smoking league...
Loved this Two Ronnies sketch when I first saw it as a teeny kid & still love it now.
A fantastic use of their opposing yang & yang performance styles - Barker underplaying beautifully & Corbett overplaying to a tee :

Expected I'd 'like' @CoyoteACMEMovie but ended up loving it.
Felt like old times - a fun & surprisingly touching summer movie, not a bland corporate franchise building behemoth, but a love letter to many different generations of old skool Hollywood entertainment.
Recommended!
I've just stuck this on as I wanted to hear a specific song & couldn't remember who the heckles recorded it.
But this @poptique via @sohoradio from August last year (not to mention an August even earlier than that) is a good listen & then some.
LISTEN : mixcloud.com/sohoradio/popti…
In the unlikely event you wish to know, the song was 'Money' by @widowspeaking, which I played to celebrate 40 years of #RichardPryor & #JohnCandy's double-header 80s semi-classic #BrewstersMillions.
Truth be told, this show is crammed with bangers + #BettyBoop & more!
