Ethan and Talia discuss Bill Forsyth’s 1983 film Local Hero. We wonder if all our favourite films are so because of their nostalgic element; how we still take pleasure in a film with very little conflict; and how Talia is disappointed to find that this film is many other people’s favourite as well as her own.

Ethan and Talia discuss Sofia Coppola’s 2003 Lost in Translation. How in our history of rewatching this film our empathy has changed from Scarlett Johansson to Bill Murray; how the use of the Jesus and Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine and Air on the soundtrack elevated this to something above great; and seeing glimpses of the real awe-struck relationship between the young Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray.
