**Drunken Sake Shenanigans**

This week our Film of the Week is a hotly-tipped adaptation of a cult British novel about gangland youth - but don't worry, Graham is on hand to nurse Mick through his Absolute Beginners flashbacks. This is a very different proposition - it's Idris Elba's directorial debut Yardie. Did you know star Aml Ameen was one of the kids on stage when Jarvis Cocker interrupted Michael Jackson's Brits performance? That's not even a joke, it's a bonus fact.  

After that, two very different films in Off the Shelf. Our new friends at Network have given Graham a Blu-ray of the long-lost grindhouse loonfest Miss Leslie's Dolls, while Arrow supply Mick with the samurai classic Bloody Sword at Mount Fuji!, which he describes as being very charming for 74 minutes then deeply disturbing for 20\. Much like this podcast, then. Only longer.

If you enjoy the show, send us a star rating on your podcast provider of choice. Or head over to our PATREON ([www.patreon.com/thegeekshow](www.patreon.com/thegeekshow)) and send some support our way. Until next time with another director's lottery episode, keep it Eclectica.
