Whilst we never got to see Edgar Wright’s Ant-Man, the silver lining on that shrinking-and-growing-again cloud is we got to see Baby Driver, the film he’s been planning for around two decades, that little bit sooner.
Jay Cluitt was joined by Kristen Lopez, Nikhat Zhara and Courtney Small to discuss the action-crime-musical-comedy-romance-thriller, it’s glorious soundtrack, and just how much they hate Ansel Elgort’s face.
Also on tap: Rants and Raves of the Week and a game of Last Lamb Standing.
