2022 picks up where the previous year left off with copious amounts of streaming content dumped on streaming services ready for us to immediately consume and instantly forget. Like the rest of the UK, Dan greedily binges on Netflix's Stay Close but finds some ingredients hard to digest. Thoroughly unsatisfied, he decides to lighten the mood using the magic of comedy with Jimmy Carr: His Dark Material. James has a Film centric watchlist that consists of Being the Ricardos, an experience that leaves him feeling a bit cold. Trust Stephen Graham to heat things up again as his one-take film Boiling Point results in us both reaching for a tea towel to mop our anxiety-induced sweaty foreheads.

In Reel News, we struggle to bring you cohesive and timely information so instead, we discuss a variety of topics including Ridley Scott's inability to retire, Yellowstone's discreet existence, and the ever-dwindling attention span of today's youth.

Will this biographical tale finally deliver him Oscar glory? Or will his meteoric star power begin to wain? Yes, it's spelled wrong, it's a reference to... Never mind.
