@RealBobMortimer as a Scotland fan, I'm enjoying my ride on the Ben Doak bandwagon, but what's your thoughts on the on-loan-at-Middlesborough starlet?

I've voted for THE ADAM BUXTON PODCAST - https://t.co/kylKmehN3v in the @britpodawards Listeners' Choice Award. Vote for your fave: https://t.co/naQTDLBvi2.

Let's build a country where pensioners don't have to travel on buses all day to keep warm and where they can afford to eat three meals a day.

@kermodeandmayo Darkman - a film that showcases Raimi's trademark horror flair and also serves as a taster for his delving into Spider-Man.
For me, Raimi is one of Hollywood's most industrious director's, and he showed this by splicing/hiding footage from Darkman in the first Spider-Man movie.

@campbellclaret Well said!
Would you please return to work in frontline politics @campbellclaret ? The country would benefit from your perfect calling out of this hideous Tory Government.

[Ian Johnston @ianj81]

@AngelaRayner Yup, resign.
I watched #bbc documentary on New Labour recently and it was depressing as it made me long for serious political leaders again.
What the UK Government has now is a joke. They broke the law, then they lied about it.

@wittertainment The last DVD of the week selection...
It has to be The Exorcist. I don't care if it isn't on the list.

[Ian Johnston @ianj81]

@wittertainment An abysmal Adam Sandler in the shortlist in the final week of the flagship show. How very fitting!

[Ian Johnston @ianj81]

@wittertainment Did the 5 Live producers select Get Out intentionally?! Seems a little on the nose for this week, doesn't it?

[Ian Johnston @ianj81]

@KermodeMovie @simonmayo I'm very conscious that I've never seen @KermodeMovie and The Karate Kid ) Cobra Kai's Martin Kove in the same room...

[Ian Johnston @ianj81]

@wittertainment If we pretend that Spirited Away isn't an option, it should be Only Yesterday.
Either way, Ghibli stands out this week.

[Ian Johnston @ianj81]

@wittertainment Amongst a few brilliant movies and Oscar winners, A Monster Calls stands very tall indeed.
It deserves to be seen by so many more people and is as regarding as it is brutally crushing.

[Ian Johnston @ianj81]

@wittertainment I don't think any of these are so bad it's bad. I'll opt for Robin Hood as it's so boring it's bad!

[Ian Johnston @ianj81]

@wittertainment The answer is Petite Maman.

[Ian Johnston @ianj81]

@wittertainment Ironic that I choose 28 Days Later, but in half that timescale there'll be radio silence from Kermode and Mayo...

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

If we put a 10% tax on wealth over £100m, we would raise £69 BILLION.

That could be used to put an end to the cost of living crisis and ensure nobody is unable to heat their home or is living in hunger

It's not that the Tories can't do this. It's that they choose not to.

[Ian Johnston @ianj81]

@wittertainment The Day the Earth Stood Still shouldn't be on this list... It's an incredible classic that has stood the test of time really we... Oh, wait. It's the remake?
Ok, fair enough.

[Ian Johnston @ianj81]

@wittertainment An American Werewolf in London. A true horror classic and one of the best movie endings ever.

[Ian Johnston @ianj81]

@wittertainment The VVitch all day long. Fascinating, astonishing and disturbing in equal measure and a good time-filler as we eagerly await Eggers' upcoming The Northman.

[Ian Johnston @ianj81]

@wittertainment I had an idea for a Liam Neeson revenge movie set across Europe... but it was Taken.
