   “Give me a child until he is seven and I will give you the man…” Sam and Natalia watch the final film in the UP series, 70 UP.

Topics of conversation include Pixar's UP, Michael Apted and Asif Kapadia, sexism, Eton, roasting BOYHOOD, the BFI Southbank, HARRY POTTER, Rooney Mara, Marvel, unconscious bias training, how race plays a part in British culture and history, being born out of wedlock, Simon Says, and the British class system.
