Mark Has a Cameo in a Movie!
Simon’s interview with Billy Crystal was so brilliant we had to put some of it in Take 2. Sit back and enjoy some wonderful anecdotes and insights from the comedy great. Bonus reviews include ‘Super/Man: The Christopher Reeves Story’, an illuminating retrospective on iconic Superman actor Christopher Reeve’s bravery and heroism in his own personal life in the wake of a life-changing spinal injury; and ‘Midas Man’, a biographical film about the life of music entrepreneur Brian Epstein, best known for managing The Beatles – our very own Mr Kermode has a cameo! This week’s One Frame Back is the best films featuring sex workers to coincide with the release of Sean Baker’s ‘Anora’. Mark and Ben take us through what’s worth watching and avoiding this week with the Weekend Watchlist/ Weekend Notlist. Plus, the duo answer your Questions (film-related) and Schmestions (non-film-related) - from Mark’s thoughts on why ‘The Godfather Part II’ is considered to be superior to ‘The Godfather Part I’ to their literary advice for a Vanguardista’s 8-year-old son with a love of writing.
