In this episode, Lord Marcus and Mr B have a yarn over the films they can't help but go back again and again. Honour is given to beloved director, David Lynch, Mr. B gives a coming of age tale about vehicles and the implications of "no fault insurance" , how do your correctly pronounce “Louisville”, Lord Marcus gives us a rant on Hollywood's mis-use on "the token black guy" role in film and gives us an intimate look into his earlier years that, at times, strangely mirrored his most rewatched film... “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”.
Would it be an episode if Lord Marcus didn't throw out the book when it comes to what he classifies as “comfort”? Well, in our discussion there's sure to be some classics that'll you'll love and a few you maybe need to give a second look...

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
