39. Helen Howcroft - My Movie DNA

In episode 39, Johnny talks to fellow record collector and movie nut Helen Howcroft.

Helen lives in Christchurch, New Zealand and is a big fan of the Beastie Boys, all things that groove, and gangster movies.

Their chat includes an in-depth look at the films of Martin Scorsese, David Lynch and Peter Greenaway, they discuss those weird saloon doors in New Zealand video stores, and they talk about whether it’s morally acceptable to show your child The Adventures Of Milo And Otis.

This conversation was recorded online in late-March of 2025.

Thanks to James Van As who wrote and performed the brilliant podcast music (check out James' ⁠Loco Looper⁠ game) and to Willow Van As who designed the amazing artwork and provided general podcast support.
