Hooting Yard: Your Ogsby Packaging.

The very next day, a few miles inland in the awful little village of Gack, he killed a monkey-trainer named Perkins, and made such a racket while doing so that dozens of police cars screeched up to the hovel wherein the fell deed was done. The coppers formed a ring of steel around the hovel and waited for the maniac to emerge. Hours passed. Eventually, Detective Captain Cargpan himself, Babinsky’s Nemesis, strode to the door and banged his big blackbegloved fist upon it. It opened, and there in the fetid gloom stood the picturesque, striking-looking parson, the Reverend John Chippendall Montesquieu Bellew, whose head of hair was like a great ball of spun white silk.

Musical Interludes Provided Throughout By: Daisy Dormer-Court.

Chips For The Poor episode 3: Chicago-SXSW

Chips For The Poor’s adventures in Chicago take them for a ride on the cinema’s famous ‘L’ train and to TV’s famous kids’ dance party Chic-a-go-go. Then an aeroplane takes them South, where they contemplate Texas from the sky. Arriving, still dressed for winter in the perennial summer of the Lone Star State, the band take to the streets of Austin for South By Southwest, the world’s biggest music festival (2,000 acts play on average 5 gigs each).

Hear their further cassette diaries as they wander the streets encountering bands, drunks and drunk bands, and play one burrito bar, a back garden and two car parks, one of which is a benefit for homeless cats.

Will they live the rock’n’roll dream and finally get given a free drink? Where is this free barbecue they’d heard so much about? Will they get out alive or fry on the chair? Tune in to find out…

Track list:
Wet Lands (live in a back garden)
Gracelands, Gracelands (live at Trophy’s Bar And Grill, Austin)

Reality Check: Virtual Worlds on film

Reality Check: Virtual Worlds on film

Virtual worlds on the big screen vary from the most escapist to the increasingly relevant and in this episode of Sci-Fi London’s podcast we look at two very different representations of these on screen. Alex Fitch talks to Nicolas Alberny and Jean Mach, the directors of 8th Wonderland, a film about a virtual community declaring themselves to be a new country with rights and influence on the rest of the world, and the agit-prop antics of the members of this virtual country on film proved prophetic compared to recent events in the Middle East and demonstrations on the streets of London. Also, we have an extract from the Tron: Legacy press conference in which director Joseph Kosinski, stars Jeff Bridges and Olivia Wilde and others talk about their sequel to a VR film classic.
(Tron: Legacy is released on DVD 18/04/11 and 8th Wonderland in June)
