We start the pod with WWE news (obvs!). The WWE is off to Netflix - but recent allegations leave Mark reflecting on whether he can continue watching...
In TV, we discuss the finale of S2 The Traitors (7:35) and share our views on the first few episodes of HBO’s True Detective: Night Country (19:30).
In film, Mark reviews newly Oscar-nominated The Holdovers (29:36). And we’ve both been to see Andrew Haigh’s astonishing All of Us Strangers (37:00). We recommend avoiding as much as you can about both films before you see them, so our reviews are very light on plot and we try to avoid spoilers as much as possible.
We wanted to discuss the finer points of All of Us Strangers, though, so there’s a small spoiler section at the end of the episode, starting at 48:37. Please leave us at this point if you haven’t seen the film, but save the episode and come back for our thoughts later!
Enjoy!
