Hello, movie maniacs!

If you find yourself in times of trouble, Mother Mary may be the soothing blast of surreality you need.

The newest film from David Lowery – the talented writer-director who has managed to straddle the line between personal and commercial films with some success.

Starring Anne Hathaway as pop diva Mother Mary whose success has reduced her creative vision to routine, who seeks healing from her former friend and costumer Sam (Michaela Coel). Naturally the two must confront a ghostly presence that has entwined itself in their lives.

The movie also features some fine acting from Hunter Schafer and FKA Twigs, and songs by Charlie XCX and Jack Antonoff sung by Miss Hathaway herself.

Can Lowery successfully merge a stage drama with a glossy music video? Well, let Dave and Mary fansplain it for you!

Finally, Mary has some thoughts about The Drama with Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, as a couple whose marriage plans are knocked askew by an explosive revelation, and Super Mario Galaxy.

Thanks for listening.
