Keeping an eye on Modern Times in the pool. Interested to see what people would put alongside it in the six.

Tadhg, that is a good way of choosing. I tend to match the pick to the evening as well.

Modern Times is one I am weighing up. This would be a good change of pace from the things currently at the top of my list.

Aisling, fair point. There is room for something a bit different in the next six.

For anyone considering Modern Times: A little more variety in the shortlist is always welcome. Glad this is in the pool.
