Scoop, The Trouble with Jessica & Best Revenge Films Kermode & Mayo’s Take
-
- Film Reviews
Bonus reviews include ‘Scoop’, a Gillian Anderson and Billie Piper-starring biographical drama, which explores how the women of “Newsnight” secured the infamous interview with Prince Andrew about his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein; and ‘The Trouble with Jessica’, a satirical black comedy, which follows a London couple in deep financial trouble, whose situation takes a terrifying nosedive with the shocking behaviour of an uninvited dinner guest.
This week’s One Frame Back is the best revenge films to coincide with the release of Dev Patel’s directorial debut ‘Monkey Man’.
Plus, Mark and Simon help us decide what to watch, and what to avoid, this weekend.
They also answer a few of your Questions (film-related) and Schmestions (non-film related), from whether there is a name for when a line from a song directly corresponds to the action on screen to their recommendations for album of the week.
