This week on Critical Poll, we proceed to abandon politics for a bit and just talk nerdery. Favourite and most hated Christmas movies abound! Also, you all get to listen to why Dave is only allowed one drink in the course of our normal episodes.

We talk firstly about the upcoming Vaccine regime in the UK, and how much the State should render the taking of it compulsory in the face of the anti-vax movement. Secondly about romance in video games, and the difficulties that result in so many appalling depictions, and lastly about how much of a future cinema has when faced with Covid and streaming services.

In this episode, we discuss the politics of percieved corruption around PPE in the UK, review the Netflix show the Alienist, and all give predictions of various degrees of confidence and fatigue about how we think Brexit is going to pan out over different time frames.
