POPULARITY
A change of pace this week as we introduce our new stream of Patreon-exclusive bonus content with a feature-length free sample. Joining the already-established Album Club is the NO ENCORE Film Club, in which Dave Hanratty and ex-Le Galaxie hitman Michael Pope convene to discuss the plot mechanics, onscreen standout performances, offscreen production anecdotes, and overall pop culture legacy of a chosen film. Unlike the currently-on-hiatus NO POPCORN, there does not need to be a music-related connection to the motion picture in question, so it's a free-for-all of cinematic offerings - both good and bad - that take our fancy. And so the boys kick things off in boisterous cyberpunk style with 1995 box office bomb turned cult favourite - HACKERS. A chilling vision of things to come, or a crazy swing-and-miss attempt to capture sexy technological zeitgeist and future all at once? Dave and Michael run through the plot, soundtrack, casting, and general notoriety of a film that confounded critics yet created a die-hard community that persists to this day. The first episode of Film Club is free to all ears. Subsequent episodes will be housed exclusively at patreon.com/noencore and will drop on the second Sunday of the month, alternating between new episodes of Album Club. If you like what you hear and want more, please consider supporting our show. And remember; HACK THE PLANET~!-Follow Dave and Michael on Letterboxd Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

With her powerful voice and equally incredible band, Fight Like Aoes, Maykay belted onto the scene in the early noughties and absolutely lit up the Irish music scene. After 3 albums the band went their separate ways but her journey sontinued with the likes of the isonic Le Galaxie and collaborations with the likes of Elaine Mai. As much a force for good in front of the camera as she is behind the mic, she has helmed coverage for Other Voices for 8nyears and has recently travelled to Palestine to help those that need it to find their own powerful voice. With the announcement of another FLA gig next year, she dropped into Recored History to share her story and 3 supreme record picks. Enjoy! If Maykay inspires you to go and buy one of the records she mentions (or just one from your own Recorded History) then we'd love if you supported our partners at TheRecordHub.com. They've given us a 15% discount code to pass on so use TRHPod15 at TheRecordHub.com to avail of that generous offer.
Okay, there's 'It's been a while' and then there's 'We haven't had a new one of these in a full year' – please welcome back the one, the only, NO POPCORN~!Fashionably late to an unacceptable degree, the 'Movies x Music' side project of NO ENCORE finally returns with a bang – it's time to talk all about TÁR. Dave Hanratty is joined by ace pop culture journalist Jenn Gannon and former Le Galaxie frontman Michael Pope to discuss the incredible orchestral psychological thriller union of director Todd Field and actor Cate Blanchett. A complex motion picture, and a pretty tremendous one. What does TÁR have to say about 'cancel culture'? What do we think of its much-discussed ending? Was Cate Blanchett being serious when she described this as a "potentially career-ending" role? And how does The Blair Witch Project fit in?All of this and much more is discussed in this very episode. Every NO POPCORN episode to date is available on Spotify here: https://tinyurl.com/y6m24m82 Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
