  • Chinatown (1974)
    Nov 20 2024

    We’ve done it Cornheads, a quarter century of episodes!


    To celebrate this momentous occasion this week we are looking at the monumental Chinatown, directed by the controversial Roman Polanski, with one of the greatest screenplays ever written from the late great Robert Towne, and starring the immortal Jack Nicholson alongside Faye Dunaway.


    This is undoubtedly one of my top 5 favourite films, and it always will be, it’s nothing short of magnificent.

  • School of Rock (2003)
    Nov 13 2024

    This week we’re looking at Richard Linklater’s School of Rock!


    Dewey Finn, an enthusiastic and somewhat obnoxious guitar player gets kicked out of his band. In his struggle to pay the rent, he ends up posing as his room mate Ned Shneebley, so he can work as a substitute teacher in a prestigious Prep school.


    One of the greatest family films of the last 30 years, heartwarming and inspirational, with a terrific performance from Jack Black.


    It was a film that parents could enjoy more than kids, but also introduced a new generation to classic rock music.


    Let’s rock, let’s rock, today.

  • Happiness (1998)
    Nov 6 2024

    This week we’re looking at Happiness!


    One of the most controversial films of the 90s, this film will absolutely split the room believe me.


    The film is about emotionally isolated individuals, desperate for some sort of fulfilment in life. What makes the film so interesting and controversial is how it tries to find the humanity in, for the most part, the worst kind of people.


    If you’re a fan of very very dark humour, this is for you, but good luck.
