We park and bark spoilers at you in this highbrow episode where Christopher gives his review and scores for Jonah Hill's 'Stutz' and Jeffrey does all of the research before spilling his thoughts on Lana Del Rey's 2012 debut album 'Born to Die'.

Welcome welcome and roll up, roll up - it’s a very high brow edition of the cultural something something podcast this week. A film about therapy and the therapeutic concepts of the renowned Dr. Phil Stutz and a look at the debut album by the most controversial and singular artist of the last decade, Lana del Rey. We have a thirty second game introducing you to how the show works in a very straightforward manner, we have guesses of each other's scores, we have our actual scores and we have our pitches for next week too. Let's critique culture and chat about it and have fun! We look forward to your emails at [email protected] to discuss and debate these topics!!

Please go and enjoy "Born To Die" by Lana Del Rey. All the usual places. The streaming services (*sigh*) or an old fashioned record shop, who knows. Order a physical copy online, be that person. Check out the singular videos for all the singles on YouTube, that's a cool option! Hey, go and double-check if your high street might still have a HMV! In terms of her new album, please direct yourself to her official store for every variety of "bundle" purchase conceivable: https://shop.lanadelrey.polydor.co.uk/
