Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture.

In this episode, Tony & Carl discuss SUCCESSION star Brian Cox's comments about the veracity of 'The Method' and discuss variations in modern acting styles.

Plus! With a recent US report that TV show cancellations are altering viewer behaviour, we get into the modern reality of whether audiences will even take a show on knowing there will be no satisfying ending.

And! They chat the departing comments of New York Times critic A. O. Scott regarding the toxicity of fandom and his assertion it connects to far right nationalism. Is there something to his parting shot?
