'A bit like the embarrassing cousin nobody wants at a family wedding'

In this episode, Anna faces her fears and finally watches Gregory's Two Girls, Bill Forsyth's last film and the follow up to the much-loved Gregory's Girl. Joining her to talk about it is film podcaster Rich Nelson. 

The film revisits Gregory Underwood (John Gordon Sinclair), now in his mid 30s, still living in Cumbernauld and working as an English teacher in his old school. With the help of two of his pupils, Gregory uncovers some shady dealings by a local businessman.

Anna and Rich discuss negative expectations caused by unfair comparisons, the importance of moving on in life, and how the late 90s weren't that different from the mid 70s in British cinema.
