More Daniel Kaluuya, Mean Girls, Werner Herzog: Radical Dreamer & Films Directed by Actors

Strap in for more interesting chats with Daniel Kaluuya, exploring ‘The Kitchen’ and his wider career. Bonus reviews include ‘Mean Girls’, a musical reimagining of the Tina Fey-penned 2004 smash hit teen comedy, based on the Broadway musical of the same name; and ‘Werner Herzog: Radical Dreamer’, a documentary exploring the life and work of the iconic director. One Frame Back is the best films directed by actors to coincide with the release of Daniel Kaluuya’s ‘The Kitchen’. This week’s Take It Or Leave: You Decide is ITV hit political drama ‘Mr Bates V The Post Office’ that dramatises the events of the British Post Office scandal, a miscarriage of justice, which – between 1999 and 2015 – saw over 900 subpostmasters unjustly prosecuted for fraud and theft. Meanwhile, Mark takes another whack at working out which film synopses have been combined in the second round of Plot Smash. Plus, our dynamic duo are on hand to help us decide what to watch, and what to avoid, this weekend.
