Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture.

In this episode, Carl and Tony tackle the thorny issue of children and media access - kids accessing smartphones is on the rise, but is it a good or bad thing?

Plus! Older actors should be celebrated, according to a recent piece, so we think about the aged Hollywood and British legends still going, and ponder what might have been for some had they carried on.

And finally, there are some TV shows from recent decades, including Chris Carter's Millennium, that have never hit streaming services. Why? And is this likely ever to change?
