The Business of Film: Ghostbusters Frozen Empire, Immaculate, The Lavender Hill Mob & One Life
James Cameron-Wilson says that #1 Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is the sort of film that makes him sorry he became a film critic, being rushed, full of bloated CGI and an utter waste of time. He found horror film Immaculate at #3, set in an Italian convent, nasty and utterly formulaic. He and Simon celebrate the cinema re-release of Ealing comedy The Lavender Hill Mob while James urges everybody to see Anthony Hopkins in the amazing true-life tale of Nicholas Winton and the Kindertransport, One Life, now out for home viewing.

Gadgets & Gizmos: Brain chips, AI film and song-generation, a stair-climbing vacuum & railways on the moon
Steve Caplin marvels at the success of Elon Musk's Neuralink brain chip, enabling a paralysed man to control a computer. He thinks filmmakers and song writers should be very afraid of AI technology that could make them redundant. He has hopes for an autonomous road repair system designed to stop potholes developing. He feels the investor of a bike lane sweeper hasn't thought things through properly. Northrup Grmman has won a contract to develop a railway on the moon. There's a stair-climbing robot vacuum. And the world's fastest camera has got even faster.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: What does copper's buoyancy mean?
Russ Mould, after explaining why cocoa has recently become more expensive than copper, thinks the buoyancy of "Doctor Copper" could suggest the global economy is in ruder health than many believe. If so, he wonders why central banks are so keen to cut interest rates. And if inflation rises, commodities could return to fashion. He points out that mining stocks have failed to keep pace with commodity prices but emphasises that private investors should always ensure that they are diversified and don't put all their (Easter) eggs in one basket.
