The Necks: Unfold

The Necks Unfold Ideologic Organ Back when this was released – a double album from The Necks arriving early 2017 I was so excited I blogged in anticipation and then forgot to actually review the album. It happens. And yes, I know there’s already another new (brand new!) Necks album – and ahead of that […]

Voyeur: Film

Voyeur Directors: Myles Kane & Josh Koury Brooklyn Underground Films/Impact Partners/Public Record/Netflix Gay Talese’s tone-deaf, creepy and largely unnecessary book becomes this tone-deaf, creepy and largely unnecessary doco thanks, I guess, to his “star-power” as a celebrity writer. But in his 80s now and so deeply out of touch it’s hard to know who looks […]

The latest, All The Dirty Parts, […]

Jim Norton: Mouthful of Shame

Jim Norton: Mouthful of Shame Director: Shannon Hartman Netflix Norton made his name on being filthy-minded, filthy-mouthed and relentlessly anti/un-PC – so if that sounds like the ultimate turnoff and nowhere near woke enough for you back away before entering. What Norton manages here, with this special is pretty brilliant – it’s one-note, he riffs […]

Side Effects: DVD

Side Effects Director: Steven Soderbergh Open Road Films We keep hearing that Steven Soderbergh is done with directing films – and he keeps mixing it up by adding in documentaries and TV episodes and of course his (often) maddening “exercises”. But it’s a remarkable body of work – particularly when you look at the highlights. […]
