Has Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson gone from himbo to highbrow? In this episode of The Parallax Podcast, hosts Luke Buckmaster and Rich Haridy discuss Pattinson’s latest film, Cosmopolis, a bold post-GFC talkfest from veteran director David Cronenberg.
They dissect two features from anti-auteur Steven Soderbergh: his male stripper movie Magic Mike (now playing in cinemas) and stylistic action flick Haywire (now on DVD), plus Bruce Robinson’s The Rum Diary (starring Johnny Depp).
Cult film guru Zak Hepburn joins the podcast couch to reminisce on the 1989 comedy UHF, starring Weird Al Yankovic in his first and only feature film role.
