  • wonderful and integral show! A great work.

    Thank you both for this endeavor. So much insight and intelligent discussion within. The guests/interviews are always illuminating.. cos of the smart questions asked.

    Ellen’s opinions are sometimes predictably cynical .. is it a Gen Z or a Millennial thing? Much is judged through the lens of hindsight, decades of internet discussion and general frustration with our devolving society.

    Understandably so, and her viewpoint is still crucial. Agreed or not, her takes are always thoughtful and rele... more

  • Wokery at the BBC? Surely not.

    Dr Kermode is - as always - fantastic. A fount of knowledge, and endlessly entertaining. The frequent wokery from Ms Jones, however, is endlessly irritating.

    One listens to such podcasts for entertainment, not to be preached at by the ignorant.

  • Hitmen. I had no idea I wasn't allowed to like La Femme Nikita, because women are objectified (Even though for about 30 years it hasn't crossed my mind).

    But it's ok for Brad Pitt to look sexy in Killing Them Softly, or a sexy professor in 'Hitmen' (which my predictive text changed to 'hotmen'🤭🤭) or 'Le Samurai’ which everyone on the podcast say the hitman has to be sexually attractive and isn't it wonderful.

    I give up.

    'LFNikita':11/10.

    'Kill List': best British film ever.

    Podcast: 7/10

I think they chose me because I was honest during the interview process and that quality stood out.
Stephen King
Q: Why do you think Stephen King is considered to be one of the most adapted authors of all time?
His prolific work, grounded stories and relatable characters contribute to the high adaptation rate of his stories.
Frankenstein
Q: Do you ever find yourself identifying with the monster?
I found the monster interesting because it wasn't treated right and resonated with societal issues of abandonment and prejudice.

Q: What would you say are the things that stay the same or the kind of elements of Mary Shelley's story that you were keen to hold on to even in your adaptation?
I wanted to maintain the intimacy of family relations and the thematic exploration of loss and ambition.
