We're covering the much overlooked Jennifer's Body, the increasingly prophetic Children of Men & the stone cold classic... Stardust! We're still over Skype on this one but have the whole band back together specially to argue about the effectiveness of Michael Caine's constantly stoned hippy character in Alfonso Cuarón's horrific 2027 dystopia and of course to stan Bobby De Niro's Captain Shakespeare to the ends of the earth. Watch out for the MST3K reference! It's the episode were I wish I could just have a picture of Charlie Cox in that long white coat as the thumbnail!

Welcome back to the Film Show! On this one we're chatting about the star-studded Armando Iannucci love letter to Dickens: 'The Personal History of David Copperfield' & the new BAFTA nominations! As part of UoN's Diversity Festival we chat a lot about the failings of the film industry in diversifying things in front of and behind the camera and especially in relation to the BAFTA's wonderful push for diversity! We're talking about colour-blind vs identity-conscious casting, rejections of auteur and 'great man' theories, amplifying BIPOC voices & stories using awards and how much we still have to do! Plus, we review 'The Personal History of David Copperfield', a fantastic film that was a widely publicised use of colour-blind casting & just an absolutely cracking take on Dickens' work with Dev Patel's great lead performance really standing out. + I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't direct y'all to Khadija Mbowe, who has great videos on colour-blind casting, colourism, stereotypes in media and
