Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture.

In this episode, Tony & Carl discuss the rumours of shooting difficulties around Francis Ford Coppola's MEGALOPOLIS - is this another APOCALYPSE NOW?

Also, they discuss an AFI report about female representation in the silent movie era; a fascinating lawsuit around the 1968 Franco Zeffireli ROMEO & JULIET adaptation & the conversation subsequently about teenage exploitation in film.

Plus! In What We've Been Watching, Carl unpicks Sam Mendes' EMPIRE OF LIGHT, while Tony praises to the hilt ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT, isn't sure about Amazon's THE RIG, and tears a strip off Steven Moffat's INSIDE MAN. The horror... the horror...

New episodes of The Discourse drop each week every Monday and Tuesday, with the odd Thursday bonus...
