Here at Cousins of Hope we regularly celebrate heroes and all the joy they can bring. Therefore we are both incredibly sad to hear of Adam West's, one of the world's finest Batmen passing yesterday. Farewell Bright Knight.

Actor Adam West, the star on the classic 1960s Batman TV series, died Friday at the age of 88.

Alien Covenant is out today, which, as you'll know from previous Cousin episodes (and Minotaur's Head sessions), means Matt is in a quandary. He adores Alien but despises Prometheus. Which way will he go? Lisa, for one, is excited to find out! In the meantime, this seems like the perfect excuse to remind you that our latest episode is all about fear - the good kind - and features a reasonable amount of chat about why Matt loves this seminal film so much. There's also some talk of Dracula, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and defiant potatoes. https://hearthis.at/hubrismosaic/cohpodcastep8/

Lisa's beloved Supergirl (well, Peter O'Toole specifically) makes this utterly brilliant list. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/apr/13/helen-mirren-fast-and-furious-8-great-actors-daft-movies Next up in the 'what the...isn't that...?' hall of fame: Anthony Hopkins in the next Transformers move

Helen Mirren’s appearance in the Fast and Furious franchise is a bit of a surprise. But virtually every notable actor – from Welles to Brando to Blanchett – has cashed in an easy paycheque for a dumb franchise or a duffer
