    Celluloid Skeletons – Episode 12: Mel Gibson/The Million Dollar Hotel

    This month Celluloid Skeletons looks at a huge movie star of the 80s and 90s who has, through his own behaviour, fallen by the wayside a little. That’s right it’s ‘Mad’ Mel Gibson, star of action classics like Mad Max and Lethal Weapon, and Oscar winning director of films like Braveheart and Apocalypto. Join Joe and his guests Rory Drummond and Jeff Kennedy as they talk about Gibson’s hugely successful career and skirt delicately around his later notoriety as an angry drunk. Plus, this week’s Celluloid Skeleton is based on a story idea by Bono, and was directed by art-house darling Wim Wenders, what could possibly go wrong? Listen on to found out.

    Celluloid Skeletons – Episode 11: Clint Eastwood/Firefox

    This month’s episode is about a man so iconic that you only need to hear his first name. Just like Cher. Join Joe and his guests Ian Thomson and Sophie Watson for a chat about classic Clint movies like The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, Dirty Harry and Unforgiven, and find out when Clint’s hair was its most majestic and whether he looks like a good kisser or not. After all of that, talk turns to this month’s Celluloid Skeleton; the Cold War spy thriller Firefox starring Clint as a traumatised Vietnam veteran sent on a daring mission to Moscow. Should you go hunting for Firefox, or is it yesterday’s news like the web browser it shares a name with? Listen on to find out.

    Celluloid Skeletons – Episode 7: Daniel Day-Lewis/Stars and Bars

    Towering, imperious, intense. These are some of the words that regularly crop up when discussing three time Oscar winning actor Daniel Day-Lewis. Naturally then this month’s episode focuses on Stars and Bars, a lightweight fish out of water comedy with Day-Lewis channeling his inner Hugh Grant as a bumbling Englishman in America. Joe is joined by guests Rory Drummond and Iain Newlands for a discussion of Day-Lewis’ method madness, Irish accents and total immersion in his characters, as well as Stars and Bars‘ insane hotel and oddly Yankee specific target audience.

    Celluloid Skeletons – Episode 6: Kevin Spacey/Ordinary Decent Criminal

    The 1990s were one long hot streak for Kevin Spacey. From his breakthrough work in Glengarry Glen Ross to his Oscar winning turn in American Beauty, it seemed that ‘The Spaceman’ could do no wrong. Which might be why Ordinary Decent Criminal, his first film of the 00s is such a turkey. Join Joe and his guests Alice Andrews and Sinead Sheridan as they discuss bad Irish accents, poorly planned heists and the bastardisation of a Caravaggio masterpiece.

    Celluloid Skeletons – Episode 5: Tommy Lee Jones/Stormy Monday

    Craggy faced Texan and professional sourpuss Tommy Lee Jones is under the spotlight in this episode of Celluloid Skeletons. Listen to Joe and returning guest Sophie Watson as they chat about his work over the years, playing gruff, closed off men in films like The Fugitive, Men in Black and No Country for Old Men. With all that in mind Joe and Sophie take a look at Stormy Monday a 1988 romantic thriller set in Newcastle which features Jones alongside Melanie Griffith, Sean Bean and Sting. Listen along to hear all about a weird fictional festival called America week, Newcastle’s obsession with jazz and Tommy Lee Jones as a flashy American businessman with a mullet and a power suit. https://telstarmedia.files.wordpress.com/2015/04/celluloid-skeletons-episode-5-tommy-lee-jones-stormy-monday.mp3 Subscribe to Celluloid Skeletons here and be sure to rate and review us on iTunes.
