Dolly, the summer in film and autumn delights
Kelly and Matt have watched a LOT of Tv and film since the last episode. Today's show kicks off with a homage to the late, great Dolly Parton. A final review of The Bear is order of the day whilst discussing what they've been watching, which also includes the likes of Ted Lasso and the new serial killer crime drama Furious, on Disney +.
Both Matt and Kelly have managed to squeeze some of the summer blockbusters in like Toy Story 5, Spider Man and The Odyssey so you can get their verdict on those as they ask 'Is it still worth going to the cinema to see a movie?'.
Finally, there's a look ahead to some of the shows coming up in September, but more specifically Strictly and what the changes in the hosting team hold in store.
