On this podcast, Helen and Niall discuss the Queen's Gambit and The Crown, Season 4. Skip ahead to 24:00 -ish for The Crown. The Queen's Gambit has an amazing cast, and Helen almost didn't watch it because of the title and the thumbnail image Netflix used. The Crown, Season 4, introduces the hotly anticipated Princess Diana. However, this season fell flat in a few key ways, but thrilled in others.

Join Helen and Niall as they react to Joaquin's virtuoso performance in Joker for which he won an Oscar. Also, a look at Miss Americana featuring Taylor Smith. Tell Me Who I Am is a disturbing documentary. Is it believable? Is it entertainment?
