Podcast: The Awesome Bleakness Of The French Connection
Third episode, and to mix it up a little I’ve gone for something a little more recent with the infallible decay of The French Connection. It’s such a clever picture – efficient action delicately laced with the artistic degradation of a crime-ridden New York City. If you don’t fancy a listen just click here for…
Podcast: Unlike Your Usual Western, Thunderbolt And Lightfoot Captures Something Beautiful
Not strictly new – but kind of. For the second episode, I’ve gone for a Cimino classic: Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. And while the old review wasn’t bad, I’ve added a few touches to liven it up a little; I’m not sure if any of you read the previous version, and certainly none of you have…
Quiz: A Concerning Amount of Johnny Depp

Introducing: Over-The-Shoulder. Podcast.
Yes, it’s here, boys and girls. The Over-The-Shoulder Podcast. Excited? Don’t be. You will not be finding out who I really am, and you will not be granted any new content. However, if you did find yourself gawking at the 5,000 words in the ‘Seinfeld And Setbacks, Narcissism And Nespresso, Curb And Class’, you’ll be…
An Expeditious, Conspicuous And Requisite Update
A little post to catch you all up on what’s been and will be going on: No Reviews For You! Yes, unfortunately, Over-The-Shoulder is not yet up and running to full efficiency as of yet – that means no film and TV reviews. Commitments and work and such just mean it’s more impossible than ever,…
Quiz: Ring Ring Ring
Oh, the humanity. Once a staple of the greatest espionage films, advancements in glitzy technology means the phone box is a thing of the past in both real life and the movie business. But that doesn’t mean we here at Over-The-Shoulder can’t celebrate it one last time and remember some of it’s most iconic moments.…
Seinfeld And Setbacks, Narcissism And Nespresso, Curb And Class: An Essay About Nothing
Seinfeld blessed us with nine years of comedy gold. It was a sardonic narcotic like no other: dovetailed plot lines birthed from some of television’s greatest and most disturbed writers; misanthropic characters intent on questioning their most trivial confines; and detached, dead-on humour that revelled in depravity. The whole show was a love letter to…
Hiatus? Hiatus…
Yes, as many of you will have realised, I didn’t manage to get a review out on Friday, and unfortunately there won’t be a quiz today. A combination of what looks to be a very tough and very hectic (but exciting) year, alongside some tired apathy means I had to make a decision. Really, I…
