The Business of Film: The Batman, Ali & Ava, Against the Ice & The Metamorphosis of Birds
Most films are suffering the onslaught of The Batman, says James Cameron-Wilson, looking at the UK box office. This dark version of the Dark Knight, almost 3 long hours long, took £13.5m over the weekend, the 3rd highest since the pandemic. British indie comedy Ali & Ava made #9. James had reservations about Netflix's true-life survival drama Against The Ice, a Danish-Icelandic co-production. But he loved Portuguese The Metamorphosis of Birds, almost a new cinematic art form in itself, out in selected cinemas and on various streaming platforms.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: The knock-on effects of Ukraine
Russ Mould of A J Bell discusses the knock-on effect on economies and markets of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Much depends, he says, on whether things stabilise quickly or not. Of all post-war conflicts, he feels the Arab-Israeli War of 1973 could be the most relevant, with its extraordinary impact on energy prices. If there is no rapid solution, then central banks could find themselves battling stagflation with little in their armouries. Investors should aim for a diversified portolio with plenty of exposure to "real stuff", the antithesis of what's worked for the past ten years or more.

The Business of Film: The Duke, Cyrano & The Justice of Bunny King
James Cameron-Wilson looks at the UK box office just before 'The Batman' erupts onto cinema screens. With Uncharted still #1, the quirky true tale of 'The Duke' arrives at #3 with Jim Broadbent & Helen Mirren, the last film from Roger Michell. James gives it a thumbs up. He's less keen on musical 'Cyrano' at #7 with Peter Dinklage which never feels real. At #10 is 'The Godfather', still fresh after 50 years. James also recommends 'The Justice of Bunny King', a New Zealand drama available to rent on various platforms.

Gadgets & Gizmos: Amazon store closures, portable ski lift & ski tow, hill-climbing car & infinity train
Share Radio's tech whizz Steve Caplin tells Simon Rose why Amazon is closing 68 of its stores. For skiers going off-piste there's an autonomous ski lift on tracks or, more scarily, a portable tow rope with a winch. There's a car that can climb gradients greater than 50%, an infinity electric train at an Australian mine, we hear why planes are being covered with shark skin, about the company contracted to mine oxygen on the moon and a tide clock for surfers.

The Bigger Picture: The political ramifications of the invasion of Ukraine
Political commentator Mike Indian looks at the political ramifications of the Russian invasion of Ukraine eight days in. With Ukrainian resistance greater than anticipated, he feels that – to paraphrase Churchill – this could be at least the end of the beginning for Vladimir Putin. The attack, argues Mike, is reinvigorating NATO but he feels more can be done to tackle Russian dirty money being sheltered in the UK while not indiscriminately targeting those hostile to Putin's actions.

The Bigger Picture: What are Putin's aims in Ukraine, how can the West react & why China matters
In the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University speculates what Putin's aims might be and discusses how the West should react and, indeed, whether it will be able to manage without Russian oil, gas and even wheat. He explains about the coming refugee crisis for Europe and why China matters so much. He concludes with the ultimate question: How can we reboot the Western system to cope with what may prove a new era?

The Business of Film: Dog, Thirteen Minutes & Texas Chainsaw Massacre
With Uncharted still riding high, James Cameron-Wilson reviews last weekend's UK box office. The only big new film is Channing Tatum's directorial debut, Dog, at #4 in which he also stars, oddly marketed as a family film. Resorting to streamed movies, James reviews box-ticking tornado disaster movie Thirteen Minutes with Thora Birch and Anne Heche and Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the 9th in the franchise, which he found a cut above the average modern horror, though not for the faint-hearted.

Share Radio's tech whizz Steve Caplin waxes lyrical to Simon Rose about Netflix's interactive Cat Burglar cartoon. He also discusses Ben Gurion Uni's line-of-sight bugging device that can detect speech from objects like coffee cans and Venetian blinds, Sony's new ear buds that allow you to hear ambient noise, a way of stopping glasses fogging up, some of the bizarre online shopping substitutions, a versatile portable guitar amp and Tesla's odd response to news that cars have been suddenly braking at high speeds.
