Recovering Queen. The Queen Fan podcast where we talk about and play the songs we love with Jai, Matt, and Ian.

Ian:

Welcome to Recovering Queen, the podcast in which we normally talk about a Queen track, but we're gonna talk about a film based about the life of Queen this time. And then we're gonna talk about the methods and the madness of how that film was made, and then all watch it together in a big room with loads of other Queen fans. A film about the best band in the world ever. Queen. I mean, that's catchy. My name's Ian, and with the Oh, it's difficult when we're not doing it about that, when we're doing it about something else. Matt, why don't you tell everyone what's going on?

Matt:

Oh, come on, Ian. Do you know what? That's the first time I haven't been impressed by your like sitting there, me and Jay in wonder of how you do it week in and weekend. Welcome to the Recovering Queen podcast, where we talk about the methods and the madness of the greatest band of all time. This week we shall be delving into Bohemian Rhapsody, the film.

Ian:

Documentary.

Matt:

Well, yes, as Ian calls it, a documentary. Although we're not going to discuss it today. We're going to leave that for the 5th of December. And why is that, Ian?

Ian:

It is. We are going to host a very special evening in London's Regent Cinema. No less. Where we and a select gathering of Queen fans are going to um enjoy said documentary and then have a bit of a chat about it afterwards. Maybe before as well.

Jai:

Bohemian Rhapsody, 5th of December, Regency Cinema. We'll be there. So will you, hopefully. And then we'll have a chat about it and we'll watch it and we'll have a great time.

Matt:

Yeah, and and we will have Sam Sparrow with us, our normal musicologist. Uh there'll be a f I reckon we'll get a few of the other people that have contributed as well. Oh, super. So not confirmed, but we shall but they'll be there too. So I don't think you can really call yourself a proper Queen fan if you live near London and don't come. That's what I think.

Ian:

Definitely. Well, I'll definitely be there, and I definitely live near London.

Matt:

So hang on, how much is it? If you go to RegentStreetCinema.com, you'll find it. And and it's at 7 pm. Students can go for 15, adults can go for 17, seniors can go for 15.

Ian:

I assume when they say students, they don't mean students of Queen. They mean students, don't they?

Matt:

Yeah, I think they do mean students.

Ian:

Because aren't we all students of Queen, really?

Matt:

Uh yes, I I I think they mean official students rather than something that you just made up.

Jai:

Can you buy like beers there or anything like that? Is it is it one of those cinemas that's that's sort of you know you can have a four.

Matt:

It's encouraged, it's encouraged, Jay. It's encouraged to have beers. Not beer. It's a really good point because not only that, we shall be uh creating special queen-related cocktails. So there'll be a couple of queen-related cocktails that will be available at the bar. That sounds interesting. Well, I reckon they're gonna have to be vodka based. I don't know because I'm I'm going down there this week to uh talk to the vodka to talk to the vodka person, to talk to the cocktail.

Jai:

He's obsessed, he's obsessed. We've got the whiskey guy in and we've got the gin guy in, but it's gonna be vodka and moe and shandon.

Ian:

What's that called? Oh yeah, yeah, that'll be literally none of us will get to the end of the film if we're drinking those.

Jai:

So we watch the film, we'll we'll have a little chat, we'll either present it or we'll talk at the end. I don't know which of those two options, or maybe both. And then at the end, is there anywhere to go to have a sort of after show drink or anything like that in the cinema?

Matt:

Well, that we we come out of the we'll we'll be on stage on the cinema immediately after. We'll have a little all have a little chat about the film, people can shout out questions and take part, and then yes, there's a bar. There is a bar just outside the little cinema itself, and everyone can mingle, and it'd be a really great opportunity to meet all the people that we know are in this community. It's genius, isn't it?

Jai:

Yeah, yeah, lovely. That that'd be really cool.

Ian:

What a lovely way to spend a Friday evening in December. And London will be looking at Christmas as well. Yeah, exactly. I mean that Christmas spirit.

Matt:

And I and I think we'll finish the main part of the podcast, won't we, by then? We or maybe we're sort of in the middle of it. Yeah.

Ian:

Depending on Jay's if he has or hasn't finished Lyre. Have you, Jay?

Matt:

I I have, yes. Really? Liar. Oh, he got me again. I know I'm nearly there. I'm nearly there.

Jai:

This is yes, this is uh I've just I've just got the uh the rest of it to do.

Matt:

Anyway, it is 5th of December, 7 pm, Regent Street Cinema, which is on Regent Street. Conveniently. Which is a big road in you know, big part of central London.

Ian:

It's at the top end, isn't it? Up at the uh the the very north end of Regent Street, not the Piccadilly Circus end. You have a lovely walk from Piccadilly Circus if you did happen to come that way, but it's a bit closer if you probably go to Oxford Street, I would think. Mm-hmm. You could make a whole day of it. They out in London on a Friday near Christmas.

Jai:

Oh yeah, I'm gonna say again because I I think this I think you can add this bit when I go uh when I go, oh that's so Christmas. No, I'm not gonna say it's we'll definitely add that bit.

Ian:

Yeah, we get it, we get it. We're definitely adding that. It's gold, like podcast gold that joke.

Jai:

Oh, it's so Christmassy.

Matt:

It's so Christmassy, my dears. Is is that what it is though, isn't it? Yeah, yeah.

Jai:

Yeah, but it but it's a it's a really lovely thing to do. So we we hope to see you down there.

Matt:

Oh god, it'd be absolutely amazing to see everyone. You're not wrong.

Jai:

So many cool people, you know, and we're nearly at the end, aren't we? So this this is kind of like the denouement of Recovering Queen as well, isn't it, in many respects.

Matt:

Yeah.

Jai:

And we can certainly of the first, you know, unless Queens start producing lots of albums. Oh, actually, no, I'll tell you what, there will be. There'll be a leaflet. Um look, I'm hot off the printing press uh with my arguments for why March of the Black Queen is better than Bohemia Rhapsody. Um and I shall be, you know, uh talking and trying to win a lot of people over. Yeah.

Ian:

Ian Matt and Jay would like to invite you to the Regent Street Cinema on Friday, the 5th of December, to watch the film stroke documentary Bohemian Rhapsody, and then to have a little chat with us before and afterwards, hopefully.

Matt:

And a little drink in the bar to celebrate Queen and Recovering Queen. Ooh, that's so Christmassy. On with the show, you know.
