Would you kill baby Hitler? That classic moral dilemma sits at the heart of The Boys from Brazil (1978), where Gregory Peck's Josef Mengele pursues a chilling plan to revive the Reich. Adapted from Ira Levin's Nazi-hunter thriller, the film blends real history with speculative science fiction in unsettling ways. After that, we tackle Das Experiment (2001), a dramatic take on the Stanford Prison Experiment. We talk through how the film captures the terrifying speed at which normal people can be dehumanised, corrupted, and broken by power.

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.
