Lee also spoke with Ella Hunt who sings, dances and murders the undead as Anna and Malcolm Cumming after the UK premiere at the Edinburgh International Film Festival We discuss the making of this unique film, the challenges in shooting singing and action scenes and exciting roles for women in cinema.

Much like our friends at Nerd Nuptial, Lee and Dallas are huge fans of the David Fincher adaptation of 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'. Inspired by watching 'The Girl in the Spider's Web: A New Dragon Tattoo Story', we pick out movies which involved recasting that were incredibly successful in their eyes from sci-fi franchises to creative casting following a death.

We also review Bohemian Rhapsody, Shoplifters, Apostle and revisiting Suspiria.
