On this week's episode, Viva editor Amanda Linnell is joined by Viva deputy editor Johanna Thornton and commercial editor Emma Gleason. They discuss the zesty new At Home issue of Viva and what people should be looking for in apartment living, before diving in to the International Film Festival and their top choices - plus, find out how you can find a double pass to Triangle of Sadness!

Later, they discuss their disdain for the new Netflix Jane Austen adaptation, Persuasion, and explore their favourite on-screen period dramas. And top recommendations this week include some delicious winter treats and a debate over a pricey coat.
