We begin with an embarrassing admission from Mike and some reminiscences of stars past from José before discussing Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool, a biopic of Gloria Grahame's relationship with a younger man, which features two towering performances and not very much else. For once, Mike doesn't believe it's his terrible cruelty that prevents him from crying in a film - but what, then, is it? Also - thoughts on The Electric in Birmingham, the UK's oldest working cinema. Why don't we discuss it more? It's independent, it's notable, it should be an art house. We finally get around to it. Recorded on 3rd December 2017.
