Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

"Donald Trump now genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him. Also, he really is maniacally, unhealthily obsessive about the Nobel Prize."

Pretty sweet charity shop haul. When I was a teenager I'd always see posters for Emir Kusturica's Underground and like the look of it, but never got around to watching it. Hope it lives up to the poster!

Elvis Mitchell speak to Joshua Safdie on KCRW’s The Treatment about his latest film Marty Supreme. I particularly enjoyed hearing about how Joshua's collaboration with Ronny Bronstein and how their writing process is "quite combative".

"There was a reason that Bragg behaved like he was furiously chasing a rabbit – each episode has a dizzying amount to cover in barely 40 mins. Steering the academics and squeezing the right juice out of them, is an art form that Bragg mastered & Glenny must learn"
