Show Notes

Charles and Graham pick up their discussion of the new Cate Blanchett film, Tár and explore the furore surrounding its controversial depiction of a female conductor, then turn the spotlight on two contrasting hymns to bygone cinema:  Babylon, directed by Damien Chazelle, who made the Oscar- winning  La La Land, and Sam Mendes' oh-so English Empire Of Light. Late Developers, the surprise tenth album by Belle And Sebastian, proves to be another gorgeous addition to the Glasgow band's consistently classy canon of perky pop and restless romanticism.
