Rita Ora in 50 Shades of Grey – Episode 117

Archaeon

Sam Taylor-Johnson is about to release Back to Black, her second music biopic following 2009’s Nowhere Boy. So naturally Pop Screen decided to review… her EL James adaptation? Yeah, why not, it’s got Rita Ora in it. Returning co-host Joe did a lot of Ritasearch for this podcast and was delighted to remember that she only has about a minute of screentime.

Not that there’s any shortage of other things to talk about when it comes to 50 Shades of Grey. Its status as a cultural phenomenon, its dubious sexual politics, its troubled production and long list of nearly-stars… all of this and more is covered in this dangerously erotic edition of Pop Screen. We also explain why Christian Grey’s chauffeur is the secret hero of these movies, and reveal what the Frenchest film ever made is. It’s not this one.

If you don’t want us to be financially dependent on a creepy billionaire who uses us as sex slaves, you can donate to our Patreon where we’re about to drop an exclusive episode on the 1994 police thriller The Glass Key, as well as publishing written reviews of Red Dwarf, The X-Files and Doctor Who every week. Patreon backers also get two whole podcasts that aren’t available anywhere else: From the Video Aisle is in the middle of a Mr. Vampire retrospective, and the movie and TV miscellany that is Last Night… comes out every month as well. Follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram for more information.
