Episode 54: 24 Hour Party People

On this episode of Remainders, we watch the 2002 biographical
comedy drama 24 Hour Party People. Steve Coogan plays Tony Wilson
and follows his work in late 1970s and early 1980s post-punk with
such bands as Joy Division, New Order, and Happy Mondays.
Consistently breaking the fourth wall tied together with Coogan’s
brand of snark, the story of Manchester in the 70s is a pivotal
piece in the history of modern music.


Other topics include Poor Things and Yorgos Lanthimos, Russell
Mulcahy movies, True Detective, the idea of “selling out”,
personal punk and post-punk influences, Oasis drama, the work of
Billy Childish, and more British rock.
