  • Dear Helen, love the pod (though with this, Empire and Women vs Hollywood on rotation, I think I've reached the point where I could happily listen to your dulcet tones reading a Wikipedia page, about the phonebook). May I please request we have reviews of two Christmas films I enjoyed recently - the surprisingly charming 'Snowglobe' (feat' Christina Milian and Lorraine Bracco) and the delightful but forgotten BBC gem (feat' Alan Cumming/Lenny Henry), Bernard and the Genie? Thanks!
