OM DENNE EPISODE
You wouldn't think a film with a name like Steve would prompt such a wild variety of tangents, but it's all here, from Graham's hatred of eggs to Mark's attempt to restart the War of the Roses. Yes, we're talking about Steve, the Netflix film starring Cillian Murphy and co-starring everyone from Tracey Ullman to Little Simz, the latter fresh off the back of making Graham's Album of the Year 2025 with Lotus.
As well as giving you the 101 (FM) on Simz, we also talk about what the film does and doesn't get right about its '90s setting, and its pre-fame cameo for a currently-big British comedian. And since Mark and Graham are currently over on Patreon running The Geek Show's arts and culture podcast The Arts Hole, they also talk about Max Porter's source novel and the many interesting changes made in adapting it for screen. Don't worry if that sounds a bit highbrow, we also insult Ricky Gervais's terrible new cartoon.
As mentioned, Patreon backers get podcasts not available anywhere else, like The Arts Hole and Rob's franchise review show They'll Love Me when I'm Dead, plus our end-of-month round-up Last Night... There's also a Simbi-themed bonus episode of this very show coming up, as well as weekly articles about The Twilight Zone and Doctor Who.
