We’re back after our six-week summer holiday, and seeing as it’s practically 2010 already, we’ve decided to get ahead of the game by discussing the best (and baddest) bits of the Noughties.
***Click here to listen to Bullshit Bingo Episode 20!***
So brace yourselves for our favourite TV shows – for example, this slice of documentary genius from Adam Curtis:
…our musical magic moments – for example, this slice of bastardisatio…er, I mean genius from Missy Elliot and Joy Division:
…and our political highs and lows – for example, this slice of reactionary rhetoric from George Bush (at least we think it’s George Bush…).
Last but not least, we couldn’t talk about anything – least of all the Noughties – without giving it an ILF, so with that in mind, feast your ears and eyes on this little lot (if the BSB team really are gentlemen – which is debatable – then we would appear to prefer brunettes):

Hot of the presses, here is the top ten Noughties film list of Torsten, one of our regular listeners. In no particular order (and I quote):
-The Dark Knight
-Memento
-The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (not the other two though)
-Das Leben der Anderen (for those of you who don’t speak German, The Lives of Others)
-Gran Torino
-The Wrestler
-Oldboy (probably the one that impressed me most)
-Million Dollar Baby
-Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
-Låt den rätte komma in (for those of you who don’t speak Swedish, Let the Right One In)
-Serenity
-El laberinto del fauno (for those of you etc., Pan’s Labyrinth)
-The Incredibles
-Brick
-Walk the line
Torsten also says that his biggest cinematic disappointments were the Matrix 2+3, and his favourite Noughties albums were “Tallahassee” by the Mountain Goats, “Mink Car” by They Might be Giants and parts of “The
Eminem Show”.
