Odeon of Death: Shite Hawk Down
21 November 2019
The Odeon of Death takes a look at the week’s events through the medium of cinema.
Shite Hawk Down (2001)
The pitiful tale of a helicopter pilot who can’t tell upstairs from downstairs, recognise his own hand, break off friendships with convicted paedophiles, or perspire (even after eating the ‘Diavolo’ with extra Jalapeño peppers at the Pizza Express, Woking).
The Odeon of Death can be found on Twitter at, perhaps not altogether surprisingly, @OdeonofDeath.
