Poptique (06/09/2025)
Ripped from the recesses of a dusty old harddrive, for September 2025 Poptique via Soho Radio celebrates 100 years of big screen birthdays with this resurrected, totally re-edited & fully restored classic show from the same month five years back!
Nancy Dewe Mathews & Alison Dennison join Matthew Richardson to discuss Buster Keaton’s 1st solo starrer ‘One Week’, the 2nd Marx Brothers movie ‘Animal Crackers’ and the hectic life of their co-star Lillian Roth, alongside the Boris Karloff creepy thriller ‘The Isle of the Dead’, ‘Dr Who & the Daleks’, ‘What’s New Pussycat’ and forgotten 1970 teen musical from the Monkees’ producer, ‘Toomorrow’!
There’s also ‘Fragment of Fear’, ‘Desperately Seeking Susan’, ‘Rambo II’, ‘Nightmare of Elm Street’, ‘House Party’ and the bonkers rom-com ‘While You Were Sleeping’ – not to mention the Cohen Brother’s ‘Oh Brother Where Art Thou’, the incredible Playstation game ‘Vib Rbbon’ & last but not least, Edgar Wright’s one-of-a-kind ‘Scott Pilgrim vs The World’!
To top it all off, there’s mind-bending music from Noor Jehan, Lianne La Havas, The Vietnam All Stars, Duke Ellington, C.W. Stoneking, Devo, Johnny Harris, Run DMC, DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince, Fiona Apple, Madonna, Twinkle Park, Laugh & Peace, Plumtree and Adult DVD!
An epic of epic epicness if ever there was one – Poptique : your one-stop shop for a whole lotta film history and truly tremendous tunes!
