Families, eh?

from The Clappers Hosted by Nearly

We've all got them, but thankfully not too many are like the mob in Patrick Melrose, the mini-series based on the memoirs of Edward St Aubyn. It stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Hugo Weaving and it is (says Karl) excellent, if rather gruelling. The Incredibles 2 is much easier going, says Andrew, a long-time-coming sequel that was absolutely worth the wait. In The Wife, meanwhile, Glenn Close is superb as the long-suffering spouse of a novelist (Jonathan Pryce) who is awarded the Nobel Prize - but is that prying journalist (Christian Slater) right in thinking he isn't the real author? All this and more on the latest episode of our favourite podcast for discerning consumers of culture high and low. TRAILER: The Incredibles 2 VARIETY: 'Incredbles 2' passes $1 billion worldwide TRAILER: The Wife KARL QUINN: Benedict Cumberbatch is superb, but it's Hugo Weaving who makes Patrick Melrose TRAILER: Get Shorty Music by Max Sergeev from Fugue.
