Hugh Jackman has charm for days in 'The Front Runner' but is the film, about a 30-year-old political scandal, a comment on the current political climate? And what makes a good 'political' movie anyway? Fiona and Nick discuss, and give you some personal recommendations on what to watch at SBS On Demand and in cinemas.

13:45 Eurovision - Australia Decides is coming. But what exactly is it? Eurovision nut Fiona tells all.

15:45 What Have You Been Watching - Fiona: She catches us up on movies from the Screenwave International Film Festival, where she spent a week: Arctic, Backtrack Boys, Happy Sad Man, and O, Brother, Where Art Thou?

18:40 What Have You Been Watching - Nick: It's Oscar season, so he's been catching up, and was astounded by Free Solo, and he's also caught a new comedy from Julia Davis, Sally Forever.
