Exit 8, Miroirs No. 3 and video games' influence on movies
Episode 116
Wednesday, 22 April, 2026

We try not to confuse Christian Petzold with his fellow prolific European auteurs François Ozon and Olivier Assayas ahead of our discussion of Miroirs No. 3, Petzold's intriguing new drama about a Berlin pianist (Paula Beer) who gets 'adopted' by a lonely woman after a car crash. We then take a look at Exit 8, a nifty little thriller based on the simple walking video game of the title, in which you must escape the Tokyo metro tunnels using the power of spot the difference. And talking of video games, the team look back at the highs and many lows of video game adaptations over the years and asks what makes for a successful one.
