Promising Young Woman & Danger Mouse

It's pure serendipity that this week sees the Bad Dads celebrating the top 5 British movies just as our Island prepares for war with France over post-brexit fishing rights that we had no vote in and were little more than a footnote in the overall deal until the reality of actually implementing changes affected professional fisherman in both the Channel Islands and France. What a ridiculous mess all this is, from the naive reassurances from local government that we would be unaffected by the deal through to the frankly silly protests of the French fisherman over rules both sides are to adhere to and have had 6 months to work towards fulfilment of.  Fortunately our invaders have already reverted to type which means at the time of writing this, the gallic armada has waived the white flag and are heading back to Normandy, desperately in search of some deodorant and a Gauloises.

PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN is the directorial debut of the delightfully named Emerald Fennell, a former showrunner on Killing Eve, which I mention because that series proclivity for style and shocking plotting is also evidenced in this multiple BAFTA winning black comedy and Oscar winner for Best Original Screenplay. Carey Mulligan is outstanding as Cassie, a 30 year old medicine school dropout compelled towards revenge and vigilantism after her friends rape and subsequent suicide. There are some serious spoilers in this weeks episode so do be warned as there is simply no way to talk about the many interesting topics this movie asks us to consider without going through the plot in detail. Oh and Sidey reveals one of his sexual fantasies to us, which is nice.

This week Peter Andre asked us to watch the 2015 reboot of a classic cartoon, Danger Mouse. Alexander Armstrong plays the diminutive rodent tasked with saving the world from the nefarious plans of the evil Baron Greenback. Kelvin Eldon's Penfold and Stephen Fry's Colonel K provide assistance but can the reboot capture the anarchic British sensibility of the original?
