For this Out Takes, we went global reviewing films from Greece, Italy and a filmed staged production from the West End in London.

Out Takes Recommends: On The Road, The Invite, Ride or Die and Homebodies (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For this program, we decided to follow the KISS principle (keep it simple, stupid!) and feature a selection of reviews and recommendations for TV shows and films that we have recently enjoyed and wanted to make you all aware of too. Up first, ‘On the Road’ is an intense drug, violence and sex-fuelled Mexican thriller directed by David Pablos that introduces us to Veneno, a young hustler who makes ends meet by sleeping with drivers at truck stops in exchange for cash or drugs.
