Sorry for the delay between July and this, but as Boris Johnson so eloquently said “Them’s the breaks.”

Both Mark and Paul would like to wish you all a very merry festive season. Here are some inventions, a new feature and some pretty cool recommendations. Catch y’all in 2023.

Swell Oh El’s in this episode are…

Peter Duggal, and his brilliant collaboration with Wolfgang Flur on Magazine 1

The very funny Only Murders In The Building.

Excellent horror film Barbarian, fabulous Tv series The Bear on Disney+ and This Is Only The Beginning by Michael Chessum.

One last plug…check out Red Election on Disney+ three eps of which were written by Paul.

Recorded the day after Boris Johnson resigned, so there’s a sense of giddiness that isn’t wholly down to Wine.

Our Swell Oh Els this week were Merlin the bird recognition app. The new Slow Horses book Bad Actors by Mick Herron and Netflix’s uplifting Bollywood action film RRR

This was recorded mid Feb, before Putin’s disgraceful invasion, which is why there is no mention of current events in the show. Our hearts and solidarity is with Ukraine.

Plus St Augustine’s Centre in Halifax, and please do search for local refugee centres near you – they need your support, which can be done in many ways, not just by donating money.

In which Mark and Paul discuss dreams, who they are, and ponder the underrated state of contentment (oh, and gardening). Mark’s inventions are badly translated film titles. Paul’s Middel Oh El is a psychic conjuring up film titles.

Mark ponders how to switch off to Britain’s current political climate. And Paul wonders if we’re hit peak podcasting. Mark’s inventions are badly translated movie titles and our Middel Oh El this week is “Can you guess the next line to this poor pop song lyric…?”
