As Yard Act Overload us with new tunes, Jim Butler and Linda Marric join us to unpack the post-punk rockers’ latest album. Disney’s charming animation, Encanto, has Alex Andreou in a spell, but what will the panel make of it? Plus, Linda shares her top films of 2022, and we unpack Netflix’s new Japanese newsroom thriller, The Journalist.


  • “Nightmare Alley is del Toro's best film since Pan's Labyrinth.” - Linda Marric
  • “If you come from a large family with a strong female lead, you will love Encanto.” - Alex Andreou
  • “Yard Act don't have to paint themselves into a post-punk corner. They could go down an LCD Soundsystem route.” - Jim Butler
  • “The lyrics on Rich are worthy of Edward Lear.” - Alex Andreou
  • “You're hammered over the head from the opening scene that The Journalist is important.” - Jim Butler
