Alex and George both loved it too and sat down to pull the entire thing apart.

Y’all know us. Know how we make a podcast. We’ll record this top 5 for you, but it ain’t gonna be easy. Big films. Not like going down the pond chasin’ Wes Anderson and David Lynch. This director, swallow you whole. Little suspense, little adventure, an’ down you go. And we gotta do it quick, that’ll bring back our listeners, put all our episodes on a reviewin’ basis. But it’s not gonna be pleasant. We value our necks a lot more than three thousand downloads, chief. We’ll talk about him for free, but we’ll rank him, and rate him, for free (also.) But you’ve gotta make up your minds. If you want to stay alive, then download us. If you want to play it cheap, be on welfare the whole winter. We don’t want no volunteers, we don’t want no mates, there’s just too many podcasts on this island. $10,000 for us by ourselves. For that you get the culture catch up, the MyTube, the whole damn top 5. ...If that tortured attempt at quoting Quint didn't make it obvious, we're back and starting 2022 with our big Top 5 episode covering Steven Spielberg! We've got that for you, along with the usual dose of culture catch up and a special look at 2022's upcoming films. The episode will be hitting podcast feeds on Thursday morning, so plug in!  Please download, listen and tell your friends about us!

It's time for another Culture Bucket special! For the first time ever George and Alex are doing a deep dive on an album. If you've listened to much Culture Bucket you'll know that George and Alex have a lot of appreciation for the Bristol based IDLES and they've just put out their fourth studio album, CRAWLER. It's a mammoth piece of work with all the punch and fury of their past releases but with hidden layers of depth. There are so many moments on this album that feel completely new to the IDLES sound but feel totally at home at the same time. So, with so much to discuss, settle in and listen to George and Alex pull every track apart and do our best to discuss how we feel about it and what we think it all means. Hope you enjoy it and please let us know if you have a listen and have any thoughts of your own!
