Rec.On this episode we are joined by Jaume Balagueró & Paco Plaza. Jaume and Paco are directors of the movie Rec.Rec (stylized as [•REC]) is a Spanish supernatural zombie horror film franchise. The original 2007 film was shot in Barcelona, Spain and the title is an abbreviation of the word "record", as it appears on a video camera.Rec was followed by three sequels; Rec 2 in 2009, Rec 3: Genesis in 2012, and Rec 4: Apocalypse in 2014 as the final installment in the franchise.[2] Spanish company Filmax is responsible for the production of the REC franchise and released all four installments.The first film was remade in the United States as the 2008 film Quarantine.[7] Quarantine 2: Terminal was released in 2011. Although the sequel's plot picks up directly from where Quarantine leaves off, it is not a remake of Rec 2. Quarantine 2: Terminal takes the series in a completely different direction with its own rules and mythology different from those of the Rec series.Please support the Mark and Me Podcast here https://www.patreon.com/Markandme

Episode 111: Josh Mckeown (Palm Reader)
Sleepless. On this episode we are joined by Josh Mckeown from the band Palm Reader. Palm Reader in 2020 are almost unrecognisable from the savage, technical hydra that used to regularly see them described as the UK’s answer to The Dillinger Escape Plan. At this point, they use their brutal hardcore roots merely as a starting point; songs like ‘Ending Cycle’, ‘False Thirst’ and ‘A Bird and It’s Feathers’ are a conglomerate of disparate styles, the sort of compositions that can only be written with years of battle-hardened experience. They are songs that define a band not by constrictive genre boundaries but distinctive characteristics that mark them out as individual from their contemporaries. With ‘Sleepless’, Palm Reader are firmly establishing their own unique sense of identity.Please support the Mark and Me Podcast here https://www.patreon.com/Markandme
