Andy Burnham - Our First Indie-Kid PM?
6/22/202657 min
Does Hollywood have a problem with censorship? What's the best post-pandemic movie? Is Andy Burnham, Britain's next potential Prime Minister, actually cool?
Amazon MGM Studios has dropped their upcoming Luca Guadagnino film 'Artificial', with some speculating it's because the movie features an unflattering portrayal of OpenAI founder Sam Altman. Is this yet another example of tech billionaires censoring the media industry? Richard Osman and Marina Hyde discuss if studios can do anything to fight back?
Keir Starmer is out. Andy Burnham is in (maybe). Richard discusses the former Manchester Mayor's 'indie-kid' credentials with a rifle through his record collection.
Quentin Tarantino says there are no good movies post-pandemic. Is he wrong? We discuss the best films of the last half-decade, and why the world is so list obsessed.

Richard Osman· Host0:15
I wrote to Howard Jones. Uh, and you maybe three months later, a sort of signed photo comes back that's clearly pro forma. You know, that, that you, you know Howard's never really looked at.
Marina Hyde· Host0:23
Steve Martin used to have the pro forma sort of thing, which would just leave blanks, like insert, like small detail to, to make a joke about how completely impersonal his personal reply to you was.
Richard Osman· Host0:35
Now- So it was just like a standard thing ... impersonal is interesting, that's why we're talking about this, 'cause with Octopus Energy, you always can reply to their emails. And not only can you reply to them, they will go to the same small group of people who always deal with you. That's, like, unbelievable.
