Mark reviews ‘The Automat’, a Mel Brooks-fronted documentary centered on the vending machine popularised in the 20th Century that offered fresh cooked meals in a commissary-style eatery; ‘Anatomy of a Fall’, the Palme d’Or winning crime thriller about the trial of a woman accused of murdering her husband in their remote chalet in the French Alps; ‘Dream Scenario’, a surreal comedy about a hapless family man, played by Nicolas Cage, who finds his life upended when millions of strangers start seeing him in their dreams.

0:16.2	17, so I've got an idea. This came from inspired by a New York Times podcast which is I think called Match of Opinion and it's three people giving
0:20.5	their opinion about the news, that kind of thing.
0:22.7	And they ended up, so it sort of vaguely, well no directly plugged into the American electoral
0:28.0	cycle, but they, far more interestingly, they ended up playing fantasy presidential elections, but they were talking about candidates,
0:34.8	some of whom we knew and some of whom we didn't.
0:37.6	You know, if the current crop, none of them can stand which Republican and which Democrat.

1:29.0	Obviously you normally would then go for Martin Sheen, President Bartlett.

1:37.9	Republican who's played by Alan Alder.
1:39.6	Two of my favorite actors in the world there. So it has to be kind of better than
1:45.8	Martin Sheen against Alan all. What about that would be? Okay. What about Martin Sheen in the West Wing
