I’m at work. You should be grateful there’s any kind of podcast at all. It’s b een a while since there’s been a pediconochromatic so here is one recorded on my mobile phone rather than the dictaphone because Duncan forgot it. But then being as he’s become a dad again recently, that’s forgivable. Anyway here’s the podcast…
We’re back and hopefully a bit louder than last time. We talk of quite a few things no new movie releases. Anyway here’s what’s on
Stander
The Sentinel (1977)
Bound
Hellbound: Hellraiser 2
Grimm
Homeland
Once Upon a Time
And er Bob The Builder
With music from New Model Army and Skeletal Family.

Here we go with another podcast, meaning that we’ve managed quite a few weeks in a row here. Which is quite pleasing. Here’s what this one is about.

Film Reviews:
(Terror at the) Opera
Mirror Mirror
Street Dance 2
Wrath of the Titans
and a look at old arcade games:
Elevator Action Returns
Captain Commando
And exclusive music from:
What Derek doesn’t realize is that we don’t actually speak English – to us it sounds like a tongue shared by our listeners, but we actually speak like “Yip Yip ack ACK yip”. So in addition to converting the files and mixing them, I have to run the audio through a translation program with human speech synthesis. Since there’s no “posh Doncaster” accent freely available, I had to write this software myself – and rewrite it every time because for some reason our non-euclidian alien tongue corrupts the program as it is fed through. Not only that, for some piddling reason, I can’t use a high-level programming language. I have to write it in binary machine code using a microscopic magnet to directly flip the bits on my hard drive plates.
Anyway, we talk about The Hunger Games fresh from the screen, but we ramble on a bit too long. Fortunately a cartoon monkey saves the day.
Duncan thinks he’s got it hard? I have to set up my studio for recording, check levels and that everything is switched on, create a running order, get special guests involved and then record it. After which I export it to a wav, edit it slightly in ableton, create a mock radio 5 live podcast intro, convert to mp3, create a cover image THEN upload to the website and write all this gumpf.
Anyway this time we talk about:
The Beaver
Vidal Sassoon the Movie
Hogfather. AGAIN.
Watchmen/Alan Moore
Hunger Games (but this should have been after the pediconochromatic about it)
21 Jump Street
We are joined by special guest Wyl Christie. That’s it. Now go and listen.
So first I have to press record on the voice recorder, then we have to waffle for 15 minutes, then I have to connect it to my computer, then I have to transfer the files over, then I have to convert them from WMA to WAV, then I have to splice the files together in Audacity, then I have to export it as an MP3, then I have to log into Derek’s hosting service and create a new sub-domain for it and wait for it to appear, then I have to upload the MP3 via FTP, then I have to write this balony and link the file.
Folks, there’s a lot of hard work required to be this crap.
Anyway, reviews of The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret and Hard Candy.
In this episode of 65,000,000 words we talk about many things, fools and kings but discover the greatest thing you’ll ever learn won’t be learned on Iconochromatic. As such though we discuss the following:
John Carter
The Raven
War Inc.
Wings
It (1927)
Beyond Reanimator
Contrab(“r” – Simon Mayo)and
Harvet Moon Bazaar (or something)
Jewel Quest Masters
Don’t expect to be properly enlightened about them afterwards. There’s also music from Toyah.
That’s it. Nothing more.
