Love knows no boundaries, nor does rock, and nor does Pop Screen, which journeys outside of Britain for the first time to look at Wild Zero, a delirious horror-comedy-musical road movie starring the uncompromisingly rock-oriented band Guitar Wolf. Join Graham and Rob as they try and piece together what they’ve just seen, a journey which involves tighty-whities, UFOs, gender identity and Link Wray’s ‘Rumble’. Somehow they also find the room for digressions on Adam Buxton, the beauty of Bandcamp, video nasty collectors and so much more.
Rock ‘n’ roll will never die, and neither will The Geek Show if you contribute to our upkeep over on Patreon. You get some treats for your money too, not least a whole monthly episode of this show that isn’t available anywhere else.
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.
