The Biggest Flop Of All Time?
Potentially the biggest flop of all time isn't from Hollywood, in publishing, or on the small screen. Richard & Marina discuss the failing of Sony's Concord, an online shooter game taken offline just two weeks after release. From huge flop to huge success, The Chosen is perhaps the most popular TV show in the world you've never heard of. How has this American Christian drama telling the story of Jesus of Nazareth, risen to achieve a Rotten Tomatoes rating on parity with Breaking Bad, The Wire and others? On Rotten Tomatoes people are making (and losing) money betting on film popularity ratings. Is review bombing gaming this system?

Is The Bear REALLY a Comedy?
If you've ever watched The Bear then you'll have seen anxiety inducing moments of real restaurant culture, tense family shouting matches and a ton more drama... however at the likes of the Emmys awards and the Golden Globes it is considered a comedy. Why? The West End is in rude financial health with musicals and plays proving as popular as they ever were, returning to pre-Covid success. A lot of the big West End successes are based on films or existing stories. Is there a lack of creativity in theatre, and will it hurt the art in the long term? Richard & Marina wrap this episode by talking The White Stripes vs. Donald Trump. Jack White is suing the former American President for unauthorised use of a song, but he's not the first to take issue with their music being coopted by politicians.
