Guitar Hero 2/Sunshine/Curse of the Golden Flower

This is a discussion podcast for all you hip cats as obsessed with movies, video games and the internet as we are. Each week we’ll be discussing whatever has been consuming our lives. We’re not journalists, just average Joe’s, and the balance of personalities means we’ll hopefully be entertaining and relevant.

For the first episode, amongst other things Tony talks about how addictive Guitar Hero II is, Paul reviews Danny Boyle’s Sunshine and Alex rants about Kung Fu epic Curse of the Golden Flower.

Soon we’ll be having guest hosts and regular spots for the most popular bits. Drop us a line to let us know how we’re doing at digitalcowboys@googlemail.com to tell us what you think of the show, how it could be improved and what you’d like to hear about. Happy listening.

Alex, Paul and Tony

The Music at the beginning and end of the show is ‘Love Song’ by Mark Tschanz, who has very kindly given me permission to use it in a non-profit capacity. If you can find it, his 1995 album Blue Dog is one of my favourites of all time. You rock, Mark!

An introduction to the team:

Alex Shaw (Left): A former Film student from the less respectable of the two Colleges in York, Alex dropped out, flat broke after the first year and became a waiter while he wrote his Sci-Fi opus. This year he decided to get back to doing what he originally intended and is planning several no-budget films. Prone to knee-jerk reactions and bad jokes, but good at the rants and possessing an exhaustive memory for movie trivia and video game history. He’s also a supervisor at The Gap.

Tony Atkins (Right): Forgoing further education, Tony crafted his career as a landscape gardener early. Placid and thoughtful, he tends to speak only when necessary and tries not to tread on people’s toes. However beneath that affable exterior lies the heart of a video-game assassin, trained to devour games in a single weekend. Tony possesses an addictive personality and a highly competitive streak, but is frequently able to root out the balanced viewpoint.

Enjoy!
