The Tailoring Talk Magazine

231. It’s time to hit the gas! 🚗💨

In this episode of Tailoring Talk Magazine, Jon, Roberto and Alex launch their brand-new Fast & Furious Rewatch with the movie that started it all: The Fast and the Furious (2001).

The guys dive under the hood of Rob Cohen’s cult classic, covering:

• First memories of seeing the film (cinema bunk-offs and dodgy kebab shops included)
• Why this really is just Point Break… with cars
• The iconic rides - Toyota Supra, Dodge Charger, Eclipse and those neon Civics
• NOS-fuelled stunts and action that still hold up today
• Fashion, music, and the noughties style crimes we can’t unsee
• Forgotten trivia like the post-credit scene and early casting choices (yes, Timothy Olyphant nearly played Dom!)
• How a modest crime drama about stealing Panasonic combo VCRs and DVD players became a $7.4 billion franchise

Expect laughter, rants, nostalgia, and the occasional existential crisis over Ja Rule’s soundtrack contributions.

👉 Whether you love the Fast Saga or love to hate it, you’ll enjoy this nitrous-charged conversation.

230. What really makes quality chocolate?

In this inspiring conversation, Roberto sits down with Milissa Davis, award-winning chocolatier and owner of TuTu Chocolates, to explore the world of artisan chocolate and entrepreneurship.

You’ll discover:

• The difference between bean-to-bar, single-origin and mass-produced chocolate
• Why real chocolate doesn’t leave you bloated or guilty like supermarket bars
• How colour, flavour and creativity shape unforgettable chocolate experiences
• Milissa’s remarkable journey from Saturday girl to Artisan Chocolate Entrepreneur of the Year 2025
• The surprising parallels between bespoke tailoring and artisan chocolate craftsmanship

Along the way, we playfully imagine what James Bond, Taylor Swift and David Attenborough would taste like as chocolates (spoiler: no blue cheese truffles).

🍫 Whether you’re a chocolate lover, a foodie, or just love hearing stories of young entrepreneurs doing things differently, this episode will leave you inspired — and probably craving something sweet.

227. James Gunn has officially rebooted Superman with Superman (2025), starring David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan and Nicholas Hoult. But has he done enough to win us over - and more importantly, does this mark a turning point for DC?

In this episode of Tailoring Talk, Roberto, Jon and Alex sit down for a full review and spoiler-filled discussion of the film. We dive into how it compares to past Superman versions, what we thought of the casting, the tone, the themes, the action, the emotional weight (or lack of it), and where it leaves the future of the DC Universe.

PLUS: Our final ratings and a few surprise cameos along the way…

226. Ever wanted to eavesdrop on two mates having dinner after a movie? Well, now’s your chance.

In this very unstructured (and very real) episode of Tailoring Talk Magazine, Bobby and Jon hit Le Comptoir Libanais on London’s South Bank after seeing the new Superman at the BFI IMAX. With food arriving mid-record, mocktails in hand, and no Alex to keep them on track, the conversation covers:

😂 And why dry chicken wings make for great podcast drama
