Chapter 1: What new film is Sir Ian McKellen discussing?
Now, Mark, you were telling me the other day about this Saley eSIM app. Which one was that? Well, the one I just install on my phone before I go abroad so that I can save loads of money on roaming and data charges when I'm there.
Ah, yes, it's dead simple. Install the Saley app on your device and choose a data plan. There are multiple plans in over 200 destinations available at some of the best rates online. Then follow the instructions on the app to install the eSIM and it'll be activated instantly on arrival. So I don't have to buy a new SIM card when I get there? Nope, there's no queuing at a dodgy airport kiosk.
A Saley eSIM only needs to be installed once, and then you use the same one for each country you visit.
Chapter 2: What is the premise of 'The Sheep Detectives'?
Great. Does it let me skip all the other queues too?

I was just thinking the other day about the good old days.
Chapter 3: How does 'Legends' tackle the war on drugs?
What? The good old days in the Wild West. What's with the howdy, partner thing? Well, I was just thinking that when we started out in the radio, we were lucky because we had each other to bounce off. But most people don't have that support from a partner when they're starting out in business. and they can get overwhelmed easily. Yeah, very true.

Chapter 5: How does Ian McKellen describe his character in 'The Christophers'?
Have we begun? And I know lots of people like to watch us on YouTube. I'm just suggesting that too much attention is paid to what we look like.
Well, the hilarious thing is, so you're in your house in Showbiz North London. I'm in Ali's attic, where I have literally got everything balanced upon books and bits of wire and string, until about two seconds ago, in between us, was the behead phoned figure of Simon Paul who only just remembered to turn his camera off.
Oh, really? That's a shock.
Chapter 6: What insights does Ian McKellen share about working with Steven Soderbergh?
First thing in the morning. How are you doing? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Very good. I have, but you know, so for example, the first thing that I did this morning was arrange my bookshelf. Yes.
Chapter 7: What themes are explored in the conversation about unfinished business?
I had a bet with Josh that you'd spot this before we got anywhere, but the astute listener will have noticed this and also this.
You've suddenly gone into soft definitions of what you're pointing at. I'm pointing at two books on my bookshelf.
Can you not see?
Yeah, I know I can see that, but what are the books that you're pointing at?
Okay, I'm going to remove them slowly. Okay, fine. This is why I don't believe in pictures. Okay. What is this one?

Chapter 8: What are the highlights of the Mortal Kombat II review?
Oh, that's Steven Spielberg's Children.
By?
By Dr. Linda Ruth Williams, Professor Linda Ruth Williams, the definitive guide to children in the films of Steven Spielberg. And that is Surround Sound by Jenny Nelson and some bloke that she used to produce. Just saying, just saying. Just saying. A curated shelf. Well done.
Thank you.
Nicely curated. It's looking fine.
I have nothing else to contribute to the show, really, other than I have a curated bookshelf.
Your book's prominent. There was some correspondence, apparently, last week when we were talking about the Korean edition of Movie Doctors. Yeah. And some people said, that's not a Korean edition. That's a Chinese edition. No, no, there were two separate editions. The Korean edition, which is the one that, do you have it there? Yeah.
Which is the one with the doctor with laser beams coming out of their eyes, for which I am told that the title does not translate as the movie doctors. It translates as something like movies need to go to the, to the surgery. Chinese version. There we go. I don't think I've got a copy of that version. This is still wrapped. Did you get it from the publishers?
Yeah.
