Simon and Jo Film Show 01/01/2011: Tron: Legacy and THE Top 10 Films of 2010!

Back into the 'dream location' that is the Ritzy in Brixton, the main review is Tron and Jo and I have managed to watch Tron prior to watching Tron: Legacy. This gives us ample opportunity to discuss both films in relation to each other ...

We also manage to cover a bunch of news articles from the last two weeks whilst changing our Top London Box-Office to the Worldwide Box-Office of 2010.

Then, to finish, we reveal our favourite films of 2010. Just like last year, these are revealed to each other at the same time as revealing the information to you dear listener.

Music

All music between the breaks is from the incredible soundtrack to Tron: Legacy by Daft Punk, whilst during the Top 10 Films of 2010 the songs are the sounds from each film - except in the odd case where something wasn't available I got music from the trailer.

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 Simon and Jo Show Podcast

The first of many, I would like to think. In this podcast we discuss this weeks releases - District 9, Fishtank, (500) Days of Summer and Dorian Gray while also focussing on the work of Sam Mendes.

In time, I would like to think that you can download it direct from this site but currently you can only 'subscribe' and all that stuff via the 'mypodcast' website which is the link above. Works perfectly for me but I strongly advise you to have a listen!

Its the first one so be kind -but tell us if you think we could improve something!
