<description>In this episode, we discuss Christopher Nolan's time-hopping spy thriller, Tenet. We jump from Neil's faith to The Protagonist's bleeding heart and spare a thought for Cat's inability to stop talking about her son.

<description>After an unplanned hiatus, we're back to enthuse about Rian Johnson's latest offering - his terrific modern take on both a whodunnit and an homage to whodunnits: Knives Out. In this episode, we discuss Thrombey family morality, the Perfect Immigrant stereotype, and whether Daniel Craig's accent is breathtakingly good or indefensibly bad (spoiler: it's breathtakingly good).</description>

<description>We finally get around to talking about Hamilton, Lin-Manuel Miranda's award-winning musical about the until-recently unsung Founding Father.
