On today’s episode I’m joined by Dr Alison Peirse; associate professor of film at the University of Leeds, writer, playwright, filmmaker and creator of the greatest newsletter around - seriously, there’s nothing Alison can’t do.

Alison threw me a real challenge by choosing trickiest FFO I’ve ever had: knitting, the ocean, cats. I’m sorry to say that I did not find anything that matched all three, so I definitely need to do my homework.

The film we chose though is very ocean-focused and features some fabulous knitwear - join us as we dissect Robert Egger’s 2019 bro-buddy comedy, THE LIGHTHOUSE.
