    Let's Talk... Succession Finale (feat. Antonia Strafford-Taylor)

    It’s a special episode! Talking for the first time ever about this new-fangled invention called TELEVISION? What is it and how will it affect society going forward? Joining Charlie this week on a special Let’s Talk is our friend Antonia Strafford-Taylor and they discuss the series finale of HBO’s Succession, Season 3 Episode 10, With Open Eyes (dir. Mark Mylod, 2023). Listen to a slightly delirious discussion about Straff’s experience watching a live screening at the BFI, how Chicken Run’s Mrs Tweedy should be the gold standard for female villainy and what makes Succession’s twisted corporate world so damn special.

    Let's Talk... The Addams Family (1991) and Addams Family Values (1993)

    They’re creepy and they’re kooky, mysterious and spooky. In other words, they’re ooky. It’s… Charlie and Francesco? Welcome to another episode of Let’s Talk… This week, they delve into the dark, twisted recesses of cinema to talk about two movies that dared ask the horrifying question: What if a married couple really liked each other? Charlie and Francesco talk The Addams Family (dir. Barry Sonnenfeld, 1991) and its (allegedly superior) sequel, Addams Family Values (dir. Barry Sonnenfeld, 1993). Join them as they talk ghouls, goths, weird uncles, and the prodigal brilliance of Christina Ricci. Also, which host is Gomez, and which is Fester?
