The Best Movies Directed by Actors + James McAvoy's CALIFORNIA SCHEMIN'

This week on FoF we honour the release of James McAvoy's directorial debut CALIFORNIA SCHEMIN' by ranking The Best Movies Directed by Actors. Largely a subjective list of 19, but with some input from you guys from the group chat. Expect mentions of Favreau, Stiller, Gerwig, Wilde and more. Oh, and of course Clint. I then review CALIFORNIA SCHEMIN' and discuss how it's themes of northern aspiration resonate with me. We also find time to discuss the potential long-term cultural impact of THE DRAMA (review on last week's show) before rounding off with praise for the cast of SNL UK.
