The Business of Film: Living, All Quiet On The Western Front & Causeway
James Cameron-Wilson laments a box office falling another 34% (ahead of next week's Wakanda Forever). The Banshees of Inisherin is strong at #3 with over £6m while Living, with Bill Nighy, enters at #4. James (and Simon) adore the film and hope Nighy will finally get the Oscar recognition that has eluded him. On Netflix, James thinks the German remake of All Quiet On The Western Front is a masterpiece while he finds Causeway, on Apple+, full of wonderful performances, including that of Jennifer Lawrence.

The Bigger Picture: Gavin Williamson, Matt Hancock, Sunak & COP and US mid-terms
Political commentator Mike Indian discusses the bullying allegations against Gavin Williamson and asks if Parliament gets these things right. He also explains why Matt Hancock should not have gone into the jungle and, in the wake of his about-turn on COP27, suggests that Rishi Sunak needs to develop a persona of his own. With the US mid-terms still not finalised, he points out that the Republicans failing to do as well as expected may have an effect on Trump's comeback hopes.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: US & UK interest rate rises & the latest from Sainsbury's
Richard Hunter, head of markets at Interactive Investor, updates Simon Rose on the latest 0.75% interest rate rises from the US Fed and the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee. As he explains, markets have reacted badly, more in response to the statements about the future, than to the rises themselves. He assesses Sainsbury's half-year numbers which show just how difficult times are for the supermarkets, with the discounters becoming ever more of a problem. Although the shares reacted positively, it is after a decline of around 30% over the last year.

The Business of Film: Barbarian, Bros, Hilma & The Good Nurse

The Business of Film: Barbarian, Bros, Hilma & The Good Nurse
Despite the box office declining another 14%, James Cameron-Wilson finds several films worthwhile. At #8 is enjoyable & unpredictable horror Barbarian. Bros, a studio LGBT romcom at #11 has been a financial bomb but James found it witty & compassionate. Hilma, the tale of abstract artist Hilma af Klint is, he thinks, Lasse Hallström's best film and one to seek out. He also admires the intelligent psychological drama The Good Nurse on Netflix with Eddie Redmayne & Jessica Chastain.

The Bigger Picture: Is the IMF fit for purpose, Africa's megalopolis & California's amazing success
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University asks if the IMF is fit for purpose in a world where power and wealth are moving east and where there are now competitors such as China? With Africa due to be home to 40% of humanity by the end of the century, he discusses the remarkable Megalopolis of coastal west Africa, one of the continent's great success stories. And as California is set to overtake Germany in the list of the world's largest economies, he considers why we can't emulate it in the UK.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Has normality returned to markets & are bonds worthwhile again?
Laith Khalaf of A J Bell tells Simon Rose that, to a large extent, normality has been restored to financial markets since Rishi Sunak becamse Prime Minister. Although the Autumn Statement has been delayed to November 17, the markets appear not be too concerned. Laith explains what the markets are expecting when the MPC meets next week and advises investors to keep an eye on bonds, which – although not beating inflation – are considerably more interesting than a year ago.

The Business of FIlm: Black Adam, The Banshees of Inisherin & Triangle of Sadness

The Business of FIlm: Black Adam, The Banshees of Inisherin & Triangle of Sadness
James Cameron-Wilson looks at a UK box office that still appears in less than robust health, despite the arrival at #1 of Black Adam, starring Dwayne Johnson. This DC comic spin-off, however, James found plodding and lacking in humour. He was more enthusiastic about #2, Martin McDonagh's The Banshees of Inisherin, reuniting Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson from McDonagh's earlier film In Bruges. With Emily and The Last King dropping out of the top ten, James advises people to look out for Swedish Palme D'Or winner Triangle of Sadness.

Gadgets & Gizmos: Flying cars, solving leaves on the line & hearing the Earth's magnetic field
Steve Caplin tells Simon Rose about a flying car that you can now order, although as a car it might prove somewhat lacking. He celebrates 21 years of the iPod, marvels at a couple of Lenovo prototypes, discusses the deadline to use up old-fashioned stamps, plays a recording of what the Earth's magnetic field might sound like, wonders why it's taken until the production of the Sand Rover to solve the problem of leaves on the line and explains how the first piece of land has just been bought using an non-fungible token.
