It's Persepolis!

This is a good one. It's not your standard CBM fare but it was based on a comic and by jove does it tick all the right boxes. We both agreed that it's good as well which is a real rarity for us as you'll have heard over many, many episodes. There's so many layers to it too and I highly recommend that you watch it and see what you'll take from it. There's the story of a woman oppressed, there's the questions it raises over religion vs state, there's the East v West elements - all of it inspiring and all of it engaging.

Plus!

We found ourselves treading over very dangerous ground when reviewing this one. It's hard not to get sucked into global events - especially when some of the nations involved are still at the very forefront of the news. However, we think we managed it, just about. That's not to say that we think we're completely right on any of these issues nor that we aren't willing to be corrected or challenged on an issue. It's literally just our reading on things with the information we have and the experiences that have brought us here. If there's something that you feel we need to know, get in touch.

Also!

We're a little late getting this one to you and we're sorry for the delay. Basically, we're right in the middle of a house move which is proving to be far more complicated than it needs to be. Seriously, I could start a second podcast on how ridiculous the process of moving house is. Too many greedy gits trying to make sure they get a cut of something I reckon. That and bloody house price inflation. Who could have foreseen capitalism backfiring in such a way. Also, as you'll hear in the episode, we had a slight bereavement recently. Nothing slight about it actually, there was a bereavement and we can't change it in the slightest. Just one of those things though and we're all fine and dandy otherwise.

Thanks for your patience. It's really appreciated right now!

Marjane Satrapi is basically right most of the time about most of the things.
