Over the Edge Radio Show on the movies


The radio show Over the Edge which has been running for almost 4 decades is done by members of the group Negativland does 3 or 5 hour audio collages on various subjects.  Some shows are free form collections and others have themes or subjects (UFOs, The History of Radio, Lenny Bruce, The Shadow radio show, holidays)

One of the things they did was a series of shows on the movies. They are interesting audio explorations of cinema- that wander all over the place in unexpected way.  

I recommend the sh.ows- but if you listen be ready to work with them and go in knowing that some moments are better than others. If you can do that you will find the show will force you to think about things in a whole new way

There are the five shows called 24 Frames a Second on films.

PART 1
PART 2 (includes Clive Barker and George Romero talking horror)
PART 3 (The Wizard of Oz)
PART 4
PART 5

And this is another show on movies:

SUNDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES

A show of BLADERUNNER remixed

And they did two shows referencing David Lynch:

LOST IN THE DUNES
FIRE WALK WITH ME

There are other shows referencing films - but I'll leave you to hunt them down.

(A BONUS show- this is a CHRISTMAS EVE show running 7 hours. It's a wild fantasia on the holidays that uses the audio of a Barbie Christmas Video Tape as the spine of the show It's a magically weird trip)
