Happy New Year! We're back with an amazing first episode of 2024 as the BAFTA and Oscar winning duo of Tom and Ross join Alex to discuss what it's actually like picking up an Academy Award as well as discussing their latest film 'The Golden West'. They also take us all on an incredible trip, as we talk the terror of found footage horror Paranormal Activity, the brilliance of Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and how Will Smith makes you weepy in The Pursuit of Happyness. Appropriately enough there's some bickering about whether Step Brothers is funny or not and whether Ross' unpopular opinion about Finding Nemo should be accepted at all! They also screen a wonderfully, sentimental pair of films to end their journey!

Joining Alex this week is the wonderful actor Nathan Stewart-Jarrett who can currently be seen alongside Gemma Arterton in the Disney+ crime drama Culprits and alongside George MacKay in the gripping new thriller Femme, out in cinemas now, that they just won Best Joint Lead Performance for at the BIFA's. Nathan then takes us on an incredible trip, talking about landing his role in the Candyman remake, why watching the excellent horror Hereditary is a wonderful memory and why watching the live-action remake of Cinderella is not. He talks his love affair (and a cheeky game he plays) with James Cameron's epic Titanic, and the Haley Joel Osment performance that gets him choked up. Also, the weird reason he doesn't get on with the much-loved sci-fi Arrival. All that, before he screens for us a seminal 60s horror classic.
Nathan's new film 'Femme' is in UK cinemas now.
