The Business of Film: Emily, Flux Gourmet & Anais In Love
James Cameron-Wilson laments a continuing weak UK box office. He welcomes a potential star in Emma Mackey from Sex Education in the film Emily (as in Bronte) but it only made #10 in the chart. He found Flux Gourmet from Peter Strickland engaging but baffling but that film barely troubled the scorers at #91 in the chart. James was happier watching Anais in Love starring Anais Demoustier on DVD, though he found the film all over the place. He hopes that Dwayne Johnson's new film can provide more cheer next week.

The Business of Film: The Woman King, Amsterdam, The Lost King & champagne with Angela Lansbury
James Cameron-Wilson takes us through the film in a box office chart down 18% on the week. The Woman King with Viola Davis, a true story of an African tribe of female warriors is #2 but james found it an unreal potboiler. David O. Russell's Amsterdam with an amazing cast including Christian Bale, Margot Robbie and Robert de Niro is #5 but James thought it an incoherent mish-mash. However, he did enjoy a true story behind the discovery of Richard III's body, The Lost King, with Sally Hawkins and Steve Coogan at #7. He also told Simon Rose how he was once invited to drink champagne with the late Angela Lansbury.

Gadgets & Gizmos: Killer robots, plants with machetes & brain cells playing Pong
Share Radio's technology maven Steve Caplin looks into a pledge not to weaponise robots, while a kinetic sculptor has armed a house plant with a machete in the name of art. A robot boot could help the elderly walk faster with less effort while Apple's new iphone has been assuming people on rollercoasters were in accidents. Brain cells grown in a lab of people and mice have been taught to play pong while a Crypto exchange that mistakenly refunded a woman $10.5m is having to sue in an attempt to get it back.

The Bigger Picture: Is Liz Truss an Existential Threat to the Conservative Party & Is Andrew Bailey the Right Man for the Job?
Political commentator Mike indian looks at what is effectively Liz Truss's 30 days in office, which have seen a rout of Prime Ministerial authority. Failing to carry her party's MPs or markets with her, has she plunged a dagger into the heart of the Tory coalition and is there an existential threat to the Conservative party? Mike also looks at the relationship of government and the Treasury to the Bank of England, where Andrew Bailey is a technocrat, much less politically astute than Mark Carney. And he wonders why, having got the energy market intervention right, Liz Truss was so unwilling to process with an awareness campaign to reduce energy.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Contrarian investing after 14 years of mispricing money unravels

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Contrarian investing after 14 years of mispricing money unravels
Russ Mould of A J Bell looks at the housebuilding sector and wonders if, in a tidal wave of bearishness, this is an opportunity for contrarian investors. He suggests bond yield proxies such as REITs are worth looking at. There are many types and, though offices may not fill again, the likes of supermarkets and online warehouses won't vanish. What we're seeing in the markets, he says, is the result of money being mispriced for 14 years and the encouragement of leverage and unwitting encouragement of complexity.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: What the cut in oil output could mean for global growth
Victoria Scholar of Interactive Investor looks at the rally in the oil price in the wake of Opec+ planning to cut oil output by 2 million barrels a day. While this may mean more misery for the motorist, it could benefit oil companies, despite Shell slumping after its pre-earnings announcement. But with many countries teetering on the edge of recession, could the higher oil price depress economies still further?

The Bigger Picture: Liz Truss's first month as PM, Europe and China & Is Keir Starmer ready for government?
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University assesses Liz Truss's first month in office and wonders if the era of the Magic Money Tree is coming to an end. He believes that the Bank of England, which has not performed well since the Financial Crisis, deserves greater scrutiny or it is in danger of sidelining itself. He considers how Europe is pivoting away from China and worries that China may become yet more authoritarian. And, while Labour is riding high in the polls, he believes Keir Starmer has a lot of work to do to make Middle England comfortable with him.

The Business of Film: Smile, Blonde & the top 10 horror films of all time
James Cameron-Wilson reviews horror film Smile at #1 in the UK box office chart, which he found overlong, clichéd and boring, despite a strong central role. He applauded Prima Facie which has now taken over £5m, the first event movie to do so. Despite its long length, he found Blonde, telling a fictionalised life of Marilyn Monroe, to be remarkabe, with Spanish-speaking actress Ana de Armas perhaps the best female performance of the year.

Gadgets & Gizmos: Standardised tech cables, Tesla's non-walking robot & high-tech animals

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: What should investors do in these markets?
Russ Mould of A J Bell is slightly puzzled by some of the market reaction to the UK mini-budget, given how little debt, relatively speaking, is being added to the whole, though realising how poorly it was presenting. He thinks investors should get rid of anything causing discomfort in their portfolios as that discomfort could get much greater. He offers advice on the sort of stocks investors should be holding and, for reasons of diversification, wonders if short-term bonds might be worthwhile. But if there's a big shakedown, he says, then bargains will appear.
