#delToro's #Frankenstein: intelligent, humane, mannered, probably better on #Imax than #Netflix; good performance as monster by Jacob Elordi. Must review old Tom Baker version, too! Did it miss today's AI zeitgeist, in favour of ye olde gothic flesh - or not? www.rottentomatoes.com/m/frankenste...

Be interesting to amortise a youth centre vs a single youth in prison (not equivalent functions, but former probably helps avoid manual of latter)

Agreeably witty & often sardonic when audible, though, as you say. Not got there yer, but the bonus episodes (12 &13 ?) with Kissing era will prob be rather eyebrow raising, today!

Nearly 50 years old, and Galbraith/ soundtrack a bit mumbly at times, but from an era where intelligent, shared, canonical sources could be discovered, discussed and debated. A model of everything that should be part of the digital age, but now feels lacking in a sea of unweighted voices of 'merit'.

The Age of Uncertainty - Series 1: 1. 1. The Prophets and Promise of Classical Capitalism John Kenneth Galbraith tells the story of the men who laid the foundations of economics, including Adam Smith, David Ricardo and Thomas Malthus.

Footnote on watching BBC's #AgeOfUncertainty is just how much more visibly polluted/hazy long-shots of Paris, Spain, UK, Western cities etc looked in mid-1970s vs now.

Strong Message Here - Deep Disillusionment in This Country (with Stewart Lee) - BBC Sounds Armando Iannucci and Stewart Lee find the sources of deep disillusionment in this country.

This might be on #BBCSounds; it might not be. It's living proof of The Immersive World of Fabulospeculationβ„’Β©.
@aiannucci.bsky.social (or Amanda U Nucci to his AI friends) & Stewart Lee fabulously speculate. #Fabulospeculation www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Not just far cats, but small biz, too, with partners often sans paid hols, sick leave, company insurance etc. Plenty of small biz really struggling at mo.

Riot Women - Series 1: Episode 1 Frazzled by demanding jobs, chaotic families and endless spinning plates, five women’s worlds smash together when they form a punk rock band to enter a local talent contest.

Wowed by #BBC #RiotWomen, with a stellar cast and standout performance by Rosalie Mae Craig as 'Kitty' E4/6 in - can't wait to view final episodes on iPlayer (plus broadcast). BBC trailers don't really do this excellent drama full justice. Riot Women www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002hd81
