Sean talks about seeing the National Theatre Live screening of Tom Stoppard's Leopoldstadt. 

The story unfolds across four generations of the Austrian-Jewish Merz family from 1899, 1900, 1924, and 1955.  

A fantastic play with stand-out performances from Aidan McArdle and Sebastian Armesto, there is great tension and foreboding, alongside dark humour.

Sean is joined by his best mate Ross to discuss Thunderball (1965), Sean Connery’s fourth outing as James Bond. If this was a Friends episode, it would be known as “The One with the Mink glove”. 

Sean tries and fails to discuss (again!) his disappointment in the last few Bond films, particularly No Time To Die. Ross and Sean wonder if there are Thunderball deleted scenes somewhere and discuss the uncomfortable attitudes in certain parts of the film. They also notice the effect of currency inflation on the legacy of the film- It's not as boring as it sounds.

Random Questions:

-Why does Thunderball remind Ross of a holiday to Las Vegas? 

-Why was there so much voice-dubbing in Connery’s Bond films? 

-Should you really handle Atomic Bombs like eggs? 

-Did Pierce Brosnan’s Bond films decline in quality with each film?

Sean is joined by Joe from Hallmark of Greatness to review the 2003 television film 'Killer Flood: The Day The Dam Broke'. They desperately try to understand the logic behind a film which wants us to believe C4 was let behind when the dam was first built (5 years ago). 

Joe and Sean are further confused over a characters age. Surprisingly, Matthew Ewald (who played Garth) was 20 years old when the film was made! 

The film is so engaging Sean and Joe go off on the odd aside about caravans, driving tests and ask a very important question: 

Do American cars have handbrakes?  

Thanks for listening!

Is it cheating to edit two older episodes together into one bumper episode and re-release it? Ah well, here goes... In this review of George A. Romero's classic film Dawn of the Dead, Sean discusses practical and CGI effects as some stand the test of time whilst others "age like milk". 

He also considers the underlying social commentary and the surprising emotional depth of the film. 

Thanks for listening! 

This podcast review is still available on the channel as two episodes if you'd prefer to listen to it that way.
