A busy week for new film releases but we're still on top of the telly and some films! In what we've been watching Steven shares his disappointment in the new Indiana Jones flick - Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, but it's still Indy so we're gonna say it's worth a watch anyway. Alex talks about new BBC drama Champion which he is really enjoying and Kelly tells us about The Stranger, a film new to Netflix and really rather good.

Alex fills us in on what's going on with the actors strike in LA and it's pretty clear there needs to be some change in the industry considering some of the basic support they are looking for.

On the 'deep dive' Alex tells us about new drama 'Fifteen Love' and interviews its stars Aidan Turner and Ella Lily Hyland.

Steven shares web series classic 'Con Man' in 'back to the future' just in time for Comic-Con International in San Diego.

On this week's Screen Babble we have lots of great TV chat. We kick off with one of Alex's and Steven's current watches - Whose Line is it Anyway? Then Alex keeps us up to date with his never-ending pursuit of Halt and Catch Fire. We talk about the impending Emmy nominations and what fun it will be to see how right or wrong we are about them.

On the 'deep dive' this week Alex tells us about the new Channel 5 drama Heat, staring Danny Dyer. Danny is pretty good in it apparently.

Finally Steven brings us up to speed with World on Fire - a BBC drama from a few years back. Happily there's a second series starting this weekend so get catching up!

The dream team is reunited once again - Kelly is back from Glastonbury and worn out from watching sets she missed in real life - on the iPlayer. In other recent watches Steven give a resounding recommendation for Living as does Alex for The Other Two and the second series of Halt and Catch Fire.

This week the deep dive is into new Sky drama Then You Run and excitingly, Alex spoke to writer Ben Chanan, we include some of their interview on this week's podcast.

Steven takes us back to 2017 to review Taboo starring Tom Hardy and available on many, many platforms and very worth your time.

It's all positive this week...well not all, but nearly!
