TSAJS: 02/10/2010 'Buried' and 'The Other Guys' and much more!

This week, back to the beginning, as we record from the Ritzy in Brixton. Jo has travelled into London, via Durrington, to reflect on the week with some film news, the London Box-Office and his choices for The London Film Festival.

The main reviews are two-fold. Simon managed to watch Roderigo Cortes claustrophobic film Buried with the inevitable opinion of Sarah. There are no spoilers whatsoever for this film so feel free to listen knowing that your film experience won't be tainted. Jo finally watched Adam McKay's The Other Guys with an all-star cast in Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, Samuel L. Jackson, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Steve Coogan and the stunnign Eva Mendes amongst others. Michael Keaton for one.

Music

A varied selection due to the lack of soundtracks for Buried and Devil. The Other Guys does not seem to have a soundtrack available to the UK, but no matter, Simon hunted down the tracks by TLC - Waterfalls, Creep and No Scrubs - used, the Rage Against The Machine cover of Maggies Farm, The White Stripes Icky Thump and, what appears to be the only song officially linked to The Other Guys in Eva Mendes featured appearance on a track by Cee-Lo Green called Pimps Don't Cry. All tracks available in a bunch of places.

The One-Year Anniversary Simon and Jo Film Show!!!

One whole year ago, Jo and I tentatively recorded our first podcast discussing Sam Mendes and Andrea Arnold's Fish Tank.

This week, we celebrate our first Anniversary by recording live in Brighton, the seaside resort one-hour away from London, at The Bystander Cafe - reviewing The Town - Ben Afflecks follow-up film to Gone Baby Gone starring Ben Affleck, Jeremy Renner and Jon Hamm. This is followed up by a review of Devil, the M, Night Shyamalan-produced Horror-Thriller ... many mock Shyamalan for The Last Airbender ... but should they mock him for Devil.

It includes the latest films news, the London Box-Office and then a finish as Jo reviews London to Brighton and Simon reveals his choice of films at the London Film Festival 2010.

Lots of fantastic friends get involved - Sarah has her opinion on The Town, we hear from the missing Bangor Rep and many, many others.

Sit down, relax, get a coffee and get ready for the 1-hour Simon and Jo Film Show!
