What Inspired Mark to Compare Batman and Robin to Citizen Kane?

Extra Takes Only
Kermode & Mayo’s Take
Bonus reviews include 'My Favourite Cake,' an Iranian drama in which a 70-year-old widow, seeking to revive her love life, experiences an unforgettable evening following a chance encounter; and 'Batman and Robin,' the much-maligned 1997 superhero movie that has since become a cult classic, starring George Clooney in the bat-suit and Arnold Schwarzenegger as the fan-favorite 'Mr. Freeze,' which is heading back to cinemas. This week’s One Frame Back is your favourite Ian McKellen performances to coincide with the release of his new film ‘The Critic’. Mark and Simon take us through what’s worth watching and avoiding this week with the Weekend Watchlist/ Weekend Notlist. Plus, our bespectacled duo answer a swathe of your Questions and Schmestions – from what tastes so good they can’t believe it’s healthy to why movie trailers stopped having ‘Red Pepper’ voice overs. Strap in for a long and winding Take 2! You’ve earned it!
