Strap in and get ready for a wild ride, because this week on Pop Screen Graham and Mark are explaining Holy Motors. No false advertising, no ironic trickery – we guarantee that a viable interpretation of Leos Carax’s infamous 2012 head-scrambler will be posited as we travel through each of the bizarre tasks imposed upon M. Oscar (a truly phenomenal Denis Lavant).
And where does all that leave us? It leaves us with a heartfelt appreciation of the life and screen career of Kylie Minogue, as it should do. Come for the impenetrable arthouse, stay for the mainstream pop! Yes, this would probably have been more commercial if we did it the other way round.
If you appreciate this undertaking and don’t want to see us reduced to miming sex with a CGI dragon in order to survive, please donate to our Patreon where – among other goodies – you can get an exclusive Pop Screen episode every month.

AND ALL GOOD PODCAST APPS
Picking up on the Beatles theme of the first episode, this sees Graham and Mark Harrison unpick Danny Boyle’s Yesterday, an apparently simple high-concept rom-com that, in the hands of writer Richard Curtis, somehow becomes an Escher-esque maze of illogic and unmotivated character decisions. It’s basically the Lament Configuration for film podcasters.
