Gary Raymond and guests cast a critical eye on the Welsh arts and popular culture scene.

This month Gary is joined by author and critic Rhian E. Jones and writer and performer Gray Taylor to review an eclectic mix of comedy, psychological horror, social history documentary and new Welsh music...via Utah.

The panel explore Censor - the feature film debut from Aberystwyth-born director Prano Bailey Bond. Set in the board of film classification in the 1980s at the peak of the video nasties furore, the thriller puts a compelling twist on the horror genres of the time.

A filmic project of a very different kind is also up for review in the form of La Cha Cha. A rollicking comedy filmed entirely on iPhones during lockdown, La Cha Cha sees the reunion of many of the cast of director Kevin Allen's 1997 cult hit Twin Town, including Rhys Ifans and Dougray Scott.

Gary and guests give their responses to Mothers, Missiles and the American President. This BBC Wales documentary marks the 40th anniversary of the Greenham Common protests through the prism of the remarkable Brinkworth family - three Rhondda sisters who took on the establishment in their fight for a nuclear-free world for their children.

And the panel have also been listening to the latest studio album from The Joy Formidable - Into the Blue. Originally from Mold, the band now resides in Utah and Into the Blue reflects the wide-open spaces and mountain ranges in its sound with the contemplative lyricism inspired by the new perspectives of lockdown.
