Date Night: A Quiet Place Part II (2021)

The Honeymoon Period ·

2021/06/05

We've been out! To a cinema! Together! To see a brand new film! A Quiet Place Part 2! In this podcast, we discuss what we remember from the first film, talk about what worked and what didn't in the film, and get waaaaay too excited by some trailers. NOTE: This podcast contains spoilers for A Quiet Place Part 1 from the beginning, but we clearly say before we go into spoilers for Part 2.

“Thame of Grones”: Mare of Easttown, Starstruck, ...

The Honeymoon Period ·

2021/05/28

After a short break, we're back to talk all things TV and film... We start by revisiting Mare of Easttown (3:20). Last time we talked about it, Mark wasn’t keen – but has he changed his mind? Mark LOVED BBC3's new comedy Starstruck (12:39) and he thought Elaine would too. Was he right? Inside No. 9 (19:08) is back for its 6th series. We review the first three episodes. Then on to films! Elaine reviews Woman in the Window (28:20), Mark’s been to the cinema (yay!) to watch Mortal Kombat (33:27), and

Date Night: Nomadland (2020)

The Honeymoon Period ·

2021/05/11

The Oscar Best Picture winner is here! Nomadland arrived on Disney + and we decided to sit down for a Date Night and see what all the fuss was about. It might be top of the charts for the Oscars, but where did Nomadland rank in Mark’s algorithm?! Featuring an argument about background film watching, an unexpected Ross Kemp segway, and alligators, join us as we take in the beautiful vistas of the USA.

Urgent Exit Required: Line of Duty S6E7 THE FINALE!

The Honeymoon Period ·

2021/05/02

And we're done! Season 6 of Line of Duty is over, and we've gone through the episode like a team of forensic officers going through a strongbox hidden underneath a weapons lab. We cover what worked and what didn't work for us, our thoughts on a potential Season 7, and just why this season has meant so much to so many. We can't thank you enough for listening. It's been a blast. Sunday nights won't be the same! You can follow us on: Twitter - Instagram - Letterboxd We’d love it if you could leave

Urgent Exit Required: Line of Duty S6E6

The Honeymoon Period ·

2021/04/25

It's the penultimate episode of season 6 of Line of Duty, and there's so much to cover! What does Jo know? Who's pulling the strings behind the OCG? How should we best pay tribute to a fallen villain? How long is Mark's streak on DuoLingo, and which Line of Duty character does Elaine identify with? And: Is there ANYTHING Amanda can't do? Thanks so much for listening - we genuinely can't believe how many people are tuning in to our late night rambles! You can follow us on: Twitter - Instagram -

“Where is my car chocolate?”: This Is My House, Too...

The Honeymoon Period ·

2021/04/23

This week, we discuss the joys of hiding snacks from your life-partner and lament the loss of 3D sports (who doesn’t want to see Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor the way James Cameron would want you to…). We also find the time to discuss our new favourite reality show This Is My House (02:00). Elaine explains why ITV Drama Too Close (07:00) took a couple of goes. And Mark gets a distinct feeling of deja-vu with Mare of Easttown (12:00). We go through what went wrong and what went right with Godzilla vs. Kong

The Honeymoon Period ·

2021/04/18

Last week we thought this was going to be a low- key, set up kinda episode of Line of Duty, and how right we were.... Join us as we talk about Jed Mercurio's takeaway orders, Elaine's weird celeb crushes, high school romances, and of course, THE BIGGEST CLIFFHANGER IN LINE OF DUTY HISTORY.

Urgent Exit Required: Line of Duty S6E4

The Honeymoon Period ·

2021/04/11

Episode 4 of Line of Duty was so full of awesome that we've had to record our longest Urgent Exit Required yet! Whose DNA does Jo's match? We've rewound, paused and tilted our heads, trying to read what was on the paper, and still can't work it out. We turn shamelessly to our friend Neil's theories! Meanwhile, we still find time to discuss The Bill, The Office, and Elaine even makes room to explain police rankings to Mark. And, of course, 'Will u show me your trunshon'. You can follow us on:

Date Night: Palm Springs (2020)

The Honeymoon Period ·

2021/04/10

Finally, after months of waiting, Palm Springs has finally been released in the UK, via Amazon Prime. Mark largely spent the nine months since the film's US release Googling when it was going to arrive this side of the Atlantic. Elaine has barely even heard of it. So what better way to spend a Friday night? Is it better to go into a film knowing absolutely nothing? Where can we get a pizza-shaped lilo? And just WHY is Mark currently watching Riverdale? Answers to this and more inside... You can

The Honeymoon Period ·

2021/04/01

We’re back! After an unintentionally long break, we’re here to talk about almost literally EVERYTHING we’ve been watching. You know that phrase, comparing apples with oranges? Well, bear that in mind as we try to decide which show is more enjoyable: Period thriller The Terror (02:00), or fun dark-comedy The Flight Attendant (10:00). We also give our quick thoughts on the first couple of episodes of Marvel’s (The) Falcon and the Winter Soldier (20:00). We’ve been watching movies too! We trade

SpoilerVision: Unpacking Marvel Studios’ WandaVision

The Honeymoon Period ·

2021/03/08

Join us as we discuss WandaVision, the Marvel Studios’ TV show that defied all expectations. Is Mark going to sing THAT song? How many times will we mention Lost? And what exactly *are* runes…? MEGA WARNING: Right from the off, we spoil MAJOR plot points in WandaVision. We also discuss many of the films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a massive twist in Season 2 of The Mandalorian, and – weirdly – the end of M. Night Shyamalan’s The Village. Please proceed with caution! Also… sorry for the sound

"Let me just find my spreadsheet": The Vanishing at...

The Honeymoon Period ·

2021/03/04

We're back! Sorry it's a bit late. We'll explain why, and how there could have been a lot more beeping in the background of this podcast... Mark's been catching up on Season 7 of The Walking Dead (not Season 8 as he says in the podcast! Ooops!) (3:09) and has finally started warming to The Expanse in Season 2 (5:45). Elaine has been, as you'd expect, watching real-life crime documentaries in Forensics: The Real CSI (7:15) and The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel (9:30). But, for once, we've been

For this week's Date Night, Elaine introduces Mark to early 2000s sci-fi thriller Minority Report. Join us as we talk about what Spielberg got right in his vision of the future, (and what looks outdated already less than 10 years later), swimwear in 2054, how the Precrime Department pays tribute to the board game Mouse Trap, and the Mark's confectionary purchasing choices.

"Diamond Lights": WandaVision, Katie Price: Harvey...

The Honeymoon Period ·

2021/02/10

We're British and getting on a bit, so in order to live the stereotype we're talking about the weather. In TV we review DisneyPlus' first televisual instalment of the MCU, WandaVision (5:06). Elaine has been watching BBC documentary Katie Price: Harvey and Me (17:26). And (in a huge mood shift) we share our love for The Masked Singer UK (26:05). PLEASE NOTE: we get a bit carried away in our The Masked Singer discussion, and get into spoilers for previous episodes, so if you're planning on watching

2021/02/01

It's Date Night, and Mark has picked a soon-to-be classic animation for Elaine to watch, The Lego Movie! Did Elaine think 'Everything is Awesome'? Or would she rather have spent the entire experience repeatedly standing on loose pieces of a Danish construction toy? Join us to find out!

The Honeymoon Period ·

2021/01/25

… and we’re back! After waaaaaaay too long a break, Mark and Elaine discuss what they watched over Christmas, and talk in depth about some of their new favourite shows. Just how much of Finding Alice (6:32) has Elaine watched and why does Mark keep on shouting “Howay the Bay” when Elaine talks about Season 2 of ITV’s The Bay (13:20)? Surprisingly, neither of those questions get a conclusive answer. We give our first impressions on Channel 4’s big New Year show It’s a Sin (19:09), and Mark talks
