[Season 1 Paul W.S. Anderson] Episode 1: Shopping (1994) [Audio Podcast Discussion]

*Originally published on March 28, 2018* Kicking off our first season looking at the films of director Paul W.S. Anderson starting with his debut film Shopping Released in 1994 to a mixed critical response and much disdain from the BBFC Paul W.S Anderson’s Shopping gave a pre-apocalyptic vision of an unnamed British city in which the recently released joyrider Billy (played by an impossibly young Jude Law) and his best friend Jo (played by Law’s future ex-wife Sadie Frost). Here they set out to leave their mark on the city along the way clashing with Jonathan Pryce’s authoritarian chief of police and Sean Pertwee’s rival gang leader Tommy in what could have been seen as sparking the revival of the British independent scene had it not been eclipsed by the release of Danny Boyle’s Shallow Grave the following year. Join us in the booth as we discuss this debut as well as looking at the rebel girls of the 90’s, questionable fashion sense and downbeat endings plus much more!!
