Dr. Maria kicks off 2019 with a bang. Her first selection is one that received 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, so it has to be good, right?Summer 1993, the film worthy of such high appraisals, follows the story of a six-year-old fresh who is fresh to the country side, living with her new legal guardians. Safe to say, Maria's pretty impressed.

Noah also spoke to Labour MP Louisa Wall who is currently aiming to do just that, by putting forward a members bill to ammend the Harmful Digital Communications Act.
