  • Like cradling a warm cuppa

    Jonathan and Honey are at the top of my list of weeklies to listen to on my morning walks. Their relationship is so warm and fun and although I often disagree with Jonathans thoughts on films or shows, that’s part of the enjoyment of it. Thank you to you both.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP 125: Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, The Chestnut Man: Hide & Seek, The Outlaws
Q: Imogen says, My question is, what is something that TV dramas used to do brilliantly that modern television has largely abandoned? And do you think we're better or worse off for it?
They miss long-running series that let characters grow gradually, with episodes that feel uneventful yet essential to character development, and they also miss musical episodes as a bold, creative device; overall, the hosts believe more serialized experiments and live drama could enrich contemporary TV.
BONUS: "Why would you want a stinky little man?!"
Q: What was your spookiest moment in film or TV that stuck with you and kept you up at night?
Memorable scares often come from unpredictable turns or clever direction, like the one-shot sequence in Exorcist 3 or the mirror cut in Widows Bay, which linger because of their atmosphere and execution.
BONUS: "Why would you want a stinky little man?!"
Q: Hi Jonathan and Honey, would love to hear both of your opinions on Steve Carell. I've started watching Rooster on HBO and find it a bit stuffy and old fashioned. Your thoughts?
We think Carell's range is strong and welcome his work, though Rooster may feel dated or predictable to some; we're open to giving it a go to see if it proves us wrong.
BONUS: "You were delighted by my repulsion!"
Q: And how do you know when the actors have let a movie down?
When a performance feels out of sync with the rest of the film or pulls you out of the dramatic flow, indicating that despite strong acting choices, the overall cohesion is compromised.
BONUS: "You were delighted by my repulsion!"
Q: So my question is, how can you tell that a movie had potential and could have been good if it wasn't badly directed?
It's largely subjective, but you look for moments where a performance feels authentic within the flow, and you identify when one element jars you out of the story, signaling that direction may be the limiting factor.
