MAEDAY, MAEDAY !! Joined by the delightful Darcey Eagle, we’re assessing the final film of Golden Age screen siren Mae West, a sweaty 1978 musical that really should’ve been a Muppet movie. Sextette crams in innuendo, American songbook numbers and celeb cameos (Tony Curtis! Ringo Starr! Keith Moon! Alice Cooper!), all to distract from a baffling lead role in which the 83-year-old West really needs handrails and an earpiece to stay upright and deliver gags.

Despite its clumsiness, Noah, Eliza and Darcey share a soft spot for West’s attempt at a late-career vanity project - and Anthony’s pitch for a horny The Lion King pickup line must be heard to be believed. It’s camp, with a fascinating question of self-awareness - but does it belong in the Slop Bucket? octogenarian erotic moan
