Sorry, but Rachel Weisz is way too hot for her role in Vladimir Justice for real middle-aged bodies.

"Are we really meant to believe that Rachel Weisz is the perfect picture of middle-aged frumpy, sagging irrelevance?"

Great Vladimir piece from former #WeiszCity guest @megwalters.bsky.social

My time to shine 😄

We're briefly back next Monday for our final House of Tucci bonus - getting back around to Julie & Julia!

Expect talk of Best Supporting Husband, Stanley Tucci and a few morsels of a tease towards next season.

‘There is supposed to be an esprit de corps between artistic colleagues.’
I’m sure Paul Dano agrees.

Now Watching #Vladimir - first time back to #WeiszCity in some time!
