A solar-system-level disaster wipes out four planetary systems, humanity clings to life in space colonies, and Zion stands as the last planet that can still sustain people. Then come the “Victims” and the only real answer is a handful of towering mechanized weapons called Ingrids, built with eerie female humanoid forms and powered through nerve-link technology that can wreck the human body.We walk through Candidate for Goddess (also known as Pilot Candidate) with a clear focus on how its world works: the Goddess Operation Academy, the strict pilot requirements (age, health, EL blood type), and EX, the superhuman capability that makes a pilot compatible with an Ingrid's interface. We also dig into the series' most charged dynamic: each young male pilot paired with a female repairer who maintains the machine and manually blocks painful feedback during missions, turning teamwork into something that can feel like dependency and control at the same time.Then we get personal about the rewatch factor. Some of the character design and dialogue screams “product of its time,” and the CGI mechs, especially the doll-like faces, can be a mixed bag in 2026. But there's still a compelling spine here, from Zero's mysterious “call” to the hangar to the moment he links with a goddess during an attack when it should have meant death.

Phantasmagoria: Field Image by Bassam Issah Al-Sabah

In this episode, we speak with artist Bassam Issah Al-Sabah about his new audio work Field Image, where landscapes shaped by extraction, memory and technological infrastructure are contextualised through the shifting terrain of the Irish bog. Beginning with the work's disembodied narrator, we explore what it means to become part of a landscape where human presence lingers only through traces. The conversation then moves towards the bog as an ancient archive, existing alongside a contemporary landscape increasingly reshaped by data centres and digital infrastructure.Together we discuss how folk knowledge, ecological systems and colonial histories intersect with computational technologies. We consider whether plants, folklore and older systems of organising land might operate as forms of resistance that repel the infrastructures imposed upon them. Thinking about the material realities of the digital through heat, soil, extraction and energy, the conversation challenges immaterial information and asks what ancient technologies and embodied ways of knowing might reveal in an age obsessed with data and legibility. This mini-series is commissioned by the Henry Moore Institute as a part of their program for their exhibition Phantasmagoria: Folkloric Sculpture for the Digital Age, open 15th May - 30th August 2026.Bios;Bassam Issa Al-Sabah works CGI animation, sculpture, textiles, painting, and installation, constructing speculative worlds where fantasy, mythology, and digital culture become methods for reimagining identity, memory, and collective futures. Drawing on the visual languages of anime, video games, and online image cultures, his practice explores transformation as a queer methodology, proposing mutable bodies, mythic narratives, and hybrid ecologies as alternatives to fixed understandings of gender, history, and belonging. Recent work has increasingly engaged feminist and posthuman perspectives, using fiction as a critical framework through which care, desire, revenge, and interdependence can be imagined beyond patriarchal and colonial structures.Al-Sabah's work has been presented extensively across Europe in museums, galleries, and festivals, including the Barbican Centre, London; Jeu de Paume, Paris; FACT Liverpool; De La Warr Pavilion; and The Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin. Alongside his solo practice, he has developed an ongoing collaborative body of work with artist Jennifer Mehigan, extending his interest in speculative storytelling through large-scale installation, animation, sculpture, and publishing. Across both solo and collaborative projects, his work continues to investigate how fiction, digital technologies, and myth can produce new ways of understanding ecology, kinship, and collective experience. His work is held in the collections of the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA), the Arts Council of Ireland, and Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown County Council Using paint, inkjet, neural networks, her garden and her phone, Jennifer Mehigan's prints and paintings blend new and old methods of processing the world. She positions the relationships between contemporary image-making technologies and their predecessors as a ‘strained mother-daughter' dynamic, encompassing wider ideas of reproduction and inheritance in image ecologies. For the past seven years, her research has oriented around the Famine to present alternative vantage points of what abstraction means in an embodied context, its relationship to ideas of appetite and fertility, and how it can be considered both an applied and innate technology. The mouth and throat are interrogated as sites of image production, becoming ‘embodied printers' in which oral histories and their materialities might be made visual to renegotiate the conditions of abstraction as we understand them now. Her wider practice incorporates sculpture, filmmaking, publishing, perfumery, and parties, deploying sensory experiences to explore ideas of movement and digestion as it is outsourced to machines. She regularly works in partnership with artist Bassam Issa Al-Sabah and has previously collaborated with and been part of collectives such as Synthesize_Her, Temporary Pleasure, Fruit Shop, and The 343. Recent shows include multiple iterations of ‘Uncensored Lilac' in Aksioma, Ljubljana (2026), VSSL Studio, London (2025), and Transmediale, Berlin (2024); ‘Nightbloom Chokehold' in Douglas Hyde Gallery 2, Dublin (2022); and group shows and screenings include Kerlin Gallery, Dublin (2023), Anafi Film Festival, Greece (2025) and FACT Liverpool, UK (2026). She is currently a research fellow at the International Centre for the Image, Dublin. Previously based in Singapore and Belfast, she now lives and works in rural Limerick.Broadcast through @rtm.fmHost @influential_bro @_rebecca.edwards @niamhschmidtke Artist @this.isnowhere Music @joemoss1 @jtre_v

Welcome back to Not A Bomb, the podcast where we resurrect cinema's most infamous box office disasters and ask the burning question: is it a bomb? This week, Troy and Brad strap into the chaotic, nitro‑fueled world of the 2001 racing epic Driven. And before we go any further, yes, Troy is back from surgery and only slightly a little high on pain medication, which honestly might be the perfect state of mind for revisiting a movie this unintentionally wild.Driven arrived during the era when Hollywood believed the cure for every script problem was “more CGI, more speed, more Stallone.” The film promised high‑octane racing, intense rivalries, and behind‑the‑scenes drama in the world of CART. What audiences got instead was a dizzying mix of digital car mayhem, melodramatic speeches, and physics‑defying crashes.Troy and Brad dig into the film's over‑the‑top action sequences, the baffling script choices, and one of the worst displays of “acting” this podcast has ever seen…. cough, cough - KIP! They also explore how the film's reputation has evolved, why some viewers have embraced its unintentional charm, and whether Driven deserves a second look or remains a cautionary tale about letting Stallone write his own sports movies.Buckle up, avoid the flying manhole covers, and prepare for a ride that makes absolutely no sense. This is one cinematic spinout worth revisiting.Want to help support the show? Head over to the Not A Bomb Tee Public store and check our merchandise.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day riesce nella cosa più difficile: trovare una vera ragione per esistere dopo il finale quasi perfetto di No Way Home. In questa recensione di Spin-Off, inizialmente senza spoiler, analizziamo il quarto film con Tom Holland e il cambio di direzione portato da Destin Daniel Cretton. Peter Parker è completamente solo. Il mondo ha dimenticato la sua identità, Ned e MJ non ricordano più chi sia e Peter ha messo in pausa la propria vita per diventare Spider-Man a tempo pieno. Nascondersi dietro la maschera è diventato il suo modo per non affrontare il dolore e tutto ciò che ha perso. Parliamo della nuova evoluzione dei suoi poteri, della regia più fisica e dinamica, delle spettacolari sequenze d'azione, della CGI e di un ritmo che regge per quasi due ore e mezza. Ampio spazio anche al rapporto irrisolto tra Peter e MJ, alla sorprendente coppia formata da Spider-Man e il Punitore di Jon Bernthal e al misterioso personaggio interpretato da Sadie Sink. Non tutto, però, funziona allo stesso modo. Hulk sembra molto più importante nel marketing che nella storia e il finale corre troppo, lasciando irrisolte diverse trame proprio quando il film dovrebbe tirare le somme. Nella seconda parte, chiaramente segnalata, entriamo negli spoiler per discutere il ruolo di Sadie Sink, il vero antagonista, la gestione di Bruce Banner e il significato della scena post-credit. Spider-Man: Brand New Day non supera No Way Home, ma è un nuovo inizio riuscito, più maturo e personale, che rimette finalmente Peter Parker al centro della storia. Attenzione: la parte finale della puntata contiene spoiler completi sul film. (00:00) Commento e recensione spoiler free (11:23) Commento e recension CON spoiler Learn more about your ad choices.

The countdown reaches the film that earned Marvel its first Best Picture nomination. Adam makes the case that Black Panther is elevated above nearly every other MCU entry by a villain the audience is meant to agree with, Killmonger, whose indictment of Wakanda's isolationism is correct even when his methods are monstrous. Why the hero loses the argument and adopts it, how the film works as a Shakespearean succession tragedy, why its self-contained story is a strength, and the one CGI-heavy misstep that keeps the climax from matching everything around it

Stone Cold (1991) Director: Craig R. Baxley Starring: Brian Bosworth, Lance Henriksen, William Forsythe, Richard GantSomewhere in 1991, a man in a skunk-tail alligator duster looked at a grocery store full of Ritz crackers and decided they had to die. That man was Brian "The Boz" Bosworth, and the movie is Stone Cold — the single greatest hour and 32 minutes of biker-gang, courthouse-siege, dummy-flying-through-glass action cinema you've never watched. We break down why this ex-NFL bust of a leading man somehow delivers, why Lance Henriksen makes everything better just by showing up, and why this might be the most purely entertaining B-action movie we've covered on the show.In this episode, we discuss:The Boz, Cinema's Greatest Accidental Action Hero – Brian Bosworth's mulleted, skunk-tail-jacketed debut shouldn't work, but somehow it does. We argue he's criminally underrated and nowhere near as bad as his post-NFL reputation suggests.The Worst Undercover Cops in Movie History – Bosworth and his partner blow their cover approximately every ten minutes, in broad daylight, with the subtlety of a marching band. We break down every hilariously botched sting operation.An Ending So Chaotic It Should Be Studied in Film School – A helicopter descending on a courthouse, Lance Henriksen dressed as a priest mowing down everyone in sight, and dummies flying through windows like it's an Olympic event. We dissect the most unhinged third act we've seen in ages.Explosions, Explosions, and More Explosions – This movie opens with an explosion and closes with an explosion, and in between it's just vibes and pyrotechnics. We talk about why practical stunt work and real dummies still hit different than any CGI ever could.We Also Talked About:Don't Panic (1987) (Amazon) – A Spanish-language Ouija board horror flick with a main character who won't stop wearing dinosaur pajamas.Night School (1981) (DailyMotion) – An early-'80s slasher featuring a kukri-wielding killer known as "The Lopper."Death Chase (1988) (Tubi) – Another David A. Prior joint about a regular guy turned reluctant assassin target.Kickboxer 2: The Road Back (1991) (Tubi) – Sasha Mitchell steps into JCVD's shoes for a sequel packed with absurdly brutal fight choreography.Ridiculous (Netflix) – Louis C.K.'s new Netflix stand-up special, and a conversation about where he stands today.Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: An Almost History of America (Amazon) – Larry David's new HBO series reimagining American history, one uncomfortable sketch at a time.Some of the above links are affiliate links — if you purchase through them we get a small kickback, and it's the best way to support the show.New episodes of the Dewey Pod Monster podcast drop every week.

Send us Fan MailA tiny mistake can rewrite the whole entertainment timeline, and we're obsessed with the receipts. We kick things off with trivia built around the best “happy accidents” in games, movies, and TV, where a glitch, a workaround, or a limitation doesn't ruin the project, it defines it. Think Grand Theft Auto evolving out of chaotic police behavior, Street Fighter II turning an exploit into the official combo system, Minecraft accidentally birthing the Creeper, and Silent Hill using fog as a performance fix that becomes pure atmosphere.Then we jump to film and television chaos: production disasters, technical breakthroughs, and the weird moments that end up shaping what audiences remember. We talk about big turning points like Jurassic Park's CGI leap, Toy Story 2's near-catastrophe, plus the way network rules and budget constraints can force creators into smarter visual choices that become iconic.After the trivia sprint, we shift into the business side of pop culture. We debate why big theatrical releases still matter when they deliver real spectacle, how IMAX loyalty turns into engineering challenges, and why a new Spaceballs feels perfectly timed as a satire of endless franchise loops. From there we dig into MCU fatigue, Doomsday and Secret Wars-style consolidation, and why TV's steady output often beats movie-sized storytelling for long-running universes.We wrap by zooming in on where games are headed, from GTA 6 tech and AI ambition to the backlash against live service monetization, digital-only ownership, and battle passes in single-player titles.

Tem gente saindo do cinema enjoada. De verdade. E não é reclamação sobre o roteiro, é o corpo reagindo à escala monumental do IMAX de 70mm que Christopher Nolan usou para filmar A Odisseia do início ao fim, algo inédito na história do cinema de ficção. Nolan foi ao mar aberto, filmou em condições reais e conseguiu deixar até a própria equipe passando mal entre uma tomada e outra.Matt Damon interpreta um Odisseu que os debatedores comparam a um "Oppenheimer de armadura", um homem assombrado pela culpa de ter criado uma arma que mudou a guerra para sempre. Mas o que mais gerou barulho nas redes antes da estreia foram as escolhas de elenco: Lupita Nyong'o como Helena de Tróia, Elliot Page como Sinon e Travis Scott como um bardo grego. Cada uma dessas decisões carrega uma justificativa que vale a pena ouvir com atenção.Rafael Arinelli, Wesley Ferreira e Rafael Gonzaga discutem os efeitos práticos de A Odisseia, os paralelos com toda a filmografia de Nolan, e uma crítica que não pode ficar de fora: as mulheres do poema original ficaram mesmo à altura na tela?Prepare o estômago e vá com tudo.• 05m56: Pauta Principal• 1h20m25: Plano Detalhe• 1h31m15: EncerramentoOuça nosso Podcast também no:• Spotify: https://cinemacao.short.gy/spotify• Apple Podcast: https://cinemacao.short.gy/apple• Android: https://cinemacao.short.gy/android• Deezer: https://cinemacao.short.gy/deezer• Amazon Music: https://cinemacao.short.gy/amazonAgradecimentos aos padrinhos: • André Marinho Moreira• Bruna Mercer• Charles Calisto Souza• Daniel Barbosa da Silva Feijó• Diego Alves Lima• Eloi Xavier• Guilherme S.

'La Odisea' (2026) con Javier Negrete: las licencias y polémicas de Nolan

Los cambios del oscarizado director en la epopeya griega indignan a los puristas. Hablamos de este nuevo clásico con el escritor Javier Negrete. En esta nueva entrega del pódcast Par Impar emitida en esRadio, los presentadores Juanma González y Dani Palacios, junto al escritor y especialista Javier Negrete, analizan una muy peculiar adaptación cinematográfica de La Odisea que supuestamente ha dirigido el cineasta Christopher Nolan. Los contertulios destripan esta hipotética superproducción con un tono cargado de humor y crítica, comparando la visión de Nolan con el mito clásico de Homero. La conversación se centra inicialmente en las decisiones técnicas y narrativas de la película, destacando el uso obsesivo del formato IMAX por parte de Nolan. Este sistema, aunque visualmente imponente, dificulta enormemente la filmación de las coreografías de combate en espacios cerrados. Los presentadores comparan este estilo con el de la película Troya, dirigida por Wolfgang Petersen, donde los enfrentamientos entre Brad Pitt y Eric Bana alcanzaron una cota de realismo y espectacularidad difícil de superar. Uno de los temas clave del debate es la representación de la ley de Zeus o la hospitalidad griega (xenia), un elemento sagrado en los poemas homéricos. El invitado Javier Negrete, autor de la novela Odisea editada por HarperCollins, explica cómo en la película de Nolan este concepto se simplifica para convertirlo en una suerte de justificación moral para la matanza final de los pretendientes, adaptándolo al estilo oscuro y denso del director. En cuanto al reparto, destaca la elección de Matt Damon para encarnar a un Ulises que se aleja del héroe astuto clásico para mostrarse como un soldado traumatizado y consumido por la culpa tras la caída de Troya, un enfoque muy en la línea de producciones como Oppenheimer. La actriz Anne Hathaway asume el papel de Penélope, logrando dotar de gran carga dramática a sus escenas frente a un joven Telémaco interpretado por Tom Holland. La película no escatima en licencias creativas y polémicas, como la inclusión del personaje de Sinón, interpretado por Elliot Page, que pertenece en realidad al ciclo troyano de la Eneida de Virgilio. Por su parte, la actriz Zendaya da vida a una Atenea que en esta versión no es una deidad física, sino una representación psicológica de la mala conciencia del protagonista, un recurso muy habitual en la filmografía de Nolan. La mitología fantástica se reinterpreta bajo un prisma de terror y ciencia ficción. El Cíclope es retratado como un gigante mutante con una deformidad ocular vertical, un diseño que combina efectos prácticos con CGI y que recuerda al Grendel de la película Beowulf de Robert Zemeckis. Del mismo modo, la escena de Circe —interpretada por Samantha Morton— se transforma en un pasaje de body horror donde los hombres se convierten en cerdos mediante impactantes efectos físicos. Finalmente, el análisis de la secuencia de las Sirenas y el regreso a Ítaca desvela la maestría de Nolan en el uso del recurso sonoro, ensordeciendo el ambiente para resaltar la música mientras los marineros usan cera en los oídos. Para cerrar la emisión, los presentadores repasan otras adaptaciones populares de la obra, como la comedia O Brother, Where Art Thou? de los hermanos Coen o la mítica versión teatral de El Joglars en los años setenta, concluyendo que esta original propuesta consigue acercar la literatura clásica al gran público.

In this episode I spoke with author Thomas "Tom" Schatz about his latest book "Power Surge: Conglomerate Hollywood and The Studio System's Last Hurrah". Between 1989 and 2004, all the old studios either merged with other media giants or were swallowed up by even bigger diversified behemoths, leading to an infusion of money and fast-tracking the digital revolution. Yet even as CGI and piles of cash fueled a new breed of blockbusters―Batman and Titanic, Toy Story and The Lord of the Rings―an indie ethos permeated the industry. And at the crossroads of commodification and aesthetic vision, auteurs ranging from Steven Soderbergh and Quentin Tarantino to Sofia Coppola and Ang Lee became household names.

We dive deep into the movie's infamous moments, including the invisible car, Madonna's wildly divisive theme song, Toby Stephens' incredibly posh performance as Gustav Graves, and the shockingly bad CGI kite-surfing sequence. Along the way, we debate the best and worst James Bond films, the lost art of elaborate henchmen, and why the film's campy tone might actually be its greatest strength.Away from the movie, Rory talks about taking his new comedy show to the Edinburgh Fringe, his fascination with the bizarre psyches of UK TV legends like Noel Edmonds and Richard Madeley, and we wrap up with a tense, action-movie edition of our Rotten Tomatoes game, Movie 501.⭐ Support the show on Patreon for:Episodes 24 hours earlyAd FreeBonus ContentExclusive Polls and Updatespatreon.com/everyonesacriticpod

Is Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey a true cinematic masterpiece—or an impressive visual epic that falls just short of Nolan's best work? On this episode of The Next Reel, Tyler Johns and Lance Taylor break down one of the most anticipated movies of 2026: Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey After seeing the film twice during its premiere weekend, Tyler shares his complete review of Nolan's ambitious adaptation of Homer's legendary Greek epic. The discussion covers the movie's enormous scale, stunning IMAX cinematography, emotional themes, major performances and the importance of choosing the right theatrical format. Tyler explains why watching The Odyssey outside of a full 70mm presentation can affect the film's aspect ratio, visual impact and overall sense of immersion. They also discuss Matt Damon's performance as Odysseus, including how he handles the character's guilt, shame, exhaustion and helplessness throughout the journey. Tyler also highlights Jon Bernthal's performance as Menelaus, praising Bernthal for stepping outside the aggressive, hot-headed roles audiences often associate with him. While many early viewers have called The Odyssey a masterpiece, Tyler offers a more measured reaction. He considers the film a powerful visual spectacle and gives it 4 out of 5 stars, but does not rank it among Christopher Nolan's very best movies. The review also examines several creative decisions made in adapting Homer's original story, including notable pieces of dialogue and mythology that were changed, shortened or removed. Did Nolan's version capture everything that makes the original epic so memorable? Should audiences prioritize seeing it in IMAX, or could waiting for the digital and streaming release provide a more complete visual experience? Before getting into The Odyssey, Lance recaps a scorching weekend trip to New Orleans that unexpectedly became a New Orleans-themed movie marathon. That includes Nicolas Cage's bizarre and completely over-the-top performance in Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, along with a viewing of the 1975 Paul Newman thriller The Drowning Pool. Then, Tyler and Lance take a trip through movie history as they reveal their personal *op five nostalgic summer movies. These are not simply the biggest blockbusters or the most critically acclaimed summer releases. They are the movies connected to unforgettable theater experiences, childhood friendships, family memories, music, vacations and specific moments from their younger years. Which films made their lists? Which summer classics still hold up decades later? Which movie memories are about more than just the movie itself?

Send us Fan MailA murder mystery where the sharpest minds belong to a flock of sheep sounds like a joke, until “Sheep Detectives” somehow turns it into a genuinely cozy, surprisingly satisfying whodunit. We walk through what makes the premise work: a shepherd named George (Logan) dies, and the animals he cared for try to piece together the truth using the logic of the murder novels he used to read aloud each night. It's wholesome, a little strange, and way more nostalgic than we expected for a brand-new Amazon movie.We dig into the details that pulled us in, from the “orf” subplot (yes, it's a real sheep disease) to the film's comfort-movie pacing that feels like the era of classic CGI farm animal stories. Then we get into the performances and why the voice cast is shockingly stacked, plus how accents and character reads can either distract you or completely sell the emotion. If you love mystery movies that play fair with clues, you'll want to hear who we suspected first and why the reveal feels earned instead of random.And we have to talk about the “Winter Lamb.” That storyline hit us hard, then we went looking for real-world sheep facts and realized the movie might be pushing our empathy buttons on purpose. It leads to a bigger conversation about why animal stories feel so comforting, how routines and companionship shape the bond between humans and pets, and why this film sticks with you after the mystery is solved.If you enjoy cozy mysteries, family-friendly movies, clever voice acting, or just want a fun Prime Video recommendation, hit play, subscribe, and share the episode with a friend.

In the Mouth of Madness (1994) Directed by John Carpenter Starring: Sam Neill, Jürgen Prochnow, Julie Carmen, David WarnerThere's a scene in In the Mouth of Madness with a "little fucking flappy arm thing" pretending to be an unspeakable cosmic horror, and honestly, that's the whole movie in a nutshell. This week we dig into John Carpenter's 1994 slow-burn descent into madness starring Sam Neill as an insurance investigator who gets way, way too invested in finding a missing horror novelist. Spoiler: reality is a construct and also everyone in New Hampshire is exceptionally fucking stupid.In this episode, we discuss:Sam Neill Carries This Whole Damn Movie — He's arrogant, he's a prick, and he still manages to sell a believable descent into madness. We break down why his performance is doing more heavy lifting than anyone else in the cast.The Flappy Arm Problem — When your Lovecraftian monster looks like a dollar-store bath toy, you've got issues. We get into why the movie's practical effects and CGI just don't hold up, especially next to what Jurassic Park and Terminator 2 were doing years earlier on bigger budgets.Two-Thirds Boring, One-Third Bonkers — We go back and forth on pacing: one of us thinks it's a slow burn that pays off, the other thinks it's a whole lot of driving around New England before anything actually happens.What's the Worst They Can Do?

The Last Starfighter is wish fulfillment the movie. A teenager hoping for bigger things gets called to action because of his sick arcade skills. That call is to become a starfighter in the coming war with the treacherous Xur. It's a charming, silly little film that definitely sought to capitalize on moviegoer's continued love of the Star Wars franchise. In spite of horrid effects and a cornball script, it mostly works. And it has become an 80s cult classic. That nostalgic love, though, was not enough to earn it a sequel — an idea that has been floating somewhere in the vacuous space of development hell for a couple decades.

Rogue One was the first anthology movie announced post the Disney takeover of Lucasfilm in 2012; the year after Star Wars Episode VII The Force Awakens had enticed and delighted audiences across the world. The rogue one, you might say...Rogue One, born of the simple question "how did the Death Star plans end up with Princess Leia?" is probably most famous for its CGI recreations of Grand Moff Tarkin and Princess Leia, and its enduring of lengthy re-shoots to change the narrative of the third act and insert additional scenes.Grand Moff Tarkin.... well that's another issue entirely. At least Carrie Fisher was alive to approve her younger likeness....As a spin-off of the existing Skywalker Saga, Rogue One remains separate to the existing story enough to be talked about independently, but connected enough to matter in the timeline between Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Episode IV: A New Hope.It shows the true sacrifice of rebellion; the nameless soldiers who gave their lives for a greater cause are given names. It's a powerful reminder on the cost of war, because we never hear the names of these characters again.Like all rebellions, it's built on hope.Right now, we could all do with a little more of thatThis episode was first published on: 11th June 2020Mentioned in this episode:From the ArchiveThere's no new episode this week, so I thought you might be interested in revisiting this slightly older, but no less brilliant episode.
