Sam talks to writer-director Joachim Trier about his awards-nominated new film, The Worst Person In The World.
A wistful and subversive romantic drama about the quest for love and meaning in contemporary Oslo. It revolves around Julie, a vibrant and impulsive young woman who, on the verge of turning thirty, is faced with a series of choices that force her to continually reinvent and pursue new perspectives on her life. Over the course of several years, Julie navigates multiple love affairs, existential uncertainty and career dissatisfaction as she slowly starts to decide what she wants to do, who she wants to be with, and ultimately who she wants to become.
This life-affirming coming of age story deservedly won Reinsve the Best Actress award at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival and is nominated for two Academy Awards including Original Screenplay and International Feature Film, as well as two BAFTA awards including Leading Actress and Film Not in the English Language.

Sam Clements talks to director Craig Roberts (Just Jim) about his new film, The Phantom Of The Open.
At the age of 46, happy-go-lucky crane operator and family man Maurice Flitcroft (Mark Rylance) feels it’s time to try his hand at something new.
With the enduring support of his loving wife (Sally Hawkins) and sons, Maurice gets hold of a set of clubs and decides golf is his new calling. The budding sportsman sets his sights on mastering the game – and somehow stumbles into a coveted spot in the qualifying round of the 1976 British Open. There’s only one problem: he’s never played a round in his life.
Based on a remarkable true story, The Phantom Of The Open is the laugh-out-loud, effortlessly charming story of an underdog’s piece of British sporting history.

This episode is about the cinematic incarnations of Batman and DOES include spoilers for The Batman. A spoiler warning will come up before we get too deep into the plot, a little later in the episode, but if you’d like to go into the film fresh maybe save this for the way home from the cinema :)

Special episode hosted by Felicity Beckett to celebrate the release of The Duke, in cinemas now. Felicity is first joined by actor Jim Broadbent and then followed by the writers of the film, Richard Bean and Clive Coleman.
In 1961, Kempton Bunton, a 60-year old taxi driver, stole Goya’s portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London. It was the first (and remains the only) theft in the Gallery’s history. Kempton sent ransom notes saying that he would return the painting on condition that the government invested more in care for the elderly - he had long campaigned for pensioners to receive free television. What happened next became the stuff of legend.
Only 50 years later did the full story emerge - Kempton had spun a web of lies. The only truth was that he was a good man, determined to change the world and save his marriage - how and why he used the Duke to achieve that is a wonderfully uplifting tale.

Sam Clements talks to director Michael Cumming (Toast Of Tinseltown, King Rocker, Brass Eye) about his film Oxide Ghosts: The Brass Eye Tapes, which is currently on tour across Picturehouse Cinemas (and a few others!) in February - April 2022.
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Brass Eye, a rare opportunity to see this cult film, which will only ever be screened at these live events.
Made from hundreds of hours of unseen and behind the scenes footage from his personal archive, Michael Cumming’s film shares insights into the process of making the legendary TV series Brass Eye. Michael directed the series and both pilots and, over a two-year period, witnessed the highs and lows from a very personal perspective. Oxide Ghosts carries the blessing of Chris Morris and provides a unique glimpse of his extraordinary working practices.
