Bums On Seats

Bums on Seats airs fortnightly, bringing you reviews of the latest cinema releases, covering the whole spectrum of genre and production budget. Our crack review team are passionate about movies and we go into each and every screening with the same high hopes. The on-air discussion is lively, forthright and often thought-provoking, not least because we often differ on what constitutes a ‘good film’.

This week, we’ve an absolute crackerjack of a show, with reviews of Baz Luhrmann’s heady adaptation of The Great Gatsby, Something in the Air, a tale of revolution from always interesting director Olivier Assayas, whilst Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson are cruising for a bruising once again in Fast and Furious 6. Plus, as the Cambridge Arts Picturehouse screen a double bill of Studio Ghibli, we talk to Andrew Partridge of All The Anime distribution about the history of Japanese animation; and we interview film-makers Clara Pais and Daniel Fawcett about the recently announced London Underground Film Festival.

Mark Liversidge makes his debut as show host, and he’s joined by regular reviewers Emma Marchant, Kim Boyd, Kevin Hilton and Gavin Midgley.
