I know you watch a lot of Brit TV, so you may have come across him when he hosted "Room 101" maybe?

An interview with Tony yesterday. The interviewer is comedian and presenter Frank Skinner who has been a huge rock fan for decades.

A couple of quick reviews...

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu

Starring Pedro Pascal, this is set after Season 3 of the Disney+ series but you don't need to have seen those first. This may well have been intended to be the basis for Season 4 but re-tooled for the cinema!

Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin, known as Mando, and his foundling Grogu work for the New Republic to hunt down neo-imperialist warlords of the former Galactic Empire. After a successful mission, Mando is tasked by New Republic commander Ward to find the mysterious warlord Commander Coin. The New Republic has been offered intel on his whereabouts by the Hutt Twins, siblings and successors to the deceased crime-lord Jabba, but only in exchange for rescuing Jabba's son and heir Rotta from the moon Shakari. From Wiki 'cos It's a while since I saw it and couldn't remember much about the plot!

In terms of Star Wars it's one of the better spin offs... the series that is. The problem with the film is that despite being well made it's episodic nature just makes it feel like a few episodes strung together! Some good set pieces mind. 7/10

Supergirl

Spinoff from last years Superman film, featuring Milly Alcock, Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, Jason Momoa and a cameo from David Cornswet as Superman.

After an altercation with villain Krem (Schoenaerts), Supergirl (Alcock) has to go on an intergalactic quest to find an anti-dote to a poison that her dog Krypto is slowly dying from. She has an unlikely companion (Ridley) out to avenge her family. Along the way they run into Lobo (Momoa) who helps out in a fight or two.

The actors do quite a good job, particularly Alcock, Ridley and Momoa but the story is very mediocre, Krem as the villain is very generic, and with Cornswet's cameo as Superman it is clear it's no more than contractual obligation as he really doesn't seem interested! Alcock is fine, there was a better film hiiding in there. 5/10
