This week, eat your reviewing greens in the form of Stronger, an admirably almost-unsentimental drama charting the recovery of one of the survivors of the Boston Marathon bombing. Then, tuck into the tasty, mindless dessert that is Blade of the Immortal, a samurai epic whose IMDb page is the first Google result for the phrase "orgy of bloodletting".Elsewhere in this episode, we talk about Mr Dick Pants himself, John Oliver, and his interrogation of Dustin Hoffman; we ask whether the TV series Twin Peaks, created for TV and broadcast solely on televisions, is a film; we make interested noises about Tarantino and Star Trek; and we wonder about Bryan Singer's suspiciously timed health-related departure from the Freddie Mercury biopic.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
