Best Movie Year1987's The Fourth ProtocolReleased into UK cinemas March 20, 1987, The Fourth Protocol is a British cold war thriller starring Michael Caine.

Always Be WatchingCheer | Birds of Prey and The Emancipation of One Harley Quinn | Mythic Quest | Great Australian Railway JourneysHere's what you need to know about this episode:
• Dan talks about Birds of Prey and The Emancipation of One Harley Quinn (in cinemas now), but really wishes he had instead talked about the film Little Women (which is also still in cinemas and is really f*%&ing good).
• Chris talks about a Netflix cheerleading show called Cheer. This is unrelated to the TV show Cheers, which is very off-brand for this podcast. How good is Cheers?

Always Be WatchingThe Big Fat Quiz | Midsommar | The Mandalorian (finale chat)Every episode of Always Be Watching is a special one. But this week is incredibly special with special guest co-host Simon Band joining Dan Barrett to discuss the shows recently watched. Simon is very British. Almost too British. So, he discusses the UK panel chat comedy show The Big Fat Quiz. Dan is an artfully-minded guy and so he brings to the table the arty horror film Midsommar. And then the two TV podcasters offer some thoughts on the Mandaloran finale and the series as a whole.

Always Be WatchingApple TV+ is good... ?New streaming service Apple TV+ launched to a thud. The critics didn't care much for the shows. And there was a very loud contingent of people who didn't think there was enough content being offered at launch.
But after watching the new shows The Morning Show, See, For All Mankind, and Dickinson, the criticism seemed a little off-base. These shows are all entertaining.
Dan is joined by guest Ed Ngaluafe to discuss their initial thoughts on the service.
