Show Notes

This week, we do a quick news catch-up about what to watch during award season.

We also review The Dig (Netflix), based on the true story of the Anglo-Saxon horde unearthed at Sutton Hoo. We discuss the distant past and distant future, carpe diem, and why people now like to descibe humans as "stardust".

Then, we review News of the World (Netflix), Tom Hanks' new western. We talk about the cowboy fatherhood tropes, fake news, and the relationship between stories and facts.
