Recorded in Cornwall, UK, back in June 2026, Mark Kermode and Simon Brew took to the stage of the Plaza Cinema in Truro for an evening of nerdy movie chat!
The conversation ranges from the new Masters Of The Universe film (including Jared Leto, recorded even before the BBC's documentary about him) and Martin Scorsese's use of AI, to the uncut version of Ken Russell's The Devils, and a bizarre series of text messages from John Travolta!
Simon's live shows are taking him around the UK. You can find out his upcoming dates at filmstories.co.uk/live
