It feels like literally months since the last Marvel film came out, so Sam was absolutely champing at the bit to see the latest offering, Captain Marvel - a title which, if it wasn't referencing a property created in the 60s, would suggest the franchise had expended every single other possible superhero moniker. Danny meanwhile reviews Being Frank: The Chris Sievey Story, an uplifting documentary about the maverick comedian and musician Frank Sidebottom. We also discuss who we would cast in a People's Vote movie, satirist grandee Jon Stewart's upcoming film project, and Marvel's efforts to add to their progressive credentials by announcing their first Asian lead, albeit for a film about a superhero who does kung-fu.

To make Being Frank: The Chris Sievey Story, director Steve Sullivan conducted a decades-spanning quest to uncover and understand the man behind Frank Sidebottom, the cult comic figure with the papier-maché head. On Sight & Sound's website, he tells Leigh Singer all about it, and shares some of the material he uncovered: https://www.bfi.org.uk/news-opinion/sight-sound-magazine/features/being-frank-chris-sievey-story-frank-sidebottom-steve-sullivan-making-of-archive
