Bit of a bonus episode here, but when you binge a whole Netflix series in 24 hours and get a world exclusive look at a new short film from Colin Trevorrow, what other choice is there?
Here are my 60-second takes on the Netflix film, Tall Girl, and the 8-part series, Unbelievable (two very different Netflix offerings!), along with short film Battle at Big Rock.

For National Writing Day, my work asked people to try a writing challenge, to use 'In this place...' as a starting point and write without stopping for seven minutes. I gave it a shot and this story is the unexpectedly profound result! The story also won me a work prize and I was able to donate money to two charities of my choice as a result: the MND association and Shelter. So it was certainly worth those seven minutes! Thank you to Sarita Jairath for reading it so beautifully for this podcast.
