Happy New Year! What a year it's been, we're joined by film journalist Ellie Calnan to discuss the year that brought us strikes, Barbenheimer, and an extended discussion on that bath soup scene from Saltburn. We look at our favourite and not so favourite movies of 2023.

We get our heads out the gutter and open our brains as we invite psychotherapist Dr Natalie Cawley onto the pod to get into the minds of some of our favourite (and least favourite) film characters. Was Hannibal Lecter a good therapist? Should group therapy members be sleeping together in Colour of Night? And Would Sydney Prescott be able to get out of bed without being heavily medicated? And we analyse Joaquin Phoenix in DC's Joker.
