It’s high time we caught up on some tv and film, and  boy do we have a busy podcast for you! Elaine delves into HBO true crime mini-series The Staircase (6:40), Mark discusses Netflix documentary Our Father (18:00), and Elaine eventually finds out why Mark stopped watching Russian Doll Season 2 after just two episodes (23:38). We've tried to avoid spoilers where possible but if you don't want to know anything about these shows best to come back when you've watched 'em. 
Then in film, there’s only one movie on our minds. Listen to our spoiler free review of Everything Everywhere All At Once from 34:45. And as a special treat we didn’t anticipate when we pressed record, hear our spoiler-filled thoughts from 49:39. Be warned, Mark has lots of questions for Elaine…
Enjoy!

“He’s no Richard Osman”: The Staircase, Our Father, Russian Doll (S2), Everything Everywhere All At Once

Elaine and Mark met at a movie club and got married in a brewery. Mark loves spreadsheets. Elaine can’t pronounce asterisk. We watch a lot of film and TV.

TV & Film

Mark’s been to a BBQ, but as the booze flowed and day turned into night, what did he end up singing…? 
In TV, we return to one of our favourites: Race Across The World (1:28). Back for a fourth series (if you don’t count last year’s celeb version) this time the contestants are racing from Japan to Indonesia. Are we enjoying it as much as its previous incarnations, though? Next, we have a difference of opinion around Amazon Prime’s video-game inspired hit Fallout (10:44). 
In film, we’re talking nuns, action, and dystopia - the perfect mix! Mark’s been to see Immaculate (20:22) and Civil War (26:29). And we’ve both watched Dev Patel’s Monkey Man (35:49).
Enjoy!

Happy Easter! But which reduced price chocolate eggs will Mark be able to find in the supermarket on his annual pilgrimage? 
This week, in TV we’ve been watching Marvel Animation’s new series X-Men ‘97 (3:26) and ITV comedy-thriller (or is it?!) Passengers (9:32). 
In our film section, hold on to your proton packs and get ready to be slimed - we’re reviewing Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (16:42). There’s much to discuss so if you’ve seen the film you might enjoy our spoiler section at 34:02. If you’ve not caught it yet, avoid this part of the pod and come back at 45:19 where we talk about upcoming films we’re going to catch. And if you stick around, you’ll hear an unexpected end to the pod… 
Enjoy!

The episode where Mark compares Elaine to a dog that looks like a pain au chocolat, lists all the Denis Villeneuve films he hates, and starts a podcasting war with The Movie Robcast… 
In TV, we discuss Mr & Mrs Smith (Amazon Prime) (5:42) and Shogun (Disney +) (13:31). And in film, Mark takes us through the masterpiece that is Madame Web (24:26), Elaine talks wrestling in The Iron Claw (31:55), and we have a najor difference of opinion when it comes to Dune: Part 2 (46:55). 
Enjoy!

It's going to be a little while until we can come back with a full show, so as an interim treat we thought we'd record our thoughts on some of the recently released film & TV trailers. 
Film trailers: Deadpool & Wolverine, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, and Wicked
TV trailers: Manhunt (Apple), Mary & George (Sky Atlantic), Shardlake (Disney +)
And Mark has thoughts on the (just announced) casting of Marvel's upcoming Fantastic Four...
Enjoy!

We start the pod with WWE news (obvs!). The WWE is off to Netflix - but recent allegations leave Mark reflecting on whether he can continue watching...
In TV, we discuss the finale of S2 The Traitors (7:35) and share our views on the first few episodes of HBO’s True Detective: Night Country (19:30). 
In film, Mark reviews newly Oscar-nominated The Holdovers (29:36). And we’ve both been to see Andrew Haigh’s astonishing All of Us Strangers (37:00). We recommend avoiding as much as you can about both films before you see them, so our reviews are very light on plot and we try to avoid spoilers as much as possible. 
We wanted to discuss the finer points of All of Us Strangers, though, so there’s a small spoiler section at the end of the episode, starting at 48:37. Please leave us at this point if you haven’t seen the film, but save the episode and come back for our thoughts later! 
Enjoy!
