This was excellent. I often think of those young people dancing and enjoying the reunification of Germany and the end of the Cold War, as I was 18 or so. I wonder what they think of how it turned out…

I’m still not over Ian’s commendation of the Evita movie! Oliver Stone had a hand in it, and the casting of Banderas was inspired!

The Apartment is wonderful and kind of focuses on the New Year. I used to watch Stalag 17 on Christmas Eve, sticking with Billy Wilder

Hi! The Rosenbergs were executed for conspiracy to commit espionage and the guilt of Julius R has kind of been accepted in the light of subsequent information, but it’s sill controversial as Nikki said

I’m in awe of the research you put in… would love to be able to shut out the world and read like that.

Professor Yaffle is the name James was looking for - the bookend. Plus John Craven broke the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster news to me…

I feel a bit seen because JFK was shot by a man who was able to walk away from the scene without first removing three shell cases; he then apparently runs home and shoots a cop before going to the cinema... then he is shot dead and I think what people expect is a reason for such a shocking event.

I liked when Chatar Lal was winding up the Colonel about the British Empire…

Yeah but George Harrison's hair, though...?!

I like the confrontation between Luke, Vader and the Emperor; first time watching, you don’t see Vader’s actions coming. But Empire is more satisfying although not the space slug!

Return Of The Jedi is better than you think it is!

Mayo never says "cunnilingus"...

This appeared in my feed and is right up my street! Excellent!

The first part of this video needs a beat to it! Absolutely brilliant episodes which I binged. I also remember it all from my childhood... Excellent work!

Moët has a hard t so James was saying it wrong!

I did the same, and came here to ask about it... Thanks!

I just started listening and went to reserve a copy of your book immediately!
