    Better the Devil You Know

    Churchill's off the banknote, the British public are outraged in Benidorm, and nobody can remember what he actually did in the war.

    Listers

    A documentary about competitive bird watching turns out to be one of the best things on YouTube. Plus: the Criterion Channel recommends feel-good films, a small Iranian boy tries to return a notebook, fiction gets a bad reputation, and nobody can remember the plot of Slaughterhouse-Five.

    Hello again

    We're back? After a short, five-year hiatus, Perception Issues returns with a brief reintroduction — covering crochet axolotls, the surprisingly brilliant green screen tech Disney invented in the sixties and then lost, and the eternal struggle of spelling onomatopoeia.

    #13 - Walking and Talking during lockdown

    Annabel and Ian return in these trying times with a new mobile format. Sort of. With COVID19 doing its thing around the world, A+I use their bi-weekly stroll for coffee (exercise) to talk about the pandemic, comfort in Youtube coffee and Scifi, and potentially filling a Succession-sized hole.

    #12 - Nostalgia

    Is Nostalgia good or bad? Has it become too powerful? Why are we obsessed with what was? When is a remake a worthy remake? Annabel mostly asks questions that neither Ian nor Annabel can answer. One thing we can agree on, Nostalgia has some serious Perception Issues.

    #11 - Is social media evil?

    Annabel tries to talk Ian down from the social media ledge. Is it evil? If so, when did that happen? Myspace was fun, right? Can humans be trusted with anything?
