We have to see Kate Bush in concert
We’ve been watching the BBC comedy series The Trip with Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon. It consists of the two actors playing themselves, driving to selected restaurants in the north of England (and in the second series, Italy), eating and drinking heartily, and having long, seemingly random conversations in which they do impressions of famous people, criticize popular culture, and compete with each other.
After their discussion on the voices in the Batman movies and the pronunciation of Alanis Morrisette, we began to wonder if they were friends of ours. Just the other week we were at a dinner in which three grown men did impressions of Sharon Cuneta in My Only Love (“Ayoko ng number one, kasi kung may number one, may number two…”) for two hours.
Anyway, while Coogan and Brydon are driving in Yorkshire they start singing, and food shoots out of our nose when we realize they are doing Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush. Who is doing a series of concerts this year! We must see her.
Kate Bush has the best summary of Emily Bronte’s novel.

From Abba to Inglourious Basterds to Bond in a span of 2 minutes. Loved the Christoph Waltz impersonation.

I only watched the film version but still enjoyed it immensely. The one-upmanship with the Michael Caine impressions was a highlight. I also relished the callback to Winterbottom’s other film 24 Hour Party People with Joy Division’s Atmosphere playing on the car stereo as they drove northbound out of London.
