139. Call Me By Your Name, The Death of Stalin, & Thor: Ragnarok

This week, we review the one millionth Marvel film, Thor: Ragnarok — a breezy, colourful adventure that shows that the studio has finally developed the confidence to include jokes in its movies. We also give our verdict on Luca Guadagnino's sumptuous and incredibly horny drama Call Me By Your Name and Armando Iannucci's The Death of Stalin, which sees the veteran satirist transferring the "sweary bureaucrats" mode of comedy he honed in The Thick of It to Soviet Russia, with bizarre results.PLUS! We discuss whether Woody Allen's newest project suggests he felt the romantic age gap in his film Manhattan was simply not wide enough, and Mark Wahlberg's inexplicable guilt over starring in by far the best film of his career.
