Episode 23: The Boys (1962) & Shanne Bradley of The Nips  Episode 23 is all about generational conflict – specifically, older people disapproving of “kids today”. In the film chat, Dom talks to members of the South Bank Talkies movie discussion group about https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054697/ (The Boys) (1962), a courtroom drama in which four young men are on trial for murder. Starring https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0840303/?ref_=tt_cl_t3 (Dudley Sutton), https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0175669/?ref_=tt_cl_t6 (Jess Conrad), https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0307821/?ref_=tt_cl_t5 (Tony Garnett) and https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0479951/?ref_=tt_cl_t4 (Ronald Lacey) as the boys, they also have to contend with the prejudice of the court & witnesses against “teddy boys”. The film has a great ensemble cast including https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0865262/ (Richard Todd) and https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0605923/ (Robert Morley) as the barristers and https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0455702/ (Roy Kinnear), https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0104183/ (Wilfred Bramble), https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0924576/ (Carol White) and https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0517084/ (David Lodge).

In the episode, I mistakenly call Tony Garnett, Tony Garrett and refer to the character called Webster as Webb. Apols. We also met up with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanne_Bradley (Shanne Bradley), founder member of punk band, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nipple_Erectors (The Nipple Erectors) (later abbreviated to The Nips) to hear about her time on the punk scene and how she views subsequent youth subcultures that have come along.
