100 - FAHRENHEIT 451

Chris Arnsby join Jeremy for the final instalment of the run of special episodes outside the regular remit, celebrating the podcast's centenary with an edition on his favourite film, Francois Truffaut's adaptation of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451.

Their lengthy discussion covers a range of topics, including Britain's most influential filmmaker, a world without written language, modernist composers, the abolition of empathy, Ready Player One, The Space Sentinels and the early days of Channel 5.

Apologies for the sound quality, this was due to a fault in the main recording, requiring the backup to be used.

In the absence of a decent trailer - the original one spends too long salivating over Julie Christie - below is a selection of scenes from the film, and a suite of Bernard Herrmann’s score.
