Description

Hello! Welcome to the second episode of Rogue Commentary, the audio commentary podcast.
This episode heralds a Triumph of British filmmaking as we delve into that rarest of subgenres – the British road movie – with "Soft Top Hard Shoulder" (1992), starring Peter Capaldi, Frances Barber, Simon Callow, Jeremy Northam and Phyllis Logan. 
We're delighted to be joined on this occasion by director Stefan Schwartz – who has given us episodes of Luther, The Walking Dead, Fear the Walking Dead and The Boys – and producer Richard Holmes (Eden Lake, Shooting Fish, The Ritual), for whom Soft Top Hard Shoulder marked their feature film debut. (They had previously collaborated on a short film, The Lake, also featuring Peter Capaldi and Frances Barber.)
As always, you can listen as a podcast, or cue it up to a copy of the film – if you can find one. It's been notoriously difficult to track down, although all that's about to change, as it's being released for the first time on Blu-ray on October 26 – you can pre-order now by clicking here.
