Proper deep 80’s dive into feminist empowerment led by the amazing Fonda/Tomlin team so beloved of us in Grace & Frankie, and teamed up with the one & only Dolly Parton. Ridiculous, amazing, absurd and important – in 2020 we
Greg Davies: Firing Cheeseballs at a Dog
There’s something bloody compelling about the way Davies tells a story. And despite basically knowing exactly what you’re going to get, it’s impossible to tear yourself away from his roll-call of tales. 👍
Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga
I just don’t understand how a story like this gets a 2-hour film – it’s typical “You just gotta believe in yourself, and you’ll see that what you’ve wanted was in front of you all along” stuff, with what I
Life of the Party

Alice Fraser: Savage
Having discovered Alice Fraser through The Bugle podcast I was very excited to see one of her standup shows – this wasn’t at all what I expected, but was excellent. It’s a personal piece centring around her Mum, her upbringing,
Like a Boss
Comedy about a pair of best friends (Tiffany Haddish, Rose Byrne) drawn into high-business by a third (Salma Hayek) and the conflict & compromise that ensues. This was a film that we watched.
