Are you ready to get back into a crowded room to watch a movie on the big screen, or is it too soon? Maybe the drive-in is a better option, for now at least. While you and our hosts ponder life's big choices, let Andrew and Karl offer some guidance on small-screen offerings including the HBO comedy Run (on Foxtel), the Netflix series Unorthodox (yes, Andrew finally got around to watching it), and Paul Rudd in the movies The Catcher Was a Spy and the series Living With Yourself. With bonus digressions, naturally.

Mel Gibson and Sean Penn's beards in a match made in hell; revisiting The Witch to discover the house style of Robert 'The Lighthouse' Eggers; a sexy Princess Anne steals the show in The Crown season 3; and chicken love, dog love, and the dubious morality of eating, or not eating, bats.

Andrew tells Karl what he missed while he was busy live-blogging the Oscars, and Karl tries to remember who won what, and why.
