Steve Stamp lays out his journey of Kurupt FM's humble webisode beginnings to being picked by the BBC for 5 series. He details how he approached the writing, being scared when he had to actually act, and how it felt collecting his BAFTA. He also covers working on the excellent The Curse with comedy powerhouse Tom Davis and 'sweetheart' Michael Smiley, and which actor would shout at the floor to get into the right frame of mind. And then his other baby, Peacock, and it's inception and development of story and characters from season 1 to the recently released season 2. Oh, and of course, he talks about his sex scenes in the show. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode of the 30 Screams or Less podcast, we review 'Kill List', directed by Ben Wheatley, written by Ben Wheatley and Amy Jump starring Neil Maskell as Jay, MyAnna Burring as Shel, Michael Smiley as Gal, and Emma Fryer as Fiona. The plot of this movie is nearly a year after a botched job, a hitman takes a new assignment with the promise of a big payoff for these three killings. What starts off as an easy task soon unravels, sending the killer into the heart of darkness.

Censor. Tune in as Ear for Fear chats fiction vs. reality. Is Censor a worthy addition for the viewing board, or does it need to be excommunicated from the video nasty list?

Kill List is a 2011 British psychological horror crime film directed by Ben Wheatley, co-written and co-edited with Amy Jump, and starring Neil Maskell, MyAnna Buring and Michael Smiley.When a British soldier returns home from Kyiv, he joins an old friend in working as contract killers. His disturbed past surfaces as he spins out of control during jobs and ominous employers raise the stakes. It was filmed in Sheffield, South Yorkshire in England.

Ben Wheatley's films are back in the hot seat (third time this year!) as two of our usual three hosts sit down and draw some comparisons to last episode's Midsommar and folk/weird horror in general.  next ep: John Hyams' Alone

Já estava demorando para falarmos de Yorgos Lanthimos. Desculpem o atraso e um muito obrigado a nossa ouvinte @juliabiscegli, que felizmente nos recomendou esse brilhante diretor. Seus filmes apresentam ao espectador universos à parte, construídos com base em regras e comportamentos semelhantes aos do mundo real, porém ligeiramente distintos, estranhos, bizarros. O Lagosta nos oferece dois mundos: o Hotel e a Floresta, cada um com suas normas de conduta específicas, ambas igualmente estritas e autoritárias. O filme talvez seja um dos mais satíricos de sua curta filmografia. Para os apreciadores de humor negro, não há melhor pedida. A película, inclusive, está entre as 10 melhores sátiras de todos os tempos, escolhidas pelo canal Cinefix, o qual recomendamos a todos que adoram a sétima arte. Confira o link para o vídeo na Bio do nosso perfil no Instagram. Não deixe de acompanhar, portanto, a nossa discussão sobre a relação entre estado civil e status social; as convenções rígidas e muitas vezes absurdas que regem as relações amorosas; a Lei da Selva e a Selva da Lei; e sobre qual animal você gostaria de ser. Pensando especialmente naqueles que escutam o episódio até o fim, vai ter uma surpresinha no Instagram na semana que vem. Não percam! Quer fazer um comentário, uma crítica ou uma sugestão? Envie um email a saladeprojecaopodcast@gmail.com ou mande mensagem em nossas redes sociais e responderemos em breve. Ficha do Filme: O Lagosta (The Lobster), 2015. Direção: Yorgos Lanthimos.

I honestly don't know what's wrong with Rich Wilson. By which I mean that he is a joyous artist and, having fallen prey to the trope of the "tortured artist" so many times in my life, I find his persistent good cheer hard to understand. I also feel an incredibly deep kinship with this man on the other side of the ocean who I think I've actually only hung out with in person twice. Rich's podcast, Insane in the Men Brain is brilliant enough that I consider it canon for my own podcast, by which I mean that I intend to rip it off as mercilessly as possible. As soon as I broke down and finally decided to do this silly thing, I knew I had to get Rich on as one of my first guests. Rich Wilson is a multi award winning comedian and podcast host. For the first 10 years of his comedy career, Rich cut his comedic teeth at all of the UK's major comedy clubs and has remained a steadfast presence on the British comedy circuit ever since. This has taken him around the world, culminating in multi award winning, sell out shows at the biggest comedy festivals such as Melbourne, Perth and New Zealand. In 2017 Rich won “Best International Act” at the New Zealand Comedy Festival and was nominated for the same award the following year. In 2019 he won another comedy award for “Best show of the Festival” with Just Be Botanicals at the Edinburgh Fringe festival. Rich Wilson is a multi award winning comedian and podcast host of Insane In The Men Brain and Insane In The Fem Brain where he talks to funny and interesting people about their experiences with mental health featuring interviews with Heston Blumenthal, Felicity Hayward, Nicholas Pinnock, Michael Smiley, Jessica Fostekew, Scroobius Pip and many more. He has earned himself an award for “Best Podcast” with JOE and gained a nomination for “Best Social Conscience Podcast” at the Podbible Poll Winners Awards. Rich is also an indemand podcast guest and has been featured on: BBC Radio 4's You'll Do, Global Radio's Job's A Goodun, Scroobius Pip's Distraction Pieces and Dave's Conversations Against Living Miserably.

I'm back with another review, this time of the 'West Walian Western' The Toll. On the Pembrokeshire border, a man (Smiley) working solo shifts in the quietest toll booth in Wales, hides from a criminal past where nobody would ever look. As his past actions catch up with him and his peace is shattered, he enlists the help of local ne'er-do-wells and oddballs, including a female Elvis impersonator, rampaging triplets and disgruntled sheep farmers, while village police officer Catrin (Elwy) grows increasingly suspicious… With an all-star cast of British talent, The Toll is a deliciously dark journey into the wild west of Wales from debut director Ryan Andrew Hooper. The Toll stars Michael Smiley, Iwan Rheon, Paul Kaye, Annes Elwy, Steve Oram (Sightseers) and Julian Glover (The Empire Strikes Back, For Your Eyes Only).

The best (and only) character actor podcast in the world returns! For their first episode back Andrew and Stephen head north to talk the career of Michael Smiley. A Northern Irishman, Smiley got his start as the rave-obsessed bike courier Tyres O'Flaherty in Edgar Wright's sitcom Spaced. His first major supporting film role came in 2008's Outpost. From there he began a series of collaborations with Ben Wheatley including Down Terrace, Kill List, A Field in England and Free Fire. Well known for his musical accent, cutting line deliveries and glowering menace, Smiley has put all three to use in the thrillers Black Sea and Come to Daddy, the Irish folk horror The Hallow and the RTÉ TV comedy Dead Still. He is set to appear in Censor and Gunpowder Milkshake later this year.

Dipping our toe into the world of Victorian Momento Mori -in this episode of Deadly Doses, we speak to the writer and creator of the phenomenally successful TV show “Dead Still” starring Michael Smiley as Brock Blennerhasset a memorial portraiture photographer in 1880s Ireland who becomes embroiled in series of suspicious and macabre deaths. For his picks-John takes us all the way back to the 1960's as we explore the emergence of "New Horror" with Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" (1960) and staying in the 60's we revel in the nihilism of George Romero's canonical "Night of the Living Dead" (1968).

This time the lads pay the toll with this quirky black comedy fronted by Belfast's own Michael Smiley as the mysterious "Toll Booth". The ambiguous "Toll Booth" has carved out a small criminal empire in rural wales but when his old colleagues come looking for him and a series of eccentric individuals head for a violent showdown the ambiguous "Toll Booth" must plot his way out. A violent comedy with elements of classic westerns this rich world and wacky characters create a rich witty comedy with a lot to offer.
