Welcome back for another episode of off-the-cuff chicanery. We postponed our planned subject this week to acknowledge the death of Robin Williams and consider his contributions to darker cinema and beyond. While difficult, we managed to segue straight to James Brown!? In thewake of yet another biopic, we paused the proceedings to insert a schlock corner featuring a difficult interview with James Brown under the influence of... something.Plenty of unexpected topics sprung up while discussing Expendables 3 including the industry's reliance on markets outside North America to generate profits, the latest debate over the impact of piracy on the box office in the wake of its dismal opening weekend, and of course The 'Polanski' discussion - can we forgive Mel Gibson or does moral judgement have any place in selecting our entertainment choices.Before everything was done, we chat about shark week fallout including a re-watch of Orca (1977), and a faux documentary on the extinctMegalodon (including our callout out for Meg to finally get filmed). All this and a zombie Osama Bin Laden in Ozombie... maybe its time to go back to the 80's - next week.
