It's big, it's weird, it's sci-fi and Zoe and Tom fell utterly under its spell. They discuss its political and religious overtones as well as its place in contemporary cinema.

An unlikely pairing? Or an obvious one. Zoe and Tom consider the big ole Macbeth at Doc X with Monsieur Fiennes in the title role, alongside Succession, a contemporary take on a Shakespearean theme - which Zoe finally got round to watching. And.. well, hated.

Tom and Zoe discuss two very different propositions about women. Or is that "women"? One is a cartoonish pastiche starring a Mattel doll; the other a Frankenstein's monster. Guess which Zoe and Tom preferred?

Tom is literally a historian of Napoleon, and Zoe knew shockingly little about the short and angry man. Both squirmed their way through for different reasons: listen to why on this jaunty exploration of Tom's passion area - and the plague of filmic disappointment.

Tom and Zoe got last-minute tickets; Tom was ecstatic, Zoe was skeptical. But the show blew both of their minds. Even so, this is Hyped! Join Zoe and Tom as they debate some of the messaging – but also the mixed messaging – of Queen Bey.

Zoe wants to hate Wagner. Tom has always loved him. They discuss a recent performance at the ENO, in which Zoe, against her will and expectation, finds herself charmed and amused. But is it ok to like Wagner operas? Does it make you a sort of bad person? Or, as Tom reckons, is Wagner the pinnacle of modern culture - deserving of being adored by all, always and forever? Join them as they make their way through an analysis of this splendid, budget performance.

Lydia Tár is a world-famous conductor who gets embroiled in a number of messes both internal and external; professional and private. She's weird. She's amoral. She's refined and unrelenting and unstinting. And boy is she good at conducting classical music. Todd Field's much-buzzed film goes off the deep end more than once, stylistically and every other way. Join Zoe and Tom as they work out whether this is a work of pure genius, or a totally pretentious disaster. Or a bit of both.

"This is the best TV I have ever seen!" – Zoe on the Taormina-based second season of the smash hit written by  Mike White for HBO. Join her and Tom as they pick apart something for which the hype is truly deserved, peeling back the layers of subterfuge, sexual economies, powerplay, irony, mystery, danger and, of course, Sicilianness. There are a few spoilers, so ideally if you're gonna watch, watch first. 

It promised to be one of the weirdest and most politically contentious tournaments in football history. Human rights abuses, Fifa corruption, the last-minute banning of booze and kosher food... issues like these dominated coverage until the knockouts got into full swing. By the end this was being called a blinder by pundits, with, apparently, the best World Cup final of all time between Argentina and France. But what happened to the politics? Were they always destined to fall away in the face of the football? Was there ever really a place for sustained criticism of Qatar – and Fifa –  in the melee? And finally, was this boozeless tournament really better for women? Join Zoe and Tom as they pick their way across the pitch. 

Zoe and Tom return to the royal theme, only this time it's the latest instalment of the Sussex psychodrama. They discuss the couple's manipulation of and addiction to media - the very entity they hate so much – and ask, who was filming them, and why? They contemplate their "love", a huge, agapic, almost Christian entity with the power to save the world. Or... to bore it to death. And is California still the promised land? It is if you can get yourself a big garden and a mansion by the sea, perhaps.
