Kaitlyn Dever and Will Poulter Interview Special: Dopesick Nov 14, 2021

Show notes

Kaitlyn Dever and Will Poulter star in the Disney+ show Dopesick - which is about the opioid crisis and not all that, well, fun. It's good! But it ain't all that chucklesome. The thing is, these two are just a joy to talk to, so somehow Ali tried to find a balance between the nitty gritty and the 'Can talk about Booksmart?' side of things. See if he manages it by pressing play... Now.

Movie News and Home Sweet Home Alone Nov 12, 2021

Show notes

It's been a while but it's time for another movie and TV news round up from Ali, touching on everything from what Leo is up to next to what on earth is going on with Black Panther 2. Plus! As a Christmassy bonus, a chat with the stars of Home Sweet Home Alone, Aisling Bea and Rob Delaney. Happy month before Christmas folks!

Eternals Interview Special Nov 07, 2021

Show notes

Eternals is the latest film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe - the 26th, no less - and it's a BIG ONE. We're talking thousands of years passing, the creation of worlds, the destruction of worlds, Angelina Jolie as an elite warrior who can form any weapon out of cosmic energy... There's a huge amount at stake with this one! And a killer cast, including Kit Harington and Gemma Chan, both of which you'll hear from today, as well as our Oscar-winning director Chloé Zhao, not forgetting Don Lee and Ms. Jolie herself.

In Cinemas Now: Review Special Nov 05, 2021

Show notes

There are so many films to watch in UK cinemas right now: Dune, No Time To Die, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, The French Dispatch, The Many Saints Of Newark, Last Night In Soho, Eternals, Spencer... the list goes on and on. On this review special, friend of the podcast and all-round hero Clarisse Loughrey stops by to help Ali try to tackle as many of them as possible. Look forward to waffly summaries and graceless spoiler avoidance, as we so often like to do around these parts.

Last Night In Soho Interview Special Oct 30, 2021

Show notes

Edgar Wright is back with Last Night in Soho, a psychological horror time-travelling thriller drama - our term - teaming up with friend of the podcast Krysty Wilson-Cairns on writing duties. Both are here to tell you all about how they turned the clock back in central London, as are two of the stars, the wonderful Anya Taylor-Joy and Matt Smith. This is a tricky film to talk about without giving too much away, so wish us all luck...

Ali's Film Club: Scream Oct 29, 2021

Show notes

It's Halloween! Or, perhaps, by the time you read this... it was Halloween! So that explains why friend of the podcast and die-hard Scream aficionado Louise Blain stops by for a special 'Ali Plumb's Film Club' all about the original Scream, 26 years after it first hit cinemas. Expect discussions and descriptions of a variety of unpleasant Screamy activities - in a fun way! But also in a "just so you know" way, just so you know.

Rebecca Ferguson Interview Special: Dune Oct 23, 2021

Show notes

Dune is finally in cinemas and that is a very, very, very big deal indeed. Here's the wonderful and ever-charming Rebecca Ferguson (Lady Jessica in the film) to talk all about it - more or less - with Ali, as you, dear listener, specifically requested. Oh, and as well as talking Dune, there's also some chat about getting on the tube with Tom Cruise, her favourite family games to play and much, much more. Also! If you're keen on more Dune in your life, check out the Denis interview on BBC iPlayer.

Succession Interview Special Oct 22, 2021

Show notes

Succession series 3 - or should we say 'season 3', as it's a US show, even if it's written by a mainly British writing staff? Anyway... - is finally here in the UK on Sky / Now and Ali is very excited about that indeed. Here he is, geeking out about one of his favourite TV shows on air today with three of its stars: Sarak Snook, Brian Cox and Matthew Macfadyen. Warning - and this is a BIG WARNING - these conversations contain plenty of strong language, just like the show itself. Also, spoilers for series / seasons 1 and 2. Now you know!

Jamie Lee Curtis Interview Special: Halloween Kills Oct 15, 2021

Show notes

Halloween Kills is the twelfth installment in the Halloween franchise. That's right, twelfth. It's only the sixth - we think - to include the legend that is Jamie Lee Curtis, and it's also the follow-up to 2018's Halloween, the box office winner that reset the timeline and ignored the previous sequels. On this particular interview special, you'll hear from the queen of scream queens as she explains just how unglamorous it is to shoot a low-budget horror and what she has/had planned for the Halloween Kills red carpet...

Tom Hardy Interview Special: Becoming...Venom Oct 15, 2021

Show notes

Venom: Let There Be Carnage is finally in UK cinemas - two weeks after it first dropped over in the US - so now feels like the perfect time to unveil our 'Becoming... Venom' interview with Tom Hardy. Ali and Tom dig deep on what makes the character(s) tick, touching on the voice, the look, the attitude, the everything. It also contains some terrible Venom impressions from Ali, for which he can only apologise.
