Last Night in Soho

 Thomasin McKenzie plays Anya Taylor-Joy in the sixties, except she doesn't because it's now, except when it isn't, and there are ghosts, but not really. Which might explain why at least one of the characters is played by Dr. Who. 

 Confused? Screenwriters Edgar Wright and Krysty Wilson-Cairns seem like they were. We do our best to unpick the aesthetically beautiful and creatively hollow 'Last Night In Soho' - with reference to 'Huxley Pig' and 'Goodnight Sweetheart' because we're nothing if not cutting edge round here.

 

SHOW NOTES:

Huxley Pig, the children's show about an anthropomorphic pig and his pet seagull, which shares some plot mechanics with Last Night In Soho but ultimately makes a lot more sense:

Goodnight Sweetheart, a BBC sitcom with a similar premise, in which Nicholas Lyndhurst found a portal to the 1940s and used it to cheat on his wife:

Trailer for "The Limey", a 1999 neo-noir with some related themes. It's far more meditative than the trailer implies:

"Tiptoes," a jaw-dropping fan request that we've elected not to cover because it's already such a punching bag, is dissected pretty well over on Youtube:
