This week we decided to choose two movies that just had absolutely no business in being corralled together, and actually had the best time. First up it’s ‘What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?’ (1962), the film that rebooted the careers of Bette Davis and Joan Crawford and started a whole new genre: hag horror. And then we move on to Avatar (2009), the dream-work a decade in the making from James Cameron; an overwhelmingly large film (maybe he’s compensating for something?) which seems pretty simple on paper… because that’s what it, in fact, is. If you like your movie stars fading and desperately clambering for relevance, and if you like your sci-fi overlong and unoriginal, or perhaps you just LOVE the Papyrus font, this episode is for you!
