After much discussion and anticipation, George has finally encouraged James to watch Richard Linklater's 'Before' trilogy.

Cannes. Venice. Tribeca. Film festivals are key parts of the film calendar, but underneath the exhibition of exciting new films a lot of the true business of film is conducted. From development deals to distribution rights, film festivals put the ‘business’ in showbusiness.

We wanted to gain a first-hand glimpse of what a film festival is like from someone attending for that reason, so we welcomed actor and writer Lucy Heath (our first ever guest!) to talk to us about her recent experience pitching her TV series at the Tribeca Film Festival.

We cover the strangeness of pitching, the brilliance of Greta Gerwig’s Little Women, and the questionable filmography of David Schwimmer.

One of the most popular shows of the late 2000s (and one which has a die-hard fan in #BillieEilish) #TheOffice ran for 9 seasons, and is now watched by an even greater global audience thanks to the show’s availability on streaming platforms worldwide.

Ranking each season, we discuss why season 3 was the show at the height of its strength.

Based on the rise and fall of one of the world's most valuable startups #WeWork (and the love story at its heart), #WeCrashed is the new #AppleTV+ show starring #JaredLeto and #AnneHathaway about the startup’s founder #AdamNeumann. James gives his take on the series so far.

Plus, criminally underrated actor, #SebastianStan is finally having the time to flex his acting muscles in #PamandTommy and #FRESH (both available on Disney+). The former is a series based on the scandal around #PamelaAnderson and #TommyLee's stolen honeymoon sex tape, and the latter is new film starring #NormalPeople star #DaisyEdgarJones.
