  • 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.

HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS BONUS: "two chimp masks and a couple of strap ons"
Q: How has Halloween Horror Nights evolved over the years to keep it fresh for returning guests?
Laura explains that growth comes from expanding the number of houses and scare zones, refining live shows, and continuously listening to guests to balance different tastes, from gore to story-driven fright, while weaving in original content and popular franchises.
BONUS: "Pazuzu, behave yourself!"
Q: If you could only watch films from one actor, who would you pick?
Honey and Jonathan discuss strong favorite actors who offer a wide range, such as Philip Seymour Hoffman and Jean-Paul Belmondo, noting how their bodies of work cover diverse genres and moods.
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.
