The Clappers

On this episode, the chaps grapple with the Bombay bombing movie Hotel Mumbai, ponder the grubby world of celebrity PR in Flack, and bid a sad farewell to the most rock'n'roll bar in Melbourne. Plus, Andrew has a contentious proposal: if you've got a garage, use it. Or lose it.

The accusations aired in Leaving Neverland and Surviving R Kelly are serious - but should such claims really be made on TV, or should they be saved for the courtroom? Plus, how many times do you give something a go (hello James Joyce's Ulysses; hey there John Coltrane) before you're allowed to say nah. Plus plus, the plague of pre-roll ads. Yes friends, let it never be said that Andrew Young and Karl Quinn are afraid to tackle the really BIG questions of the day.

Why the Oscars got it wrong with Green Book, how JK Rowling and co got it right with Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, and how you can get it absolutely spot-on at an all-you can eat dumpling place. Plus Otessa Moshfegh's latest work, My Year of Rest and Relaxation, considered.

In this episode of your favourite pop-culture gabfest, Andrew and Karl consider: Carol Ann Duffy's The World's Wife, which re-imagines some of history's most famous men as women; Mary Queen of Scots - both book and film - which puts the House of Cards in the House of Stuart; a couple of upcoming royal biographies with a difference; what should we expect of a writers festival - free reign for publishers or a free flow of ideas?; and the pros and cons of scoring freebies at the Cadel Evans road race in Geelong.

Andrew is blown away by David Marr's My Country, Karl journeys ddown the rabbithole of the interactive Black Mirror movie Bandersnatch, plus the sex-obsessed New Zealand poet Hera Lindsay Bird (and the obsessions she inspires) and the brilliantly bleak TV Western Godless. Will you pick Andrew or Karl? The choice is yours - but remember, so are the consequences.

Music at the end by the Sugarfoot Ramblers (Bandcamp), the song is Georgia Swing.

The Favourite is unlike the stuffy English drama one of the movie's stills make lead you to think. Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos (The Lobster adn "Greek Weird Cinema", Karl's words not mine) and starring Olivia Coleman.

Something about rabbits?

Either way Karl and Andrew both agree it's fantastic.

There's a touch on the GGs before Andrew is emploring us to get out and see more live music (a theme of The Clappers), his example of one great band - The Sugarfoot Ramblers.

Lastly for fans of In The Loop, Veep, The Thick of It, The Big Short or the like - Succession is the latest TV series you could comfortably group with these political / business comedy / dramas.

No prizes for guessing Succession's inspiration, and why it's made little noise in Australia.

Did you wing it on New Year's Eve or did you plan it? Did you wake up, like the subjects in Jon Ronson's book, to the sad realisation that You've Been Publicly Shamed? Did you turn to the person beside you and ask, like Melissa McCarthy and Richard E. Grant, Can You Ever Forgive Me? And did the realisation slowly bloom, as in Stan's terrific new series, that sometimes second chances aren't all they're cracked up to be? If you answered (a) yes, (b) no, or (c) not sure to any or all the above it's time to join Andrew Young and Karl Quinn on board the Clappers Express where our motto is non, je no regrette, rien.
