00:00 Stephen's here looking like he's about to join the Amish community.
00:02 I think it was a mourning outfit to start with, to be honest with you.
00:05 Stephen, what have you been watching?
00:07 Yeah, it was. It was like a sort of funerary sort of vibe that I was going for.
00:13 It's appreciating.
00:14 I thought I'd just wear the Oppenheimer hat one more time.
00:18 And then I watched the other day at my local independent cinema.
00:25 I watched Some Like It Hot, which was really good.
00:28 Oh, brilliant. The 1959 Marilyn Monroe film
00:31 about two musicians who have to sort of escape the mob in Chicago
00:37 because they witnessed a mob hit, which I think happened to be the St.
00:41 Valentine's Day massacre.
00:42 And then they go undercover as two
00:45 female musicians in an all-woman band.
00:48 And fall in love with Marilyn Monroe's character.
00:51 I feel like I've never seen the whole film.
00:54 I feel like I've seen parts of it many times.
00:56 Really? It's really, really good.
00:58 It's a bit dated at points, but then it's also like wildly progressive in some ways.
01:03 Like it really does openly look at like
01:07 how women were treated by pervy men.
01:11 OK.
01:13 But only through the lens of...
01:15 Pervy men.
01:16 [LAUGHS]
01:17 No, I'm joking.
01:17 Yeah, the fact that it's two men dressed as women that are experiencing this harassment
01:21 and they're like, "Oh, this is wrong because it shouldn't be happening to us."
01:25 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:26 So it's like expressing it, but at face value and not really being like...
01:30 Yeah, I think it sort of misses...
01:33 It's really self-aware, but also misses the point a little bit.
01:35 OK, OK.
01:36 Different, different times.
01:38 Different times.
01:39 Yeah, Hollywood, you know.
01:42 Ugh, I'm sure back then it was...
01:44 That was very progressive back then.
01:45 Never mind the olden days.
01:46 And also it's made in the 50s and set in the 20s.
01:49 OK, yeah.
01:50 OK, oh, that was interesting.
01:51 Nice one, nice one.
01:52 What about you, Alex?
01:53 What have you been watching?
01:54 Or have you just been out frolicking through the fields?
01:57 Painting, glossary.
01:57 What's been going on?
01:59 I watched some episodes of Doctor Who because we've never spoken about that properly on here,
02:04 which is obviously a tragedy.
02:06 No.
02:07 Yeah.
02:07 Your fave, one of your faves.
02:09 We'll miss.
02:10 So what's... Old, old ones or modern-y ones or what?
02:13 Recent-ish.
02:14 Peter Cawley and Jenna Coleman, who are, as far as I'm concerned, the best ever to do it.
02:19 Oh.
02:22 Yeah, yeah.
02:23 That's controversial in the Doctor Who community, surely.
02:26 Well, it's not controversial in my bit of it, which is the bit where we all have the correct opinions.
02:31 But...
02:34 But you've got like a Doctor Who WhatsApp group, yeah.
02:37 It's bigger than that.
02:38 But yeah, yeah, no, they are.
02:40 They're the best ever to do it, as far as I'm concerned.
02:43 I've got my...
02:44 That's been ridiculous.
02:45 What do you think, Stephen?
02:46 Who's your favourite?
02:47 Oh, that's actually insane that Jenna Coleman's the best.
02:52 I mean, obviously it would be David Tennant,
02:57 called very closely by Christopher Eccleston.
02:59 Both excellent as well.
03:00 I feel Stephen's a little bit shocked here.
03:04 He's kind of lost for words, Alex.
03:05 I knew that Alex was a big Doctor Who fan, but I'm surprised that
03:10 then off the back of that, he's decided to add his hand on Peter Cawley and Jenna Coleman.
03:14 No question.
03:15 The best.
03:16 The mummy on the R&A Express must have been a life-changing moment.
03:20 No, all of them, earlier than that.
03:22 They're all...
03:23 I mean, I love all of it.
03:24 There's none of it I don't like.
03:27 And I will even tell myself that the Jodie Whisker and Chris Chibnall ones
03:30 were sort of passable, but they're the best.
03:34 Oh.
03:36 What about the new ones?
03:37 When is that out? Has that started yet?
03:40 David Tennant back for a couple and then Chita Gatwa from probably March.
03:44 Well, maybe we should get you back for...
03:46 If you're willing to come on Unpaid, Alex,
03:48 we can get you on to do a special preview.
03:52 It should be around the time of our one year anniversary.
03:54 It'll be episode 50.
03:55 Of Screen Babble.
03:56 I think, because I sat and worked it out.
03:58 Oh.
03:59 Yeah.
04:00 There you go.
04:02 Well, if you're willing to work for free, then do it.
04:04 I'm always willing to work for free.
