What’s your favourite property in Monopoly? Alex explains the best ones to go for if you want to win… Capitalism! Owning money is great, it lets you buy great stuff, like fridge magnets, waffles and dignity. Yeah, the analogy kind of stopped working. Also you’re able to make women be the iron because its ironic.

A kids' book based around a violent post-traumatic stress disorder sufferer, played by Sylvester Stallone? It is not, what you would call, a barrel of laughs. So of course, they made a kids cartoon of it. This isnt that unique. It also happened withRoboCop,Highlanderand most bizarrely, TromasThe Toxic Avenger.

But thats nothing compared to what shell have to do to get them through the night. The final season ofBoardwalk Empireof course also came up… Carmen Ejogo:I dont perceive it as escapist at all [Laughs]. You said human nature. CE:I think its both.
