We look skyward this week as Jack nerds out on the Artemis moonshot, while Graham watches “Blue Moon”  a sad depiction of Broadway lyricist Lorenzo Hart – he wrote the classic Broadway hit “Blue Moon”. Artemis was of course was Apollo’s sister in Greek mythology – so a nice reference back to the first moonshot – the Apollo missions - which were 50+ years ago. How such a woke naming convention survived the MAGA censors is anybody’s guess…..

Completing our Oscars watching, Graham reviews One Battle After Another – a slightly unhinged tale of rebellion and nefarious establishment institutions with an outstanding performance by Leonardo di Caprio

More music chat as they lament the ageing process and the inability to remember anything, and Graham wonders at how two Scotsmen chatting can completely defeat an AI transcription bot.

And more moonshot chat (Jack just cannot let it go – lucky the mission only lasts 8 days!), and he looks forward to channelling  Maria Kondo this long weekend.

Happy Easter everyone!!!!
