    Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984 Movie)
    Sep 10 2026

    Hold onto your heart, dame, because we’re leaping from an airplane into 1935 India with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Is this the most racist period drama we’ve ever covered? Yes. But Kim and Alice are swinging in to deliver you some glowing stones of truth about the goddess Kali, the supposed Thuggee Cult, and of course vampire bats.

  • The Fainting Couch: The Odyssey (2026 Movie)

    The Fainting Couch: The Odyssey (2026 Movie)
    Aug 27 2026

    A man! A war! A horse! A podcast! After several weeks adrift Alice and husband/audio producer Keith ended up on the mythical island of Ireland, where they went to the cinema. In this Fainting Couch episode we’re comparing Odysseuses (do you prefer sinewy-sad or hopping psychopath?), working out who broke Zeus’ law the hardest, and whacking bits of bronze together.


    Kim and Alice will be reunited on 10 September for the start of a new season!

    Ever After (1998 Movie)
    Jul 17 2026

    It’s time to scuttle away from your problems, as we cover the ultimate sleepover movie, Ever After. Whilst Leonardo da Vinci does all our DIY, Kim and Alice have great news for fans of historical edicts, and less good news about the real Prince Henry’s love life.
