Midnight Video

An archive of two chaps, a laptop and a mic attempting to unearth the lost, forgotten and overlooked in cinema.

Midnight Video 26 (Christmas Special): The Great Silence, My Favourite Year and Brain Damage

Giant turkeys, rivers of canned bitter and knitted monstrosities are just lurking around the corner for most people, but wait, 'Hark! The herald angels sing' Midnight Video are here to offer you an unseasonal respite in the form of a podcast that neatly attempts to side step the obvious, so if you're looking for reviews of festive faves such as Die Hard, Gremlins and Trading Places, well look elsewhere after soiling your ears with our mulled wine fuelled waffle.
Show 26 is a bit different in that three wise listeners very kindly offered us three cinematic treats to review.  The movie magi gifts consisted of The Great Silence, My Favourite Year and Brain Damage - an eclectic and unpredictable trio that is befitting of the show I think you'll agree.
