Don your graduation caps and gowns and join Oscar and Diggory as they return to University to unpick Hugh Grant's role in The Rewrite (Marc Lawrence, 2014). Your hosts discuss the film's few highs, its ironic and frequent lows and then turn their critical crosshairs toward their own peculiar names:  'Diggory Waite' and 'Oscar Beardmore-Gray'.

Resting on his laurels from his 1999 smash hit melodrama entitled "Paradise Misplaced", Oscar-winning screenwriter and one-hit-Hollywood-wonder, Keith Michaels (played by Hugh Grant), is forced to leave sun-kissed L.A. and teach a screenwriting course in rainy Binghamton, New York. Once there Keith takes a shine to Holly (played by Marisa Tomei), a hard-working single mother and hopeful writer, who seems to see right through him. Can Keith, the unrepentantly egocentric big fish out of water, find a true connection between himself and the small community he now finds himself in?
