Summary

This is a preview of a bonus episode! Find the rest on our increasingly reasonably-priced patreon! ----- Neatly positioned between Transporter 1 and 2 in our release schedule here is a movie that frequently sees mention in conversations about the 'greatest movies ever made': Andrei Tarkovsky's 1966 biographical historical epic 'Andrei Rublev'. Andrei Rublev, since canonised by the eastern orthodox church, was an icon painter who lived in the 1400s near Moscow. Little is known of his actual life, so what Tarkovsky gives us is instead a fictionalised biography set against the backdrop of a realistic 15th-century Russia. ----- FREE PALESTINE Hey, Devon here. As you well know I've been working with a few gazan families to raise money for their daily living costs in the genocide. We're putting all our energy into this one campaign as we have a real chance to get Ahmed and his family out of Gaza. Please, if you can help in any way, be that by donating yourself or sharing the link with friends and family, it will mean the world to me.https://chuffed.org/project/124906-help-ahmed-and-family-evacuate-gaza ----- WEB DESIGN ALERT Tom Allen is a friend of the show (and the designer behind our website).

0:26.2	Hello, please, the entire Supreme Court. How you doing? Please get the entire Supreme Court.
0:32.4	You know what? You know what? I'll do one to. Please get the entire Supreme Court. I don't know what those guys were on, yeah.
0:39.0	How are we dealing with the horrors of being trans in the United Kingdom, a country where that is now
0:45.2	even worse than it previously was, which was already pretty bad.
0:49.7	The horrors, the horrors. The horrors. I mean, the thing is, I'm tremendously grateful in a lot of ways to transphobes for taking away my legal rights because in so doing, they've made this episode's movie pick significantly better contextualized.
1:06.9	Yes, they did.
1:07.6	Listeners, for your benefit, we're recording this on Sunday the 20th of April, less than a week
1:12.0	after the British Supreme Court has removed transgender people from much of the Equality
1:18.6	Act, thus removing our kind of legal protection against sex discrimination.
1:22.6	Yes.
1:23.0	And in the same ruling, they have legally defined all trans people as our assigned gender at birth. They have also accidentally defined bisexual people out of existence. Yes. They finally answered that question, what is a woman? What is a woman? We've all wanted to know it. We found out it's exactly an only sex assigned at birth, and that's it. We've come down hard on an answer there.
1:45.1	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:45.4	It's whether or not you're able to get pregnant.
1:47.2	That's, yeah.
1:48.1	Intersex people and non-binary people don't exist as well.
1:50.6	That's the court's ruling.
