On this episode, Danny and Sam catch up with the BAFTAs and look forward to the Oscars, which have now happened (but never mind), and we put Oliva Colman where she belongs: on blast!
Plus, we talk about three films! Danny gives his take on the Oscar-nominated Can You Ever Forgive Me?, which is also the question the Academy should be posing to the world after failing to reward this good film and bungling most categories in general. Sam meanwhile, in the grip of the flu at the time of the recording, feverishly mumbles his way through reviews of a pair of Netflix originals: Steven Soderbergh's High Flying Birds, a drama about some aspects of professional basketball Sam absolutely does not understand, and Velvet Buzzsaw, a horror-comedy which fearlessly and scathingly calls out the art world as pretentious. Sam will never buy art again.
We also discuss Richard Curtis's Beatles film, which looks like a sort of glorious daydream for People's Vote campaigners, and of course we do a deep dive into THE TRENCH.
