The Best Movie 2 Pod

2025 is not disappointing us in being just as insufferable as 2024. We brought in the annoyingly optimistic comedian Alexandra Haddow to cheer us up and advise on how to escape the January funk.

Along the way we'll ask the big questions:

Would Rocky have been happier if instead of raw eggs he had the tin of beans with the little sausages in?

Why is Maggie Smith so hot for Peter in Hook?

Is Stanley Ipkiss a dangerous incel?

Have a listen, all the best surviving January. Love you!
