Description
In fabulous news this week we can announce our new co-host - Benjamin Jackson. And although he has big boots to fill (we miss you Alex) we are delighted to have Benji on board and we know you enjoy his take on TV and film too. First up this week Steven tells us about not one, not two but three films he went to see in the cinema this week. He tells us all about Martin Scorcese's new flick 'Killers of the Flower Moon', which is 3 and a half hours long! Steven has mixed feelings about it, hear why on the podcast. He talks to us about Michael Fassbender's new 'revenge' film 'Killer' and borderline thriller 'The Royal Hotel' about two female backpackers who get stranded in a male-dominated, pretty hostile environment in the Australian outback. Benji has been catching up on 'What we do in the Shadows' which he recommends big time. This is the TV series rather than the film (although he loves both). Matt Berry gets a special mention for his wonderful mispronunciations throughout. Kelly just finished The Bear Season 1 and absolutely loved the season finale, she's started season 2 already. She also finished Boiling Point and really enjoyed that too despite the constant state of anxiety it induces when you're watching it. On this week's 'deep dive' Steven tells us about the new reality game show '007: Road to a million' which sees Brian Cox star as a shady quiz master ushering contestants around Europe in search of answers to clues he gives them - Challenge Anneka meets Survivor meets The Traitors - or something. Finally, and we've been waiting for this moment for a long time, we talk about the legend that is The Sopranos. Now, we fully acknowledge we could make a whole podcast series of this groundbreaking TV series but we do our best to offer our appreciation up in our limited time. Benji tells us why he thinks it made such an impact and remains, to this day, one of the most influential TV programmes of all time. Thanks for listening! Hosted on Acast.
