# 7: Jack Howard and Mark talk Bohemian ...

Mark Kermode
About this episode

Mark and Jack talk about why they love Bohemian Rhapsody – and what makes Rami Malek absolutely brilliant in it. They also find some flaws and disagreements, naturally.


Gemma Arterton talks about her work as an actor and producer. She discusses Their Finest, Gemma Bovery, Tamara Drewe, and playing Marilyn Monroe. She goes on to talk about her Guilty Pleasure: her favourite film is Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.
