On the 20th anniversary of its release, I revisit the critically reviled bomb 'Death to Smoochy'. Is it misunderstood?

Happy birthday to the great Bob Dylan! This took forever to upload so it's going out a bit later than planned, but I still managed to get it out on the 24th. Title quote is from 'Cry a While', off '"Love and Theft"'. In this episode I give you a few quick recommendations of Dylan and Dylan-adjacent movies, plus some stuff that's been on the radio here in the UK. I forgot to mention it in the ep, b...

I speak to some friends and family about their favourite holiday films and Christmas memories. Thanks to everyone who participated!

I wrestle with 'Mank'--and you know what they say: when you wrestle with 'Mank', you both get dirty, but 'Mank' likes it! 'Mank' lovers, proceed with caution. Contains major spoilers for 'Mank', minor spoilers for 'Citizen Kane', and a gratuitous tangent about 'The Simpsons'. I also rank on-screen portrayals of Orson Welles in a special one-off segment, Who Wore it Wellesest? Follow me on twitter...

In (possibly?) my most disorganised episode so far, I look back on Boxdtober, look forward to a new challenge in November, and talk about the Starz show Counterpart (and a little bit about the Hulu show Four Weddings and a Funeral, but not a lot).

Did you know that 'Clueless' and 'Bring It On' both had their UK premieres on the 20th of October, five years apart? It's true! And to celebrate, I have a great conversation with Ericka-Jade Mulherin, who was kind enough to guest on this episode. Also, apparently Nicole Bilderback was in both films? I didn't realise that until we'd already recorded and I was in the middle of writing this descripti...

Instead of my planned 'Kicking and Screaming' ep, I talk about the Cineworld closures and some of my #Boxdtober picks. I change topics at about ten minutes in, if you want to avoid the depressing part.

I watch Midnight Run , one of my favourite movies of all time, as a birthday treat, and then I talk about it for half an hour. Also there's some handling noise because I recorded this sitting on my bed and using the mic stand as a handle. Sorry, audiophiles. I'll try harder next time.
