Finally, the time has come. After 75 episodes ostensibly about movie-related discussions, Callie and Lucy say farewell to Screen 1, and the pair are going out in style! Lucy is exposed to a ripped J.K. Simmons, complains about her self-performed haircut, and claims that Freaks & Geeks is based on her life; Callie finally gets… Read More Screen 1 (23/06/2016)
The end is nigh, but before Callie and Lucy can put out their 75th and final show, they have to deal with the 74th and penultimate episode first. There’s a long, detailed breakdown of why Me Before You is offensively awful trash that’s not worth getting worked up over; tired sighing over the second Adam… Read More Screen 1 (06/06/2016)
Thanks to bank holidays, studio cock-ups, and Lucy being pre-occupied elsewhere, this instalment of Screen 1 is sent out on a Wednesday and with a returning Peter Calder in the co-host chair. It’s a good thing he’s here, though, cos otherwise the show may have ended up drowning under the amount of films that Callie… Read More Screen 1 (01/06/2016)
Lucy and Callie are now on the home stretch of their time together as Screen 1, and the big movies just keep on a-coming! This week, the pair tackle X-Men: Apocalypse. It goes poorly for the X-Men. Elsewhere, there’s a lengthy optimistic discussion about the upcoming Trainspotting sequel, mandatory discussion over who should take over… Read More Screen 1 (23/05/2016)
Screen 1 continues to bring the Tony Hawk soundtrack memories, this week, with them fuelling a bumper week’s worth of content… since 2/5 of it is last week’s content that didn’t make it into that show. In any case, there are reviews of The Angry Birds Movie and Our Kind Of Traitor, catch-up reviews of… Read More Screen 1 (16/05/2016)
Proving that people do, in fact, eventually learn from their prior mistakes, Screen 1 does not go all motor-mouthed trying to fit in all of its content once it becomes clear that they’re out of time this week, instead pushing it to the next episode. That’s about it, though. The news gets side-tracked by pretty… Read More Screen 1 (09/05/2016)
Taking advantage of being out of their usual time slot, Screen 1 delivers a packed and rather extended show, rather the opposite of punk. The bumper news segment covers the Doctor Strange fiasco, Dredd rumours, and X-Men time-wasting. Meanwhile, the reviews get intellectual with Captain America: Civil War, grim with Anomalisa, ranty with Demolition, fanboyish… Read More Screen 1 (03/05/2016)
With nothing of interest or note happening or out in cinemas this past week, Lucy and Callie have to make their own fun on Screen 1 because they have a contractual obligation to fill 90 minutes worth of radio! After getting reviews of Miles Ahead and Bastille Day out of the way, the pair get… Read More Screen 1 (25/04/2016)
Screen 1 is the opposite of the bare necessities, this week, with a show so stuffed full of content that it has to squeeze the reviews into one rushed 20 minute segment at the end. Lucy and Callie peer through the Cannes Film Festival line-up, express their disgust over people who text in cinemas, and… Read More Screen 1 (18/04/2016)
Bucking the usual structure a little this week, Screen 1 dedicates its middle-stretch to addressing the worrying rumours that Warner Bros. are planning on scaling back on funding for mid-budget, filmmaker-driven projects. Callie and Lucy also only play video game music instead of anything properly film-related, but that’s basically the norm by this point. Elsewhere,… Read More Screen 1 (11/04/2016)
