To kick off the new year, Dara starts with a ‘listy’ episode, recalling his top 10 movies of 2024. He follows this with a list of his top old or previously seen movies, including 1954’s Rear Window and 1982’s Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
His favourite TV experiences involved a stunning central performance by the Irish actor Andrew Scott, and an actress who featured in two of his top movies of the year – can you guess who it is? Here’s a clue, her name rhymes with ‘Senbaya’!
Documentaries next, all movie or entertainment related, followed by podcasts, which ranged in theme from movies and TV to murderers, economists and Oxford philosophers.
