Every episode, filmmaker JJ Eringa and musician Sean Wade take a look at one film and one album from a random year, and get into the nitty gritty of what makes them so good...or otherwise! We also keep up to date with the album and box office charts to see if anything coming out now can compete with the roster of stone cold classics we'll be looking at from through the years.

    And the year is...oh. 2022. A little underwhelming...or is it? We break tradition this week by jumping straight into heated debate, with our special guest GEORGE HOBART (Rapture: Nimbus Reborn), about whether Black Country New Road's ANTS FROM UP THERE really deserves its many 'album of the year' titles.

About

Every episode, filmmaker JJ Eringa and musician Sean Wade take a look at one film and one album from a random year, and get into the nitty gritty of what makes them so good...or otherwise! We also keep up to date with the album and box office charts to see if anything coming out now can compete with the roster of stone cold classics we'll be looking at from through the years.
