See Hear Podcast episode 43 - We Are The Best!

We Are The Best! We Are The Best! No it's not the See Hear theme
song. It's the name of this month's film under discussion. Can you
imagine two grown men talking about a film on which the
plot revolves around three teenage girls forming a punk band
and only one of them has any musical chops? Imagine no further
because Maurice is joined by Hank Hellman to do just that. The
notions of friendship, being an outsider, sticking it
to parents (not always deservedly) and chocolate ice cream are
all universal themes, so the gents qualify to discuss Lukas
Moodyson's 2013 film based on a graphic novel by his wife Coco. The
film is funny, honest, scattered, and most importantly realistic.
This is not a Steven Spielberg tale of growing up and "learning
something" in the dying moments. It's about 3 friends having fun,
getting jealous, not always doing the right thing by each other,
and standing up for themselves in small ordinary ways....you
know....real life!!!! Bernie and Tim were not available since they
were practising in their Stiff Little Fingers tribute band.
They will return next month to much applause. The crew want to
thank Hank for once again coming onto the show and bringing the
film discussion thunder. Our door is always open to you, Hank. You
