The 50th anniversary re-release of âSlade in Flameâ is making Mark very happy this week, and heâll be reviewing this âCitizen Kane of rock moviesâ at the top of the show to celebrate. Starring the real-life Black Country glam rockers as the fictional band Flame, it follows their rapid rise and fall via record company clashes that reveal the darker side of the music industry. Plus, new (and new-ish) releases âThunderbolts*â, the Marvel anti-hero ensemble starring Florence Pugh, and âSinnersââRyan Cooglerâs 1930s southern gothic tale of two twin brothers coming face to face with evil when they return to their Mississippi hometown in search of a new start. It came out while we were on our holibobs, so weâre catching up this week with a full review and some top takes from those of you who have seen it already.
âAnother Simple Favorâ is out this week tooâand weâve got director Paul Feig, also known for âBridesmaidsâ, âSpyâ and, yes, the all-female Ghostbusters remakeâon the show to talk Simon through it. A follow-up to the 2018 hit âA Simple Favorâ, it sees Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick reprise their roles in a genre-mashing comedy-mystery-crime-thriller, this time on the isle of Capri. Feig talks power dressing, breaking his no-sequels rule, and how that Blue Origin all-female space flight could definitely be straight out of one of his movies. Mark reviews it tooâand we also hear plenty from you wonderful wittertainees, including your takes on Markâs âStar Wars: Revenge of the Sithâ review. Enjoy!
