Go to the bathroom first. You could wet yourself
Alan offends the working class on air so goes to seek redemption and we get a documentary delivered in his acutely awkward way. It is patronising, difficult to watch and so funny I had to keep rewinding it as I was still laughing from the previous scene.

Oh, if you don't like Alan Partridge you won't like this. Why you don't, I don't know.

"Clark played the character ‘Nitro’ on the television series American Gladiators, and if you read only one book on vacation this year, this has to be it. After a dark childhood, steroids launch the author into a new life as a national celebrity built from mountains of chemically enhanced muscle. The dream falls apart as he sprouts breasts he can’t conceal inside his skimpy spandex costume, then suffers high colonics in order to pass mandatory drug tests. Of course, there’s redemption, but not before a ton of laughs."

2010 post apocalyptic action/adventure, which is about as close as I've ever come to seeing the author David Gemmell's character of Jon Shannow (aka The Jerusalem Man) on screen!

Let's see the similarities:

Post apocalyptic? Check.
Essentially a Western? Check.
Lone survivor wandering the plains/roads? Check.
Said survivor looking for redemption? Check.
Whilst carrying/quoting from a Bible? Check.
Gunfights and bar-room brawls? Check.

Yes, there are differences - including a very big reveal at the end - but, all in all, there are a heck of a lot of similarities ...

Ridiculously early Oscar predictions:
Best Picture- Jojo Rabbit (they have never been keen on satire, but it looks like a winner at TIFF)
Best Director- Terence Malick, A Hidden Life
Best Actor- Antonio Banderas, Pain & Glory (plays a veiled version of his director like Roy Scheider)
Best Actress- Cynthia Erivo, Harriet
Best Supporting Actor- John Lithgow, Bombshell (they like villainous people)
Best Supporting Actress- Annette Bening (famous Oscar loser gets redemption)
Best Original Screenplay- The Farewell (QT has 2 already)
Best Adapted Screenplay- Jojo Rabbit (writers live satire though)
