  • Megalopolis: "The Cinematic Equivalent of Toothache”

    Megalopolis: "The Cinematic Equivalent of Toothache”
    Sep 26 2024
    This week’s guests are Saoirse Ronan and Paapa Essiedu, who are on the show to tell Simon all about their addiction recovery drama ‘The Outrun’, which sees Ronan star as a young woman fresh out of rehab, as she returns home to the wild Orkney Islands after more than a decade away. The pair discuss everything from their characters’ chemistry to Stephen Graham’s influence on Ronan’s performance – and there’s even more in Take 2! Mark also weighs in on the film, as well as giving his take on various new releases, including ‘My Old Ass’, which sees a girl’s 18-birthday magic mushroom trip bring her face-to-face with her wise-cracking 39-year-old self. And brace yourself for one of Mark’s finest hours of criticism with his take on Francis Ford Coppola’s long-awaited ‘Megalopolis’. You’ll be replaying this one, that’s for sure.

    The Substance: “Everything Cranked Up To Eleven-ty and Then Some”
    Sep 19 2024
    This week’s guest is Kathryn Hahn, who talks to Simon about her starring role in ‘WandaVision’ spinoff ‘Agatha All Along’, a dark comedy superhero miniseries, which follows witch Agatha Harkness, as she recruits some unlikely allies on her quest to regain her former powers. Mark gives his thoughts on the show, as well as reviewing various new releases: ‘The Goldman Case’, a French-language courtroom drama based on the real-life trial of left-wing revolutionary Pierre Goldman, who was accused of several armed robberies and the death of two chemists; “Girls Will Be Girls’, an Indo-French coming-of-age drama and Sundance hit, which follows 16-year-old Mira as she discovers desire and romance, only to have her rebellious sexual awakening disrupted by her mother, who never got to come of age herself; and ‘The Substance’, the much-talked about Demi Moore-starring body horror, which sees an aging aerobics star, who, after being fired on her 50th birthday, takes an experimental substance that promises to transform her into a ‘better’ version of herself – with horrifying consequences. Mark’s gonna have a field day with this one, we’re sure! Enjoy!

Kermode and Mayo's Take Preview Review

As a long time listener to Mark & Simon's Radio 5 Live show I was saddened by its demise. However, all is not lost as this new show/podcast sounds like a brilliant idea and a whole lot of fun is on its way in early May. I simply can't wait.

Feeling better now

As a LTL of that other show on a Friday afternoon, now deceased, looking forward and back to and from the new show. TTFN and getting through cold turkey until May.

So glad to find this here!

A new place to say hello to Jason Isaacs. Good. Looking forward to Wittertainia and tinkety-tonk and blue hair all over. My dilemna over not having an unfunny fruit based device is resolved.

Nowhere near as good as Wittertainment

As a LTL and proud member of the Church it pains me to say that Kermode and Mayo is nowhere near as good as Wittertainment.
Feel like the Good Doctors have sold out and so lost the magic and soul of their previous podcast. Not enough good content and feels like too smug.I don’t enjoy the main feed enough to pay for Take 2. Sorry
