| A Life In Movies: James Woods | 09 Feb 2026 | 01:31:01 | |
On the latest episode of A Life In Movies, the movie interview podcast by All The Right Movies, we're talking to legendary actor James Woods. With a career spanning five decades, James has built a reputation as one of cinema's most compelling performers. An actor drawn to morally complex characters and unafraid to inhabit the darkest corners of human nature. A two-time Academy Award nominee with multiple Emmy wins to his name, his filmography reads like a masterclass in intensity. Speaking to us from Los Angeles, James takes us through the key moments that shaped his remarkable career. From his early days studying Political Science at MIT before the pull of acting proved too strong, to his film debut working with the legendary Elia Kazan. We dive deep into five landmark films: David Cronenberg's prophetic body-horror Videodrome, Sergio Leone's epic Once Upon a Time in America opposite Robert De Niro, Oliver Stone's raw and urgent Salvador (which earned him his first Oscar nomination), the action-comedy The Hard Way with Michael J. Fox, and Martin Scorsese's Casino where he brought the slippery Lester Diamond to unforgettable life. James also shares insights into his approach to those morally ambiguous characters that have become his trademark, his acclaimed television work, the compelling story behind his Executive Producer credit on Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer and his most recent artistic endeavour in music. A fascinating conversation with one of American cinema's most distinctive talents.

| 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) | The Cutting Room | 31 Oct 2023 | 00:56:57 | |
Every spaceship, every space station, every convincing bit of weightlessness in cinema owes something to a film made before the technology to do any of it really existed. Stanley Kubrick simply invented what he needed. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), co-written with Arthur C. Clarke, gave us HAL 9000, the most famous match cut in film history, effects that still hold up half a century on, and an ending nobody has fully agreed on since. Kubrick had the models destroyed so no one could cheapen them in a sequel. John, Westy and Matt tackle the direction, the ideas and the sheer audacity of it, then land their scores out of 10. Make of the ending what you will.

| The Truman Show (1998) | The Cutting Room | 06 Oct 2023 | 00:45:24 | |
Imagine learning that your entire life, every friend, every sunrise, every ordinary day at work, has been a television show beamed to millions. One man is about to, and he has no clue the cameras are rolling. Peter Weir's eerily prophetic satire The Truman Show (1998), written by Andrew Niccol, gives Jim Carrey one of his great dramatic turns, with Ed Harris, Laura Linney and Noah Emmerich around him. How accurately it predicted reality TV and surveillance culture, the psychological condition it inspired, the direction and the high-concept script are all on the table. Luke, Westy and Matt weigh in with a highlight each and three scores out of 10. In case we don't see you, does it earn top marks?
