Straw Dogs (1971)

CW: Due to the nature of the content of this film we do talk about rape and violence against women.
If you go down to Cornwall today, watch out for the creepy locals! On Adjust Your Tracking this week we are covering Sam Peckinpah's controversial home invasion 1971 film Straw Dogs, starring Dustin Hoffman and Susan George as a couple recently moved to Cornwall who are forced to defend their home against attackers. An incredibly violent film which still is able to shock and disgust today, so controversial in fact that it didn't get a full release on home video in the UK until 2002. We also talk about King of Staten Island and struggle to understand old money.

Batman Forever (1995)

Sunday Jun 14, 2020

Sunday Jun 14, 2020

Riddle me this! Who's afraid of the big, black bat? As part of our 'classics revisited' episode for the 90s. We take a look back to what Batman was like in 1995's Batman Forever. Directed by Joel Schumacher and starring Val Kilmer, Tommy Lee Jones, Jim Carrey, Nicole Kidman and Chris O'Donnell. This ain't your Nolan Batman, full wild and unrepentant 1966's camp is on display here with an insane portrayal of the caped crusader as he tackles the hardship of a love triangle with himself, a new ward in Dick Grayson and two insane criminal wrecking havoc in Gotham as he is sent mysterious riddles (that he largely ignores). None of it makes sense and it is a wild ride.
