More Welly and More Willy

Listen to this episode from Kermode & Mayo's Extra Takes on Spotify. Bonus review this week of ‘The Return’, the new film from Pasolini (but not that one) about the long-since-departed Odysseus’ return to Ithaca in Homer’s Odyssey. Plenty of capital A Acting going on in this one—Juliette Binoche is giving it some welly as Penelope, and Ralph Fiennes’ Odysseus is giving it some...well, willy. Ever since little-Jason-gate this show is getting more full-frontal by the week. Plus, Mark reviews the return of dystopian anthology Black Mirror in its seventh series—which we should also say features our very own Ben Baby Smith. Keep your eyes peeled for a ‘Now & Ben’ coming up with showrunner Charlie Brooker and Emma Corrin—star of episode 3 ‘Hotel Reverie’. This week’s One Frame Back is on Oscar-winners turned action stars, and we know that sounds a little specific but hey, there are a fair few. Mark reviews your movie picks and selects the smashiest and crashiest of them all.  Choice witterings this week as always on how Homer could have saved himself some time by listening to Alice Cooper, what links The Sound of Music and The Hills Have Eyes, and one very Showbiz North London cab journey.
