Father Malone's Weekly Guest Spot - 24 Hour Party People (2002) - The Projection Booth
About this episode
The episode features a discussion on the film '24 Hour Party People' and its portrayal of the Manchester music scene.
From The Projection Booth: Guest Co-Hosts: Father Malone, Axel Kohagen We continue another Patreon month with a pick from Andrew Henrickson: 24 Hour Party People (2002). Join Mike White, Father Malone, and Axel Kohagen as they dive into Michael Winterbottom's electric chronicle of the Manchester music scene, told through the eyes of the ever-charismatic Tony Wilson (Steve Coogan). From Factory Records to the legendary Hacienda, the film brims with unforgettable moments and a who's who of '80s post-punk history, including standout performances by Lennie James, Paddy Consadine, and more. We were supposed to speak with screenwriter Frank Cottrell Boyce again for the episode but it didn't happen this time.
