  1. Who would make the worst James Bond?

    Who would make the worst James Bond?

    Our bonus reviews this week take us from tear-streaked romance to island-set savagery. First up is Reminders of Him, the latest big-screen weepie aiming squarely for the heartstrings with a story of guilt, forgiveness and the long road back to family. Will it earn a sniffle of approval from Mark? Then there’s the BBC’s new adaptation of Lord of the Flies, William Golding’s enduringly bleak tale of civilisation unravelling when a group of schoolboys are left to their own devices on a desert island. It’s been given the TV treatment by Jack Thorne—who else?! Mark weighs up whether this fresh take captures the novel’s savage spirit—or whether it ends up a little lost in the jungle. One Frame Back this week is all about agents—linking up with One Last Deal, we asked for all your favourite films about the people cutting deals and filling diaries. And speaking of agents, the boys consider the secret variety in a In Five Question Film Club, we hear your thoughts on last week’s film Withnail & I before turning our attention to The Silence of the Lambs—Jonathan Demme’s Oscar-winning psychological thriller that introduced audiences to the chilling brilliance of Hannibal Lecter. Revisit the lambs, the lotion, and that unforgettable dinner invitation—then sharpen your pencils and prepare your responses for next week. The correspondence bag remains pleasingly overstuffed, and as ever the Good Doctors wade through your Questions and Schmestions. Thanks for listening, Vanguardistas!

On this week’s episode of Kermode and Mayo’s Take, Ryan Gosling is with us to talk about his new sci-fi epic Project Hail Mary. From the challenge of bringing Andy Weir’s beloved novel to the screen to the peculiar pressures of carrying a space-set survival story (often alone), Gosling reflects on the film’s mix of brainy science, cosmic peril and unexpected heart. This week it’s Mark he’ll be chatting to, and they get deep on sci-fi gems from Silent Running to The Abyss—plus some behind the scenes gossip on Project Hail Mary’s epic karaoke scene. Keep an ear out for Mark’s review next week, and in the meantime there’s a trio of new releases on this week’s review slate. First up is Scarlet, a swashbuckling anime revenge drama based on the story of Hamlet. Then there’s How To Make A Killing, a darkly comic crime caper starring Glen Powell, and loosely based on the Ealing Comedy classic Kind Hearts and Coronets. And finally, One Last Deal—where a sports agent (played by he who shall not be named) battles to land a big contract and save his career. In Mark’s eyes though, the lead actor’s career is way beyond saving. Rant on the horizon, folks! We’ll also be shouting out our favourite women directors for this Women’s History Month; Plus all the usual Take treats: the box office top 10, a Laughter Lift that may (or may not) restore your faith in humanity, and your ever-splendid correspondence.

    Does THE BRIDE! earn its exclamation mark?

    Some exciting news—The Take is now on Patreon: www.patreon.com/kermodeandmayo. Become a Vanguardista or an Ultra Vanguardista to get video episodes of Take Two every week, plus member‑only chat rooms, polls and submissions to influence the show, behind‑the‑scenes photos and videos, the monthly Redactor’s Roundup newsletter, and access to a new fortnightly LIVE show—a raucous, unfiltered lunchtime special with the Good Doctors, new features, and live chat so you can heckle, vote, and have your questions read out in real time. On this week’s episode of Kermode and Mayo's Take, actor and national treasure Martin Clunes joins Simon… On the review slate this week: Pixar’s latest animated adventure, Hoppers—a high-concept tale of body-swapping beavers and environmental derring-do. Will it burrow into the Take’s good books, or be politely shown the exit? Then there’s The Bride!, a bold and buzzy reimagining of a classic monster myth from Maggie Gyllenhaal, starring Gothic romance, big hair, bigger ideas—Mark digs into the film’s ambition, while Simon weighs up whether it truly crackles with life. We also head back to Birmingham’s smoky underworld with Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, as the Shelby saga makes the leap to the big screen. Is it a cinematic evolution worthy of its razor-sharp legacy, or does it feel like prestige telly in slightly fancier trousers? Rounding things off is Mother's Pride, an intimate drama exploring family, sacrifice and the stories we tell ourselves. Tissues may be required. Mark considers its emotional pull; Simon braces for impact. Plus all the usual Take treats: the box office top 10, a Laughter Lift that may (or may not) restore your faith in humanity, and your ever-splendid correspondence. Thanks for listening!
