The Geektown Radio podcast this week sees Gray join me once again to chat through the usual tv, film and (shockingly for Gray) gaming news, plus a look at the next week on tv. Additionally, we have an exclusive interview with 'Rocketman' and 'Mary Poppins Returns' Re-recording Mixer, Mike Prestwood Smith.Mike has been working in the film industry since the 90's and has amassed a huge list of credits on films ranging from 'Casino Royale', which won him a BAFTA, 'Captain Phillips', which gained him an Oscar nomination, various 'Harry Potter' movies, 'The Danish Girl', and the 'Kingsman' films. More recently, he has been working on Disney's 'Dumbo', 'Aladdin', 'Mary Poppins Returns', and the Elton John biopic, 'Rocketman', which is released onto streaming services this week, from Saturday, 14th September 2019.Directed by Dexter Fletcher, 'Rocketman' is the epic musical story about Elton John’s breakthrough years. The film follows the fantastical journey of transformation from shy piano prodigy Reginald Dwight into international superstar Elton John. This inspirational story – set to Elton John’s most beloved songs and performed by star Taron Egerton – tells the universally relatable story of how a small-town boy became one of the most iconic figures in pop culture. In the interview we chat about Mike's work on the film, along with delving into some of Disney's most beloved properties in movies such as 'Mary Poppins Returns'.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/geektown.
