Filmen The Matrix är en storslagen dystopi som fortsätter att fascinera, inspirera och ge upphov till nya tolkningar och trender drygt tjugo år efter sin premiär. I somras blev filmen återigen aktuell, efter att en av dess upphovspersoner Lilly Wachowski bekräftade att teorierna om transsexualitet som ett underliggande tema i The Matrix stämmer. I veckans program pratar vi med kulturjournalisten Johanna Paulsson och modejournalisten Anna Blom om läderrocken. Vi träffar också kampsportsveteranerna Thabo Motsieola och Peder Finnsjö. Och så pratar vi med serietecknaren Steven Appleby, aktuell med serieromanen Dragman, om transsuperhjälten August Crimp a.k.a. Dragman. Veckans gäst är Kent Werne, författare till boken Allt är en konspiration en resa genom underlandet.

Steven Appleby’s comic strips have graced the pages of many national newspapers including The Guardian, The Times, The Daily Telegraph, and The Observer. Now he’s created his first graphic novel, Dragman - a thriller about August Crimp who discovers that wearing women’s clothing gives him the power of flight. As his superhero alter ego, Dragman, he’s on the case of the missing souls, but can he also use his powers to save his marriage and himself? Playwright Sally Abbott discusses her new play, directed by Kathy Burke, that helps to mark 25 years of Frantic Assembly and their distinctively physical take on theatre. I Think We Are Alone is a multi-stranded story of the connections - and disconnections - between people and their desire for intimacy. Humans hunting humans for sport – this is the theme of two new films, The Hunt and Bacurau, both seemingly inspired by the 1920s short story The Most Dangerous Game. Controversial thriller The Hunt is a satire of the American political landscape, with a liberal elite hunting conservative 'deplorables'; while Bacurau explores neo-colonial tensions with a small Brazilian village held siege by bloodthirsty American and European hunters. Mark Eccleston reviews. Presenter Samira Ahmed Producer Jerome Weatherald
We pay a visit to artist Steven Appleby at his Camberwell studio to talk about his work in the NME, in animation, on the radio and 'The Good Inn', a new book co-written by Black Francis of The Pixies and Josh Frank, which Steven has provided illustrations for.
Libby Purves meets cartoonist Steven Appleby; folk singer and Mercury Prize nominee Sam Lee; broadcasters Des Lynam and Christopher Matthew and spider expert Jan Beccaloni. Jan Beccaloni is the curator of arachnida and myriapoda at the Natural History Museum in London. The class arachnida includes a diverse group of arthropods: spiders, scorpions, ticks, mites, harvestmen, and their cousins. Jan is the conservation officer for the British Arachnological Society. Folk musician Sam Lee has been nominated for this year's Mercury Prize for his debut album 'Ground of Its Own'. The album is made up of traditional material, largely discovered through Sam's extensive research and exploration of long forgotten songs. He sourced most of his material direct from English gypsy and Irish and Scottish traveller communities. 'Ground of Its Own' is released on The Nest Collective label. Steven Appleby is a cartoonist and illustrator. His new book 'Guide to Life' is a collection of his strip Loomus which appears in the Guardian newspaper. From dodgy Christmas presents to born-again nudists, his cartoons provide an idiosyncratic guide to everyday family life. 'Guide to Life - the collected Loomus cartoons' is published by Guardian Books. Broadcasters Des Lynam OBE and Christopher Matthew present the series Touchline Tales on BBC Radio 4. In the programmes they visit sporting venues around the country to observe, reminisce and simply trade tales about some of the greatest pleasures in their lives. A CD 'Best of Touchline Tales' is available and a new series begins in November. Producer: Paula McGinley.
