Emma is still away working with the gliteratti but this show Robert managed to bag himself a guest host! He is joined by Lost in Film Monthly’s Becky Bartlett and together they tackle two actor-turned director projects in this episode.

Also under scrutiny is Nick Moran’s The Kid, the adaptation of the Kevin Lewis novel. Which actor/director is the next Eastwood and which is the next Shatner?
