Pamela Anderson starring films. Sarah Watt, Jeremy Downing and William Chen discuss The Last Showgirl (2024) and Barb Wire (1996). We begin by discussing Barb Wire and showering it with praise (excuse the pun). We celebrate the 90s-ness of the film. We talk about all the homages and connections we noticed in Barb Wire, including Casablanca (1942), Batman Forever (1995), Alien 3 (1992), Mad Max (1979), Romeo + Juliet (1996), Candyman (1992), Strange Days (1995), and Total Recall (1990). We praise the cast, including Xander Berkeley, Udo Kier and Temuera Morrison. We discuss the production values of Barb Wire, including the visual effects, action, cinematography and other production values. Our conversation explores the criticism of Barb Wire and how the tastes of audiences shifted over the 90s, making connections to Waterworld (1995), Cutthroat Island (1995), Hook (1991) and Charlie's Angels (2000). We move our discussion to The Last Showgirl, directed by Gia Coppola. We talk about the strength of the performances from Pamela Anderson, Brenda Song, Dave Bautista, Billie Lourd and Jamie Lee Curtis. We unpack the script, the tone, the direction and the ultimate aim of the film, with differing reactions from Sarah, William and Jeremy.

Artificially Intelligent girlfriends. Sarah Watt, Jeremy Downing and William Chen discuss Companion (2025) and Her (2013). Both films have director-writers in Drew Hancock and Spike Jonze, respectively. We start by discussing the vision of the future Her presents and how much has come to pass - 'prescient' is the word we all describe the film as. We celebrate a number of elements of Her that we enjoy. The conversation then moves to a discussion of Companion and how we found the film not as complex as Her. We discuss the films in connection to Lost In Translation (2003), Barbarian (2022), Ex Machina (2014), M3GAN (2022), Hereditary (2018), Midsommar (2019), Beau Is Afraid (2023), Heretic (2024), The White Lotus (2021-) and Yellowjackets (2021-). We praise the performances of Joaquin Phoenix, Amy Adams, Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid. We end with a discussion about real-world AI today and how the films connect to matters at hand.

It has been a year of change, with a new Government bringing forward new legislation in the form of the Renters' Rights Bill with new minimum EPC ratings also on the cards for landlords going forward. The supply crisis blighting the private rented sector continues, with 21 households competing for every home advertised to let, and rents rising as a result. To unpack all this, and more, Ben and Richard are joined by Jeni Browne, Business Development Director at Mortgage Finance Brokers, Sarah Davidson, consumer champion and financial journalist, Kristjan Byfield, letting agent and founder of proptech firm The Depositary and landlord, Sarah Watt.

Do you have the opinion that if you didn't have a body everything would be so much easier? Are you in constant conflict with what your body desires? If you can be in communion with your body, so much more is available. Today's episode of Choice, Change and Action is a recording of the final call of the Body Whispering Book Club series, where Sarah Watt and Viv Adcock interview Simone Milasas about her relationship with her body. Simone says she has spent most of her life ignoring her body. She had the belief that if she didn't have a body everything would be much easier, and whilst she never judged her being she would always judge her body. She has learnt to change this, and is now much more in communion with her body, choosing with it instead of against it, creating a sense of peace and space. Imagine a world where you could create possibilities with your body. Keys to success Are You Choosing From Conflict With Your Body?
