Or even inviting on guests unsure as to whether they even like war movies...

Loved Jodie Foster playing a psychoanalyst in Rebecca Zlotowski's La Vie Privee. A script that is both sassy and psychologically credible. Plus Daniel Auteuil at his loveable best.

Now for Ballad of a Small Player from a story by Lawrence Osborne.

the most delightful version of logging on to see what news you've missed

Dr Ramsdell, whose phone had been on airplane mode when the Nobel committee tried to call him, told the BBC's Newshour Programme that his first response when his wife said, "You've won the Nobel prize" was: "I did not."

To which Ms O'Neill replied that she had 200 text messages that suggested he had.

Your weekend listen: lust in the dust, deceit in the desert, intrigue in Italy. That's right, we're watching The English Patient, and asking the big questions: how come Juliette Binoche can do such a good job of cutting her own hair, and exactly how long was Kristin Scott Thomas left in that cave?

'Death...'? That's very Freudian.

(My favourite is Eldest Daughter. 'When you found me, I said I was busy, that was a lie.' 😥)

But the correct one, I am sure you will now agree.

Thank you. Arguably as strong as my impression of SS-Sturmbannfuhrer Von Hapen earlier in the podcast...

The Eagle has landed.

No, sorry. Wrong film.

What HAS landed today is my appearance on @warmovietheatre.bsky.social to discuss with @roberthutton.co.uk + @duncanweldon.bsky.social why THE ENGLISH PATIENT is the best war film ever:

Loved @lucyberesford.bsky.social’s Ralph Fiennes impression as much as Adam Buxton’s, as well as the similar take on the euphemistic picture pasting youtu.be/irEivzvZX9s

It's D-day minus 1. And I'm praying for good weather.

That's right: tomorrow I begin my airborne assault of @warmovietheatre.bsky.social to establish a beachhead for THE ENGLISH PATIENT

Only @roberthutton.co.uk
+ @duncanweldon.bsky.social stand in my way.
Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

What is War Movie Theatre about? How do we pick the films?
The idea was first to talk about the films we watched growing up, and how they shaped our understanding of the world. But we've gone wider...

Hello, new followers (thank you!). My content tends to be:

1. #Relationships
2. A bit of #sex (#Freud, eat your heart out)
3) #psychology/mental health
4) current affairs
5) Taylor Swift

Not necessarily in that order.

...but crazy theories need to be highlighted so they can be dismantled.

Lucy Beresford @lucyberesford.bsky.social · 17d

I disagree. I think it's a hugely important story, for anyone who is pregnant, planning to get pregnant, who has a child with diagnosis of autism etc. The fact that his theory is mad, and that it crowds out the great research being done in places like Glasgow into the real causes, is infuriating...

To be fair, that meeting was on Zoom, and I was still in my leisure wear. But, still.

As a side bar, am always struck by how the full instruction is "...believe them the first time." People repeatedly show us their true nature, and then we, apparently wilfully, choose to ignore what we see. Evolution is weird!

Because when I was made by my parents to wash dishes as a punishment, they too wanted the suds rinsed off. But I felt, but that way you're getting me to wash up TWICE. So it has always been my act of quiet rebellion, to leave the suds.

So, right now, the only reliable way to diagnose endometriosis is with exploratory surgery. But finally, real scientists (instead of male scientists), are on the job & of course they’ve identified multiple markers in menstrual blood that point to noninvasive testing.

Driven by the pain of endometriosis, this scientist is uncovering clues to its causes

Katie Burns is helping reveal the immune system’s role in the long-neglected disease
