#88 The Zone of Interest11 Mar 202400:35:18
Jonathan Glazer's latest film, The Zone of Interest, is a powerful reflection on genocide in 1940s Europe. Combining Kubrick-esque cinematography with documentary-style precision, Glazer's film speaks to the present as a warning, that humans have historically and are presently, complicit in mass genocide. Silence is not an option. It pushes us to think about the weight of history and how it rests on our present - a powerful and solemn contribution to Holocaust study. Check out the latest review.

A Conversation With Gillian Davies (Director)05 Mar 202401:01:30

#85 Poor Things24 Jan 202400:35:37
Yorgos Lanthimos' latest film is an absurdist comment on the zeitgeist. Addressing themes of innocence, patriarchy, sexual liberation, and ideas of being, Poor Things is a surreal black comedy drama examining how all these mesh. It follows the story of Bella Baxter, a woman with a child's mind, and how she navigates the world. It seems like a comment on modernity. Check out the latest review!

#81 Napoleon06 Dec 202300:36:50
Ridley Scott’s latest epic sees Joaquin Phoenix portraying one of the most famous commanders in history. Rooted in showcasing the constructions of power and nationhood endemic in 18th century France, Scott’s Napoleon is a meditative depiction of a man whose power is often shown to be adolescent and pathetic. Yet, it also manages to capture his enduring legacy as a military commander and an architect of French military power.

#80 Raising Arizona22 Nov 202300:32:55
Joel and Ethan Coen's 1987 absurdist film Raising Arizona, is a critique of American culture during Reagan's reign.

Christopher Nolan's latest epic charts the life of Robert Oppenheimer, a pivotal physicist in the development of the atomic bomb. The film poses the question: Is science good for man? It would have been easy for Nolan to film a picture about the glorification of an American victory against Japan, but he doesn't. It's about masculine fetish power, intellectual hubris, and the use of science to develop an industrial-military complex. Check out our review of the latest Nolan epic!

A Conversation With Dean Cross (Senior Screen Content Manager - Vue)19 Jul 202300:52:09

It's conversation time and this weeks guest from the world of cinema is Dean Cross. Dean is the Senior Screen Content Manager at Vue across the UK & Ireland. Marcus paid him a visit at Vue's Shepherd's Bush site in London to engage in a conversation full of film passion and excitement for everything on the big screen.


Recorded on location at the Vue Cinema in Sheppard's Bush, Dean shares with Marcus some really unique insights into what goes into scheduling so many films across a huge selection of screens, what Dean's role involves and the involvement Vue have with the major production companies throughout the filmmaking process. Sat amongst the seating in one of their cinema screens, the location made for the perfect setting to dive into all of these topics.


Once again, this was an amazing peek behind the curtain of the industry we all love so much. If how huge films are made and then put on the screen intrigues you, this is the episode for you. It'll become clear to your right from the beginning how passionate Dean is about film and that passion is something we always love on this podcast.


A big thank you to both Dean and Vue for inviting Marcus along to have this conversation. They were unbelievably welcoming and helpful in facilitating this brilliant episode.
