See Hear Podcast episode 27 - Hard Core Logo
Episode 27
of See Hear Podcast is ready for your aural consumption.
So Tim, Bernard
and Maurice are discussing a film about a band who go on the road and…well…shit
happens. Could be any number of films? It’s a mock-documentary. Hmmm….still
leaves a couple of choices. Okay, it’s been cited as one of the greatest ever
films out of Canada. Okay, now you just have to know that we’re talking about
Hard Core Logo.
Bruce
McDonald released this gem in 1996 about a punk band that reform to do a
benefit gig, then follow up with five gigs through western Canada. Different ambitions and egos collide,
medications go missing, goats get sacrificed, and home truths get told. The
film is about friendships, trust, putting on a macho face to cover insecurity,
and investigates whether you should be able to have the same ambitions and life
at 35 year old, as when you were a 17 year old.
Not without
humour, but it is certainly a darker film than the one it’s frequently compared
to, “This Is Spinal Tap”. The See Hear crew really enjoyed recording this
episode for you. They even make links to some other films you would not obviously
think to compare HCL with. What were they? Tune in and find out
