Former presenter of Front Row, Radio 4's arts review show (but not a [flagship film programme](Flagship_film_programme), obviously). Lawson appeared on [Wittertainment](Wittertainment) after he had wound [Russell Crowe](Russell_Crowe) up by asking him if his Irish-sounding accent for Nottinghamshire-set Robin Hood was deliberate - putting Crowe into such a bad mood that when [Mark](Mark_Kermode) and [Simon](Simon_Mayo) interviewed him, he called Mark "you absolute EXPLETIVE DELETED".
Lawson also upset Mark by persisting in believing that the Good Doctor's second-[favourite film](Mark_Kermode's_All_Time_Top_10_Best_Films_Evs) (after [The Exorcist](The_Exorcist), obvs) is [Howard The Duck](Howard_The_Duck).
During the [12 means 12](12_means_12) controversy surrounding [The Dark Knight](The_Dark_Knight), the two Marks were on opposite sides - Lawson [putting the case that the certification was too soft](https://web.archive.org/web/20220808072808/https://www.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2008/jul/31/isthedarkknightsuitablefo) in the [Guardian](Guardian).
Lawson pointed out that Mark often comes out of screenings and thinks everybody in the film needs to be slapped. Which was exactly what happened after seeing Two Lovers.
