More Josh O’Connor, Red Herring, Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, Baby Reindeer, Best Stunt Performances & Question Schmestions Kermode & Mayo’s Take

- Film Reviews
Josh O’Connor and Simon’s chat was so good that we had to include more of it in Take 2 – you're welcome!
Mark espouses his critical wisdom on ‘Red Herring’, an autobiographical documentary, which sees filmmaker Kit Vincent faced with a terminal diagnosis, leading him to enlist his family on an intimate and darkly funny journey to help them come to terms with his illness; ‘Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace’, the (chronologically) first instalment of George Lucas’ legendary sci-fi saga, which follows the first fateful steps in the journey of Anakin Skywalker; and ‘Baby Reindeer’, the unexpected smash hit Netflix series which is based on writer and comedian Richard Gadd’s real-life experience of being stalked and sexually assaulted in his twenties.
This week’s One Frame Back is the best stunt performances to coincide with the release of ‘The Fall Guy’.
Our bespectacled duo help us decide what to watch, and what to avoid, this weekend.
Plus, they answer a few of your Questions (film-related) and Schmestions (non-film related), from what happens when a director realises that an actor has been hopelessly miscast to the popular consumer products they think are giant rip-offs.
