We have a special one this week, we’re discussing The Phantom Of The Open (2022) and were very lucky to chat to the director, Craig Roberts. The film stars Mark Rylance, Sally Hawkins and Rhys Ifans.


It’s based on a true story about Maurice Flitcroft, a dreamer and unrelenting optimist, who managed to gain entry to The British Open Golf Championship. Qualifying in 1976, Maurice subsequently shot the worst round in Open history, becoming a folk hero in the process.In this episode, we chat about adapting a biographical script and bouncing back from failure, both in the personal and professional realms.


The Phantom Of The Open is currently available to watch in UK cinemas.


Next week we are throwing it back to the early noughties and are having a look at Save The Last Dance (2001). We’re also going to be joined by soundtrack producer Mitchell Leib, to discuss the role of music in films. Save The Last Dance is available to watch on Netflix.

This week, we are so excited to be talking about Maggie Gyllenhaal’s directorial debut - The Lost Daughter (2021). We are joined by two of the incredible producers of the film, Osnat Handelsman-Keren and Talia Kleinhendler.


The Lost Daughter stars Olivia Colman and Jessie Buckley who both play Leda at different stages of her life. A middle-aged Leda arrives for a quiet holiday on a Greek island, but things take a menacing turn when she encounters a family whose brash presence proves unsettling, at times even threatening. When a seemingly meaningless event occurs, Leda is overwhelmed by memories of the difficult, unconventional choices she made as a mother and their consequences for herself and her family.


In this episode, we discuss the lack representations of difficult motherhood and the need for more female decision-makers in film.


The Lost Daughter is currently available to stream on Netflix.


Next week we are dipping our toes into the DC Universe to talk about The Batman (2022), starring Robert Pattinson, Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano and Andy Serkis. The Batman is currently available to watch in UK cinemas.

We’ve got a juicy one for you this week! We’re diving further into Sean Baker’s repertoire, looking at his latest film Red Rocket (2021).


Red Rocket stars Simon Rex as washed up porn star, Mikey Saber, who returns to his hometown in Texas City. He twists the arm of his ex-lover, who is technically still his wife, in order to stay with her until he can get his life back on track. As chaos ensues, Mikey meets seventeen year-old Strawberry, who he believes could be the next big thing in the world of adult entertainment, and incidentally his ticket to success.


We’re incredibly excited to be chatting with Simon Rex, who just won Best Male Lead at the Independent Spirit Awards for his performance in the film! We discuss how he approached a character with such questionable morals, as well as his feelings of imposter syndrome despite being an actor in the industry for three decades.


Red Rocket is currently available to watch in UK cinemas.


Next week, we’ll be looking at Maggie Gyllenhaal’s directorial debut, The Lost Daughter, starring Olivia Colman, Jessie Buckley and Dakota Johnson. The Lost Daughter is available to stream on Netflix (UK).
