Pirate Radio | Philip Seymour Hoffman's Life-or-Death Game of Chicken

When DJ "Simple" Simon Swafford (Chris O'Dowd) and DJ Gavin Kavanagh (Rhys Ifans) fight over a woman, The Count (Philip Seymour Hoffman) challenges Gavin to a mast-climbing game of chicken to defend Simon's honor. Will these rivals make it out of this dangerous game alive?
From the creator of Love Actually and Notting Hill comes a trip back to the freewheeling, free-loving ’60s when the very rock music that inspired a generation was censored by the government. When a group of rebellious deejays decides to defy the ban, they take to the seas to broadcast music and mayhem to millions of adoring fans. Featuring a soundtrack that includes The Who, The Kinks, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones and many more, it’s a feel-great film based on a true story that critics cheer is “exuberant!” (John Powers, Vogue)

We all need a man like The Count in our lives who will be our Champion until honor is restored.

God I love this scene. “My dear listeners, you may have noticed a certain cooling between His Royal Highness the Count of Cool and a guy called Gavin!” “Braaack! Braaack!” *whip crack* “Crybaby!”

[@danielanderson2030]

I merely thought about this movie 30 minutes ago. I've never seen anything about it on KZbin since it came out. Yet here it is at the top of my suggested feed as soon as I opened the app.

[@gskate117]

This movie is a gem.

Some of Ennio Morricone's finest work playing in the background.

I don't get involved in "star" lives....do not care about the machinations / minutae of the entitled / over coddled.....That said? I was Furious, hurt , devastated and bereft when Phillip Seymour Hoffman died .........so much freaking talent .....truly the Olivier of my time....it hurt ....it hurts every time I see a film with the "fill in" that should have been him......sorry for our ( film/ stage lovers) loss, sorrier for his kids.... just sad and sorry .....for such a loss

Never Challenge an Englishmen to Chicken. They have no emotions, so it's unlikely you can scare them

[@gmar7836]

I doubt that

I thought jumping into the sea was taking this way too far

[@Ozzman6662]

Wait there's a bit missing. When they reach the top, gavin questions what now? It's the top. To which the count replies, yeh but it's not the end. That's when they look to the ends and curse before moving along

I wonder how long he was off the Dan Mack so he could film this😂

[@dalelerette206]

I suppose you could take it one step further and see Nihilism as Narcissism with a dose of Pretentiousness. That could be a valid configuration. But I would definitely not place people like Gram Parsons, Jim Morrison or Kurt Cobain in this category. We all struggle with our authenticity. On February 2, 2014, Philip Seymour Hoffman, considered one of the most talented and versatile actors of his generation, dies of a drug overdose at age 46 in New York City. May his soul rest in peace. But as I read people’s criticism of Philip it became clear they do not want to actually understand him. Many critics delighted in condemning him without actually wanting to understand the reasons for his fatal addiction. People often Ipso Facto do the things they despise in their effort to find a sense of belonging to a greater vision. Some people even embrace the addiction as it the struggle were greater than their desired outcome.
