//543 – Michaela Coel Week! – Mother Mary and The Christophers

Episodes | | 23. April, 2026

This week, David, Katey, and Da7e unite in the War Room to talk about the two movies about art, sorta, that Michaela Coel is currently starring in. First, David and Da7e try to explain director David Lowery’s Mother Mary, where Coel’s fashion designer faces off with Anne Hathaway’s pop star. Then, all three jump in on Steven Soderbergh’s The Christophers with Coel’s art forger facing off with Ian McKellen’s washed up and cancelled genius painter. Good news – we like both!
