Summary

Vanguardistas have more fun—so if you don’t already subscribe to the podcast, join the Vanguard today via Apple Podcasts or extratakes.com for non-fruit-related devices. In return you’ll get a whole extra Take 2 alongside Take 1 every week, with bonus reviews, more viewing recommendations from the Good Doctors and whole bonus episodes just for you. And if you’re already a Vanguardista, we salute you. Our very special guest this week is a body horror legend; director of ‘The Fly’, ‘Videodrome’, ‘Crash’ and many more genre classics... the one and only David Cronenberg. He talks to Mark about his new film ‘The Shrouds’. Written in the aftermath of his wife’s death, it imagines a technology that allows those who have lost loved ones to watch their interred bodies decompose in real time. He and Mark discuss the meaning of art, his unique approach to moviemaking, and why we are allowed—and encouraged—to laugh about this most serious of subjects. Mark reviews ‘The Shrouds’ too, plus two more of this week’s brand new movies. ‘Hot Milk’—a woozy summer psychodrama starring Fiona Shaw, Vicky Krieps and Emma Mackey—and of course this week’s gigantic blockbuster, Jurassic World Rebirth. What does Mark make of it—roaring success or bound for extinction? Listen up to find out + the Box Office Top 10 and excellent correspondence on what you’ve been watching this week on the big and small screen.

0:00.0	Hi, it's Elizabeth from How to Fail here. Just dropping in with some great news that I hope will make your day about cheese. Well, dairy more specifically. As you know, I'm someone who just loves her cheese. I cannot imagine life without it, just as a mid-afternoon snack or a lump of delicious cheddar on a crumpet when I get home late. But I'm fully aware that for some of us,
0:21.6	eating lots of dairy, can cause a little discomfort when digesting. Well, I have a solution.
0:28.0	A lacto-free is a delicious range of dairy products with all of the taste, none of the lactose.
0:33.6	I'm all about food that meets my health needs, but I also don't want to compromise on taste
0:38.7	or joy. So this just feels like the best option, because a lacto-free has a delicious
0:44.2	range of dairy products, so you don't have to compromise on taste. If you're craving dairy
