What is the optimal star threshold to use as a proxy for a good experience? How prevalent are false reviews? And what are the pitfalls of using booking.com? </p><p><br></p><p>Then we get into our core postulative segment about film and tv clichés (16:13). Neil kicks off with a historical deep-dive on the French origins of the word and we discuss some of the current trends becoming clichés such as multiverse storylines and the tech-bro-villain. We then postulate on some of the best and worst character tropes around (28:45). We touch upon everything from 'Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass' to the 'Eeyore' and even throw in some grumpy Clint Eastwood impersonations. </p><p><br></p><p>As ever, we want to hear from our listeners!
