Description

We go long on this episode about the cult British comedy starring Richard E. Grant and Paul McGann as two drunken, unemployed actors who spend a weekend in the country. Under the surface is a surprising film about the end of the 1960s, the end of prolonged adolescence, and the end of a friendship. We talk about Doctor Who, Charles Dickens, George Harrison, and finally Mary gets into a rant about the (narrative) crimes of Steven Moffat.

Sure, the 1980s were a great decade for film. But have you seen all of them? No, neither has Mary. In fact, some pretty big films passed her by, what with being in kindergarten at the time: A Nightmare on Elm Street, Moonstruck, My Neighbor Totoro... So it's time to fix that.
