A wonderful insight
I grew up supporting Liverpool FC and do to this day. I remember the highs of the eighties and the lows of the nineties. This candid and frank collection of interviews with both players and managers delves into the reasons behind Liverpools gradual decline in English football in the nineties. Its a turthful behind the scenes diagnosis and autopsy on a Liverpool side who failed to be the dominant force that they were in the Eighties. From player ego's, mis-managment and an unwillingness to modernise this bares it all and is well worth a read if you have read the first insalment (The Red Machine). There is also a third book entitled Ring of Fire which i shall also be reading. A very good read and pute to bed some of the myths associated with 'The Spice Boys' :)

Watched on Amazon prime I used to have fox news at one time on my sky box and knew of some of the people who read the news never knowing what was going on behind the scenes. On with the review not usually my cup of tea but it was rather good movie the stand out acting goes to Charlize Theron who plays Megyan Kelly at one point I thought it was Megyan Kelly and not Charlize Theron the rest of the cast is excellent do I would highly recommend the movie

More factually-oriented reimagining of Carry On Girls. As preparations for Miss World 1970 gather pace in London, the contestants get to know each other and consider their different backgrounds, while a group of feminist activists prepare to make a protest and sabotage the show.

The behind-the-scenes at the actual show is fascinating, occasionally thoughtful, and does a good job of showing just what an absurd and unpleasant anachronism Miss World was, even fifty years ago, all without labouring the issue. Unfortunately, all the scenes with the protestors are clompingly nuance-free and simplistic (NB I am not of the target demographic for this movie, probably; your mileage may vary). Nevertheless, a very fine performance from Gugu Mbatha-Raw, an enjoyable comic turn from Rhys Ifans, and at least the glimmerings of recognition that things aren't quite as one-sided as they sometimes seem keep it watchable.

"I was a teenager when I got into Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody was everywhere after it was on Wayne’s World. There’s so much joy in their music, a real not-giving-a shit-ness. It’s great to see them in this documentary being these normal, geeky people. You see all the mundanity that goes on behind the scenes of Freddie’s showmanship on stage, plus there’s the unexpectedness of hearing his gentle English accent. Then you hear him live, and see the sweat in his moustache, and it’s spine-tingling."
