Show Notes

Movies are back! Hit Man is a stylish, twisty romantic thriller from acclaimed director Richard Linklater and stars Glen Powell (Anyone But You, Top Gun: Maverick). It hits Netflix on Friday and might just be our favourite film of the year.

Osman, Thomas and Mel talk about how the film subverts expectations, balances comedy, romance and big ideas around identity that are central to Linklater's work. They also dive into the director's incredible and diverse filmography and share their favourite of his films.

Plus, a conversation about the latest culture war over hip-hop and Impress Your Friends.
