S2 Ep59: Pop Screen: Interstella 5555 - The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem (with Gav Smith)

Can you believe this is Pop Screen\'s first animated film? Better late than never, as Gav Smith of My Favourite Film rejoins us to talk about Interstella 5555 - The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem. A story as epic as its frankly overlong title, it was created by Daft Punk as both a homage to the anime they loved growing up and a visual accompaniment to their classic 2001 album Discovery.
\\n
\\nOn this week\'s episode, Gav and Graham discuss Daft Punk\'s career from their house beginnings to their increasing flirtations with disco and soft rock, the strange saga of the sample on their single \'One More Time\', and the fairly obvious problem with the spray-painting machine that disguises the film\'s blue-skinned aliens. It sounds like a lot, but it doesn\'t feel like Homework.
\\n
\\nIf you can forgive that pun, you\'ll definitely be able to cope with our Patreon, where donors get an exclusive episode of Pop Screen every month, full access to our other movie podcast Directors Uncut, Graham\'s twice-weekly Doctor Who reviews, and plenty of things that don\'t fit in anywhere else.
