"Now we know that there are now going to be, there's now an earlier trilogy which they're going to put together which is the first three parts". It's like hearing a respected medical correspondent in the early 80s saying "There's apparently been the emergence of a new virus that can be sexually transmitted, which has allegedly spawned from non human primates in West-central Africa, we just don't have a name for it".
1995! So weird to hear frank talk about Star Wars before the Special Editions and the prequels came out and changed the discourse around these movies for good. And Kermode's voice has barely changed in all that time, too, so I didn't check the date of the recording until he referred to Clerks as a recent movie.
+The Red Viper He hates the prequels, as does any intelligent sentient film-goer, but he was never overawed with Star Wars as he seems to prefer other scifi.
+solidoperative It's a tune called Highwire, and the theme to 60s spy-show Danger Man. Radcliffe used it as the opener to the radio programme this is taken from
Name something quite interesting: David Prowse's voice for Darth Vader: Name something eye-stabbingly smug and annoying: Bloody Radcliffe trying to make a skit about it.
Is his name Kermode because it sounds like commode which is also full of crap? Who gives a shit that he likes obscure films? Kids enjoyed the return of the jedi and some adults.
It’s crazy listening to this, this was before the prequels, before the Special Editions.
To quote Spinal Tap in relation to the later films:
Shit Wars
"seems in your answers on a postcard" ... those were the days.
He's still banging the table!

Well, thanks ever so much for uploading them. It's a great blast from the past. Do you have all the Cult Film Corners or just a select few?
Love it!
Interesting, besides ROTJ, Mark doesn't speak too badly about the Star Wars films, and yet years later, for some reason, he hates them

part 7 was going to be the last ? lol
Does anyone know the music at the start?

+Glittering Delights Thank you very much. I have been wondering what it was for a while.
Point of order - Randal said Jedi was better. Dante was the one who preferred Empire.
Mark sounds exactly the same
he sounds young
Where do you find these?
I taped them off-air, way back in the mid 90s
+Glittering Delights Thank you so much for uploading these. I'd happily listen to entire episodes.
Wow, if only he knew.
I think Kermode will like Rogue One
would have been good to hear the weather prophets if it was "i almost prayed".
"All John Williams soundtracks sound the same." Did Kermode really say that?

Lucas is one of the few men I call a genius. Well, maybe he was just a visionary but his mind was creative on a whole new level.
He's a genius at making money, I'll give him that.
John Simon isn't really a respected critic.
