<p>This week on FoF we honour the release of James McAvoy&#39;s directorial debut CALIFORNIA SCHEMIN&#39; by ranking The Best Movies Directed by Actors. Largely a subjective list of 19, but with some input from you guys from the group chat. Expect mentions of Favreau, Stiller, Gerwig, Wilde and more. Oh, and of course Clint. </p><p>I then review CALIFORNIA SCHEMIN&#39; and discuss how it&#39;s themes of northern aspiration resonate with me. </p><p>We also find time to discuss the potential long-term cultural impact of THE DRAMA (review on last week&#39;s show) before rounding off with praise for the cast of SNL UK. </p><p><br></p><p>SUBSCRIBE and join the FoF Family!</p><p>RATE &amp; REVIEW!
