Will there be a subsequent episode featuring Mark Riley??

Question, @theguardian.com: is your dreadful reporting (and lack thereof) on Israel a result of the IDF head's meeting with your editor? Or were you selected for that meeting because of a history of anti-muslim reporting??

BBC and Guardian editors held private meetings with Israeli General
Exclusive: Former IDF chief of staff met with Britain’s top journalists to promote Israel’s war on Gaza, it can be revealed.

It seems surprising that a liberal, up-market newspaper wouldn't have more pieces highlighting what's going on in Gaza and why Netanyahu wants to continue this war - why is that?
Wouldn't have anything to do with secret meetings you had with the head of the IDF, would it?? 🤔

Absolutely epic track. Can't say I know much of Womack & Womack's output, but this is a desert island disc for me

Color Out of Space, as part of the NicConaissance!
But for people who don't like absolutely mental Lovecraft adaptations (ie most people), The Power of the Dog

I can't be the only one who sees The Wedding Banquet and thinks - every single time - oooh, are they touring again?
Oh... wait... that's the Wedding *Present* 🤦

My mind instantly turns to Ocean's Eleven, which probably doesn't count, on a technicality (technically it's not underwater).
Mark will of course choose Splash, although that's also largely land-based

Hang on - are we talking about *chips* - like a chip butty? Amazing invention, fantastic nutrition.
Or crisps, like a crisp sandwich?
Which, come to think of it, is also amazing food. How else can you get salt and vinegar into your otherwise plain cheese sandwich?!

Mark will point out that Angle Has Fallen is the best 'has fallen' film, and probably has a soft spot for Xanadu and its music; so it has to be (classic example of bad videogame film) Max Payne!
