Ashley Clark on GANGSTER NUMBER ONE

<p>Joining Paul this week is curatorial director of the Criterion Collection and author of The World of Black Film, Ashley Clark, to discuss the underappreciated 2000 British crime movie Gangster Number One. As well as digging into Ash&#39;s new book, in their conversation Ash and Paul discuss their respective starts in the rough and tumble world of film-blogging, how Ash keeps his in touch with his Streatham roots via the local Wimpy,  what ultimately motivates Ash&#39;s insane and relentless championing of the Tom Hardy concrete car classic Locke, and the British Gangster film revival of the new millennium - a golden age for the British crime film, or a right royal cockney barrel of monkeys? And as an added bonus, Paul makes the definitive top 11 list of the best movies that came out between 2011 and 2012. </p><p>Email us at ⁠o<a href="ldmoviespodcast@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">ldmoviespodcast@gmail.com</a></p><p>LIKE/SUPPORT/SUBSCRIBESupport the pod on Ko-fi: ⁠<a href="https://ko-fi.com/oldmoviespodcast" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://ko-fi.com/oldmoviespodcast</a>⁠Subscribe to the Youtube channel: <a href="⁠http://www.youtube.com/@OldMoviesPodcast⁠" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">⁠http://www.youtube.com/@OldMoviesPodcast⁠</a>Follow us on Instagram: <a href="⁠https://instagram.com/oldmoviespodcast⁠" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">⁠https://instagram.com/oldmoviespodcast⁠</a>Follow us on Bluesky: <a href="⁠https://bsky.app/profile/oldmoviespodcast.bsky.social⁠" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">⁠https://bsky.app/profile/oldmoviespodcast.bsky.social⁠</a>UPCOMING EVENTSTransmission Presents All-Nighter at Picturehouse Central - tickets here: <a href="⁠https://www.picturehouses.com/movie-details/000/HO00018052/all-nighter-transmission-presents/0000000120?filter=⁠"" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">⁠https://www.picturehouses.com/movie-details/000/HO00018052/all-nighter-transmission-presents/</a>Come and see Transmission&#39;s events at the Prince Charles Cinema: <a href="⁠https://princecharlescinema.com/seasons-events/tx/⁠" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">⁠https://princecharlescinema.com/seasons-events/tx/⁠</a>FURTHER LINKS/READINGBuy your copy of Ash&#39;s book <em>The World of Black Film</em> here: <a href="⁠https://amzn.eu/d/07VNDVHI" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">⁠https://amzn.eu/d/07VNDVHI</a>⁠&quot;Garry Mulholland&#39;s <em>This is Uncool: The 500 Greatest Songs Since Punk and Disco</em>: ⁠<a href="https://amzn.eu/d/098FTp5i⁠" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://amzn.eu/d/098FTp5i⁠</a></p><p>Ash&#39;s article on the Streatham Wimpy: <a href="https://ashleyclark.substack.com/p/wimpy-strong⁠" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">⁠https://ashleyclark.substack.com/p/wimpy-strong</a>It&#39;s A Right Royal Cockney Barrel of Monkeys: ⁠<a href="https://youtu.be/1bb_Pfgu-wg?si=006AGmPmbNr7SmEe⁠" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://youtu.be/1bb_Pfgu-wg?si=006AGmPmbNr7SmEe⁠</a></p><p><br></p>
