Podcast appearances and mentions of bula quo

In this episode of The Quo-Cast, Jamie Dyer talks to Musician and Quo fan Aidan Johnson. He tells the story of how he got into Quo, his work with John Coghlan's Quo, McVention and Rhino's Revenge and the formation of his tribute band Break The Rules. Jamie and Aidan also discuss various Quo projects including Aquostic, Bula Quo and Rick Parfitt's solo album. Lastly, Jamie asks Aidan about the styles of each Quo drummer.

This week's film is one that Graham struggles to accept really exists - which is why it's a good job Mark Harrison from Film Stories has rejoined the podcast to reassure him that this wasn't a hallucination. Did we really watch a movie where Status Quo try and foil SNL veteran Jon Lovitz's underground organ trafficking ring in an extended homage to The Deer Hunter? It appears that we did, and now you can enjoy our confusion in podcast form. Among the many topics of discussion, we talk about Status Quo's very different reputations on both sides of the Atlantic, about their ill-fated 1990s lawsuit against Radio 1, about Lovitz's three claims to eternal fame, and about the film's mysterious attitude towards the news-gathering profession. There is also a bit about lollipops and a certain Steven Spielberg movie which made Graham laugh out loud when he was editing this, and that's never happened before. It's a good one, folks! If you want to keep us making podcasts that make us - and hopefully other people - laugh, you can donate to our Patreon, where you get a monthly bonus episode of this very podcast. The next one also features Mark - it's a retrospective of every single Bond theme and it's coming atcha in early September.

In this episode of The Quo-Cast, Musician and Author Greg Harper interviews Jamie Dyer about his love of Quo, with a focus on the 1980s onwards. They discuss Francis Rossi's productions (Incl Lee O'Brien), Bula Quo, Aquostic, In Search Of The Fourth Chord and more!

Everyone loves pop music, yeah? Just agree. Everyone likes movies, yeah? Of course, you do. So, what could be better than a magical twist of the two? Literally nothing at all. Cocaine donut sex? Get out of town. We'll take pop stars acting ANY DAY. After the fun we had laughing along with The Mighty Quo's antics in “Bula Quo”, this time we've enjoyed the cinematic sortie of that other pair of denim clad, down and dirty rockers, The Pet Shop Boys. Yes, The Pet Shop Boys made a film. Record companies still had money in the eighties, so when Neil and Chris couldn't be arsed touring, they made a feature film instead. What do the teenage pop kids want from The Pet Shop Boys film? We're not sure, but we're pretty certain it isn't dogfights over Beachy Head, Musical Hall comedy, the theory of the structure of time, leering men in postcard kiosks, a bloody big suitcase, Joss Ackland as a blind priest serial killer in high heels, or Chris Lowe throwing a plate of sausage and egg over Babs Windsor's head (she didn't make another film for thirteen years, you know...). Join Joe and John Stalemates on another cough-a-minute excavation of the pop mine, where we'll be hacking up great lumps of laughter. Joe was not keen on the film. John was perhaps slightly more so, but only because one of us had to be, in the interest of BBC style balance. What HAVE you done to deserve this?

Did you know that in 2013 Status Quo made a film? A film in which they are chased around Fiji by gangsters, stopping only to play ukulele versions of their biggest hits? Did you know it was directed by the Stunt Arranger from Mrs Brown's Boys, and the supporting cast is comprised solely of members of his family? Of course you didn't. You're normal decent people. You're watching the latest Suranne Jones 9 o'clock potboiler. A good job, then, that the Stalemates are here to pick up the slack. Because not only have they seen Bula Quo, John Stalemate actually owns it. Yes, the Stalemates are back - in the same room for the first time in two years and their excitement is palpable. Wine has been sloshed about, voices are raised, and opinions are aired like so much damp laundry. And between us we have a quantity of sopping linen. Find out that Joe was a teenage Quo fancier, what the band mean by "a polish", and hear a spirited defence of "Carry on Abroad" from the English Stalemate. Obviously. We're back. We're loud. We're nicher than ever. NB May contain factual innacuracies pertaining to classic tv cop show Ironside.

Dai Impossible, Welsh Superspy This week we are down a Ryan but gain a surprising amount of Comic trivia along the way. In off the Shelf, we continue our look at the filmography of Vera Chytilova with Second Run's release of Something Different, Rob looked at the baffling Marxist crow of a film that is Pasolini's Hawks and Sparrows before Aidan subjected himself to the outright horror that is Bula Quo. Our film of the week was John Hillcoat's Triple 9 - a very misleading title for us Brits.

Mark and Simon review the week's new films including The Internship, Now You See Me and Bula Quo!

With John Wilson. Emma Watson stars in The Bling Ring, Sofia Coppola's film about a teenage gang who raid the Hollywood homes of young celebrities. Jason Solomons reviews. Actress Anna Chancellor discusses her role as Amanda in Noel Coward's Private Lives on stage. Anna won acclaim for roles on TV in Spooks and Pramface and was nominated for a BAFTA for BBC One's The Hour - and is still remembered as Hugh Grant's jilted fiancée Duckface in Four Weddings and a Funeral. For Cultural Exchange, actor and musician Clarke Peters selects an anthropological book: They Came Before Columbus, by Dr Ivan Van Sertima. Dr Van Sertima argued that the Indians whom Columbus encountered had already met Africans, long before Columbus had got there. This would mean that Africans had first arrived in the Americas not as slaves, but far earlier - as explorers and traders. A new apocalyptic comedy This is the End features James Franco, Seth Rogen and Emily Watson playing James Franco, Seth Rogen and Emily Watson. And this week Status Quo make their movie debut in action-comedy caper Bula Quo!, playing none other than Status Quo. Critic Adam Smith looks into this cinematic habit of actors playing alternative versions of themselves in films. Producer Jerome Weatherald.
