The Best Bits Best Bits Plus

Will watched The Fall Guy, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, and a pair of '70s crime films in Joe and Rolling Thunder. While Kevin finished Sugar S1, caught up on X-Men '97, and saw the fantastic new sunburnt noir film from Rose Glass: Love Lies Bleeding.

They also chat more about Baby Reindeer and discuss a friend of the show's new film Abigail. It's another bumper episode of the Mini Bits.

Over on the Guesthouse tier of The Best Bits Patreon, Will and Kevin have a sideshow running where they talk about writing. The last two episodes felt like a good encapsulation of what they do on that show. They're a change of pace from the usual shows, but for those who are interested in the screenwriter side of things, these might scratch that itch. Enjoy.

Screenwriters Will Collins and Kevin Lehane explore the art of exposition—how filmmakers convey crucial background information and context to the audience. From seamless integrations and clever storytelling techniques to the dreaded info dumps, they discuss how exposition can make or break a film. ~ Written by ChatGPT-4

Will and Kevin got on mic for a spoiler-free chat to discuss, among other things, the brand new Netflix show Ripley with Andrew Scott, the surprisingly strong Omen prequel The First Omen from Arkasha Stevenson, Adam Wingard's Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, and to continue their thoughts on 3 Body Problem, Mr and Mrs Smith, Invincible, Shōgun and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Plus, they run through the big upcoming releases of the summer.
