Tailoring Talk with Roberto Revilla

248 Is Project Hail Mary the best science fiction film in years? Jon and Alex think it just might be - and they give it a full 5 out of 5.In this episode of the Tailoring Talk Magazine Podcast, Jon and Alex sit down to review Project Hail Mary, the big-screen adaptation of Andy Weir's beloved novel, starring Ryan Gosling as reluctant hero Ryland Grace. Jon went in completely fresh with no trailers watched, while Alex had just listened to the audiobook for the second time - making this a brilliant dual-perspective review for both book fans and film-first listeners.⚠️ SPOILER WARNING: This episode is split into two clear sections. The first half is completely spoiler-free - ideal if you haven't seen the film yet. We'll give you a clear verbal warning before we move into full spoilers.

247 Another unscripted Sunday catch-up, and this time Roberto is behind the wheel of his new Mini Electric - loving every second of it - while Jon is still waiting for his Nissan to be returned after nine months in a dealership. Life is unfair. We cover a lot of ground this week, from a film you absolutely need to see to a battery technology that could change EVs forever.Today's conversation covers:•Jon's Nissan saga update - nine months since the car was towed for repairs and still no resolution; a surprise service appointment, a head mechanic who said things he definitely shouldn't have, and how filing a Financial Ombudsman case suddenly made Nissan very interested in picking up the phone•Mini Electric vs BMW M2 - Roberto drove the M2 to Sussex mid-week for speed and efficiency, but the car he keeps finding excuses to drive is the Mini; real-world range (150–170 miles), motorway behaviour, remote parking via phone, and why driving silently past school parents in idling Range Rovers is deeply satisfying•Project Hail Mary - both Roberto and Jon are evangelical about the Ryan Gosling sci-fi film; practical effects, an emotionally hopeful story, and why it might deserve a Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar nomination; Roberto's slightly dodgy viewing arrangement and why he booked Odeon tickets anyway to clear his conscience•Solid-state battery breakthrough - Finnish startup Donut Lab claims the holy grail: a battery with 400Wh/kg energy density (roughly double current lithium-ion), a potential 5–8 minute full charge, unlimited lifespan, and performance unaffected by heat or cold; if it works, this is the tipping point that makes petrol cars obsolete•Cheshire road trip in the Mini - Roberto is planning to drive the Mini Electric up to Rookery Hall and the Bentley factory visit on 18th May and film the whole thing as a road trip vlog; expect at least two charging stops and a revisit of the earlier road trip format•Books & tech - Jon has finished the Walter Isaacson Steve Jobs biography (spoiler: sad ending) and moved on to Adrian Tchaikovsky's Shards of Earth; the Lego Game Boy gets a playable upgrade via the BrickBoy Kickstarter mod; Jon is deep into Final Fantasy VII Integrade on the Nintendo Switch 2•James Bond - First Light & casting rumours - the IO Interactive Bond game (007: First Light) is roughly six weeks away and Roberto cannot wait, given IO's pedigree on the Hitman series; Louis Partridge (22) is being linked to the role of a younger, prequel-era Bond, and the lads debate whether the whole franchise is heading in a prequel direction while waiting for Denis Villeneuve to wrap Dune•Cinema vs streaming - films are leaving cinemas faster than ever, screens can't fit as many runs of longer films, and both agree Project Hail Mary deserves to be seen again on IMAX - which may well return later in the year

246 Roberto is on his final morning in Madrid - soaking in the city's effortless elegance one last time - while Jon is freshly back from an Easter break in the New Forest. In this episode of our Candid Conversations series, we picked up the phone and just… talked. No agenda, no script, no edits. Exactly as it happened.This week's unscripted conversation covers:•Madrid vs. London living - what Roberto keeps coming back to the Spanish capital for, the food culture, the street energy, and why the fashion just hits differently•Easter in the New Forest - Jon's family catch-up, a delightful 22-month-old second cousin, and the very real pain of UK bank holiday traffic•Electric vehicles deep-dive - the state of public EV charging in Britain, Jon's VW ID4 and its genuinely bizarre “unlock seven times” cable trick, Roberto's new Mini Electric, route planning for a potential Cheshire road trip, and why Top Gear's 50 Best Family EVs list is pure clickbait•Tech on the road - Roberto's real-world verdict on the M5 MacBook Air after editing video on it in Madrid (spoiler: it might be the MacBook for most people), plus speculation about the upcoming Apple Mac Studio M5•Reading & culture - Jon is deep into Walter Isaacson's Steve Jobs biography; Roberto has cracked open Ian Fleming's Casino Royale and is discovering Bond on the page is considerably more swarthy - and considerably more chain-smoking - than on screen•A style epiphany - sitting alone in an elegant Madrid hotel bar, Roberto quietly resolves to start dressing with genuine sophistication: suits, winter blazers, and leaving the “late forties dressing like mid-twenties” era firmly behind•Coming up - a potential Fleming novel vs. film review mini-series, the new Bond video game dropping 27th May, and plans to get Alex involved in a future three-way episodeWhether you're a long-time listener or discovering Tailoring Talk Magazine for the first time, this is the kind of honest, rambling, genuinely fun conversation that reminds you why podcasts exist.Chapters / Timestamps00:00 Roberto's Last Morning in Madrid & the iPhone Volume Button Fix02:36 New Forest Easter Break, Bank Holiday Traffic & UK EV Charging Infrastructure05:32 Top Gear's 50 Best Family EVs, VW ID4 Tips & Mini Electric Road Trip Plans08:08 M5 MacBook Air Real-World Review & Apple Mac Studio M5 Rumours10:49 Ian Fleming's Casino Royale Novel vs Film, James Bond's Lifestyle & a Wardrobe Epiphany13:29 Bond Video Game May 2026, Future Episodes & Listener Shoutout

245 On April 1, 1976, Apple was founded. Fifty years later, Bobby and Jon jump on the phone for a candid, unfiltered conversation about the company that shaped so much of their tech lives. This isn't a polished keynote-style retrospective. It's two Apple fans talking honestly about the products, moments and memories that stuck with them most.They get into their earliest encounters with Apple, from old Macs and the first iPods to the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone X and the original iPad. They also talk about why Apple still has such a hold on people, how certain products changed the wider tech industry, and what might come next as rumours continue around foldables, AR glasses and future Apple Watch upgrades. There's nostalgia here, but there's also scepticism. Bobby and Jon also touch on Apple in 2026, Tim Cook's legacy, privacy, product strategy and whether the company can still deliver the next truly era-defining device. If you've ever owned an iPod, queued mentally for an iPhone, or wondered whether Apple still has the magic, this one's for you.In this episode:Apple's 50th anniversary and why it still mattersThe first Apple devices that pulled us inWhy the iPod changed everythingThe iPhone models that felt genuinely revolutionaryThe original iPad and how opinions changedFoldables, AR glasses and Apple's futureApple Watch Ultra, Vision Pro and what we'd actually buy nextTim Cook, ethics and the harder questions around Apple todayListen now and tell us: what was your first Apple device, and what's your all-time favourite?Timestamps00:00 Intro and setting the scene01:10 Travel chat, hand luggage and taking tech away06:22 MacBook vs iPad and the convenience debate09:58 Apple's 50th anniversary and current Apple books12:27 Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Apple's founding story15:53 Ronald Wayne, the early Apple story and what might have been20:08 Jon's first Apple experience using an old Macintosh22:02 The first iPod and the moment Apple became irresistible26:56 First iPhones, networks and early Apple buying memories27:52 Why the iPhone 4 was such a landmark device30:11 The iPhone X and the jump to Face ID31:44 The original iPad and how different it felt35:55 What Apple might do next - foldables or AR glasses?41:37 Apple Watch Ultra, future upgrades and rumours44:08 Meta glasses, privacy and waiting for Apple's version46:53 Tim Cook, politics and the more complicated side of Apple49:18 Final thoughts at the 50-minute markApple 50th anniversary, Apple podcast, Apple history, Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, first iPod, first iPhone, iPhone 4, iPhone X, original iPad, Apple Watch Ultra, Apple foldable, Apple AR glasses, Tim Cook, Apple nostalgia, tech podcast, Apple fans Hosted on Acast.

244 In this weekend unfiltered chat, Bobby and Jon do exactly what listeners have come to enjoy most from these candid catch-ups: hit record and let the conversation go where it wants.This time, Bobby is speaking from inside his brand new MINI Cooper Electric and, despite previously saying he'd never own an EV, he's already completely won over. From the remote parking features and Apple-like build quality to the OLED display, voice controls and overall personality of the car, he shares why this MINI feels special almost immediately.Jon then talks through his recent Ford Explorer EV test drive, including the biggest surprise of all: just how much better it felt to be back in an electric car. The pair get into real-world range, battery pre-warming, charging practicality, interior design, trim choices, safety systems and how different buyers prioritise different things depending on where and how they drive.It's a relaxed but genuinely useful conversation about what makes a modern EV appealing, what still causes hesitation and why range, tech and ease of use matter so much in the real world.

243 Apple dropped a lot of hardware in a very short space of time, so in this episode I'm cutting through the launch-week noise and getting to the only question that really matters: what's actually new, what are the real benefits, and do you genuinely need to bother upgrading? We cover iPhone 17e, iPad Air with M4, MacBook Air with M5, MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max, MacBook Neo, the refreshed Studio Display and the new Studio Display XDR, all through the lens of whether you should stick with what you've got or twist and make the jump. There's a proper look at why iPhone 17e could be the smartest iPhone in the range for normal people, why iPad Air with M4 remains the sweet spot for most users, and why MacBook Air with M5 may be the easiest laptop recommendation in the whole lineup. I also get into the new MacBook Pro for serious creative and professional users, why MacBook Neo might quietly be one of Apple's most important launches because it opens the door to the Mac world without feeling cheap, and why the new Studio Display XDR is the sort of product that makes creative pros start mentally selling organs. The overall verdict is simple: this wasn't a week of reinvention, it was a week of refinement, smarter product positioning and some genuinely sensible upgrade paths for people on older gear. So if you've been wondering whether Apple's latest announcements are must-buy upgrades or just very polished reasons to keep what you've already got, this episode is for you.

242 In this first proper unscripted phone-call episode, Bobby and Jon do something a bit different.Rather than sitting down for a formal studio recording, they hit record on one of their regular catch-up calls and let the conversation go wherever it wants. The result is exactly what you'd expect from two friends who spend a lot of time talking tech, cars and life: a candid, funny, slightly chaotic deep dive into the things they're obsessing over right now.They start with Bobby's trip to the Apple Store after losing his AirPods Pro 3, which quickly turns into a broader conversation about whether the new AirPods Pro 3 are really that much better than the Pro 2, whether the updated AirPods Max 2 are worth considering, and how easily Apple still manages to tempt even the most self-aware buyer. From there, they get into the new MacBook Neo, why it's such an interesting entry point into the Mac lineup, who it's actually for, and whether either of them really needs one or just badly wants one.The conversation then widens into the current Apple lineup more broadly, including the MacBook Air, Studio Display XDR, the iPhone 17 range and the prospect of a foldable iPhone. Is Apple about to create another must-have category, or is this one of those products that sounds exciting until you actually imagine carrying it around every day?To round things off, Bobby and Jon switch gears and talk cars, EVs and the ongoing internal battle between rational decision-making and emotional attachment. Jon shares where he is with the EV search, while Bobby opens up about the reality of owning the BMW M2, the costs, the joy, the dilemma, and why saying goodbye to a car you love is rarely as straightforward as it sounds.If you enjoy relaxed long-form conversations that feel like you're eavesdropping on a real call between mates, this one's for you.

241 Welcome back to Tailoring Talk Magazine and the first episode of Season 15.In this long-overdue return, Roberto, Alex and Jon sit down for an honest conversation about electric vehicles, real ownership experiences and whether switching from petrol to electric actually makes sense in the real world.Roberto opens with a confession: after years of saying he'd never own an EV, he's now seriously considering selling his BMW M2 and making the switch. From there, the conversation explores the realities of EV ownership, including range anxiety, charging, running costs, practicality and how different lifestyles change what makes a good car.Rather than reviewing cars or reading spec sheets, this episode focuses on real-world use, real budgets, and what each of us would actually buy with our own money.In this episode• Why Roberto is reconsidering electric cars after years of resisting them• Alex's long-term experience living with EVs and what he'd change next• Jon's experience with EV ownership, hybrids and reliability challenges• Range anxiety – myth or real problem?• Charging at home vs public charging• How lifestyle and driving habits change what car makes sense• Running costs and the reality of EV ownership day-to-day• The cars we're currently considering buying• Family EVs vs performance EVs vs city cars• What we'd each choose if we had to decide tomorrowThe discussion also covers several popular electric cars currently on the market, including models from Tesla, Hyundai, BMW, Volkswagen, Kia and others as the team compares range, practicality and real-world usability.Timestamps00:00 – Intro and confession: from petrolhead to considering EVs02:25 – Why this episode: honest conversation, no reviews or spec sheets03:10 – Why Roberto's M2 isn't getting used and how this conversation started 04:50 – Alex's EV journey and living with a Polestar 08:50 – Jon's EV history, Nissan issues and going electric again 10:50 – Roberto's Hyundai IONIQ 6 experience and dealership problems13:10 – Realisation: why EVs make sense for city driving15:40 – Running costs, practicality and daily usage20:30 – Range anxiety: myth vs reality and how charging actually works 29:40 – Different lifestyles, commuting and choosing the right EV30:40 – Roberto test driving EVs and reconsidering his stance31:30 – Home charging, solar, and real-world running costs 33:15 – Alex's criteria for his next EV (road trips, range, usability)37:55 – Roberto presents EV shortlist for Alex38:00 – Tesla Model 3 discussion46:00 – Volkswagen, BMW, Hyundai and Kia comparisons 49:30 – Counter suggestions and alternative EV options50:10 – Jon's shortlist and priorities for a family EV 01:13:50 – Roberto's current thinking about replacing the M2 01:22:20 – Options, trims and spec pricing discussion01:23:45 – Final thoughts: where each of us stands on EVs 01:25:40 – Outro and wrap-upKey themesOne of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is that there's no single “best” EV.The right choice depends on how you actually use your car, whether you can charge at home, how far you regularly travel, and what matters most: comfort, range, driving experience or practicality.The episode also highlights how quickly EV technology and infrastructure have evolved in recent years, changing the ownership experience significantly compared with earlier electric cars.Listen if you are:• Thinking about buying your first electric car• Curious about real EV ownership rather than marketing claims• A petrolhead wondering whether electric cars are worth considering• Interested in cars, technology and honest conversationsAbout Tailoring Talk MagazineTailoring Talk Magazine is a podcast about style, technology, cars, culture and the things that make modern life interesting, hosted by Roberto Revilla with co-hosts Alex Hansford and Jon Evans.Follow and SubscribeIf you enjoyed this episode, follow the podcast and share it with someone who's thinking about going electric.
