Description

You’ve had your Jamie and Ellie episode. You’ve had your Peter and Anahit episode. Now it’s a Peter and Jamie combo – possibly sponsored by everyone’s fave streaming service, Tubi. They’ll be discussing the sub-dom-rom-com Pillion, which stars Alexander Skarsgård as a dom biker who takes a shine to Harry Melling’s shy traffic warden. They also dig into the third film in Rian Johnson’s Knives Out series, Wake Up Dead Man, which sees Daniel Craig’s detective investigating some strange goings on at an Upstate New York church. 


And in honour of Wake Up Dead Man, we take a look at what’s required to create a good whodunnit.
