Summary

This week’s guest is novelist and screenwriter Frank Cottrell-Boyce, who tells Simon all about ‘Kensuke’s Kingdom’, his adaptation of Michael Morpurgo’s beloved novel, which sees a boy become stranded on a desert island after being swept overboard during a storm on a sailing trip with his family. The conversation is so good that we’ve got more in Take 2! Mark will be reviewing the film next week. The Good Doctor Kermode gives his thoughts on various new releases, including ‘The Echo’, a Mexican-German docufiction film, which blends detached observation with incisive commentary to capture the rhythms of life in the traditional Mexican village of El Echo; ‘About Dry Grasses’, a Turkish-language drama about a disillusioned teacher in a remote village who, facing allegations of sexual misconduct, meets a colleague who may help make sense of the challenges at hand; and ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’, which sees Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman don their superhero costumes and join forces for another Marvel outing in which Wolverine, recovering from his injuries, crosses paths with the loudmouth Deadpool, reluctantly teaming up to defeat a common enemy. Expect some A+ witterings from Simon and Mark, who bravely and boldly ask: how can we be more ‘Brat’ this summer?

Hi, I'm John Lovett Host of Lovet or Leave it.

0:05.0

You know it can be tempting to tune out the news completely,

0:07.0

but my producers won't let me, so instead I put on a weekly comedy show about it.

0:11.0

Every week I welcome an all-star lineup of comedians,

0:14.0

performers, politicians, and random gay guys to make sense of politics and pop culture.

0:18.0

And even when we don't succeed, boy we have fun trying. So join us as we run down

0:21.8

the latest headlines and figure out what the hell we're all

0:24.0

gonna do about it. Listen to Love It or leave it wherever you get your podcast. I'm wondering, Mark, are you can, are you brat, would you say by the way? I'm wondering if we can be brat or whether

0:48.4

it's something that we shouldn't. I actually understand what that's a reference to, which is remarkable.

0:55.0

So it's like it's an American thing obviously, but it's also a British thing.

0:59.3

Is it?

1:00.3

Yeah, because if Carmler is Brad, therefore she's the personification of something right however in the paper today it said and brat is pretty

1:11.2

female but it's described as capturing the current mood, sulky, sickly, hedonistic and

1:17.4

nihilistic.

1:19.4

So I'm not quite sure that we can, can we be that? I'm not quite sure whether we can can we be that I'm not quite sure whether but but

1:24.8

but also if but calmler isn't I would say I would say I would think she's headinistic

1:29.8

and neolithic is she she's not neolistic hedonistic and no anyway so I'm not quite sure but if so should we even try to be

1:40.5

Brad or would that be like you looking up whap online and then having to

1:47.5

delete my internet search history I just got yes or you know all the the lady chattily judge saying it's not a book you let your servants read, that kind of thing.

1:58.6

I don't want to, I don't end up sounding like that, but you know, should we even try to be brat? No I think the very fact that we're having this

2:06.6

conversation means that we shouldn't. What we should do is say yay if it's a good thing I don't know but has a
