Summary

For this week's pod, the team journeyed North to bonnie Scotland to record live at the Glasgow Film Festival - mainly so we could eat our own bodyweight in Irn-Bru sweets, which one listener was kind enough to provide. We also found the time to sit down with Sir Michael Palin, who reminisced with Chris Hewitt about The Holy Grail, Doon Castle and new documentary Final Ascent. Plus all the usual movie news and nonsense, including Helen's analysis of all things Oscars and only the tiniest bit of Dune tedium from James.

1:06.0	Thankfully, the cops realised it was a genuine mistake and they released me in time for the podcast,
1:11.0	but I still can't help but be mad at Fendrars Infinity War light to us.
1:16.0	You can't apparently deep fry a cabab up here or maybe that's just something they do in Edinburgh.
1:22.0	Yeah.
1:24.0	They do all kinds of weird freaky shit in Edinburgh.
