It's a Martin Scorsese special episode of the Film Stories podcast, kicking off with the tale behind 1980's immense Raging Bull. This is the film the Scorsese for a long time didn't want to make, but Robert De Niro did. It was also the film that involved some trading off with Rocky II to get the money to make in the first place. And it'd involve De Niro going to extreme lengths to get his Oscar-winning performance right. Martin Scorsese is also the subject of five-part Apple TV documentary series Mr Scorsese, that's been directed by Rebecca Miller. She joins Simon to chat about how the documentary came together, the five year path to getting it made, and nuns... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Welcome back to YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING: A BRITISH SITCOM PODCAST. In this episode, your hosts Tony Black and Rob Turnbull discuss Bottom, the legendary violent cult comedy from 1991 to 1995 written by and starring Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson. Following the sad lives of Hammersmith residents Richard Richard and Edward Elizabeth Hitler, Bottom depicts two lazy, unemployed, perverted middle aged men beautifully. Richie wants to get laid. Eddie wants to drink. Both end up trapped in a hyper-real, comic-book Samuel Beckett world of nihilistic nonsense. How well has the stylised world Rik & Ade created held up over the last 30 years? Plus! Tony is joined by Paul Tanter, one of the co-authors of Talking Bottom: A Guide to the Cult Sitcom, to discuss the show, comedy and much more.
