I though it was going to be about pirate radio, but instead it made me surprisingly sentimental for The Full Monty, Bend It Like Beckham, East is East, etc. and the script tickled me. Five bags.

The Batman 2022
In some ways it’s refreshing to watch some superhero bullshit where evidently no one has gone full method.

World on a Wire 1973
There’s a mirror in every frame. This film is wonderful, I’ve been trying to get hold of a copy of it with English subs forever. Michael Ballhaus (Frequent Scorsese DOP) does some crazy things with mirrors and orange. Fans of yer gaslight-sci-fi genre should pair with The Mind Benders (1962). Very ahead of its time conceptually. Five bags of popcorn, and a sheet of amber acetate from me.
