Meanwhile new movie, She Said, follows the story of the journalists who broke the story that set off the #MeToo movement, and brought down one of Hollywood’s most powerful producers. Actress Carey Mulligan tells Backstage a bit about how her industry has changed since then.

Just to warn you, in our She Said review, we will be discussing sexual assault. The review is from 15:20 to 27:54 – if you’d rather listen to something else, feel free to skip through this bit.

Elsewhere, The Addams family return, with daughter Wednesday leading her own series on Netflix. Find out how star Jenna Ortega felt about working with previous Wednesday, Christina Ricci, on the show.
