"Starve Acre" had its world premiere at the BFI London Film Festival on October 12th, 2023, where it received positive reviews for its performances from Morfydd Clark ("Saint Maud") and Matt Smith ("House Of The Dragon"), suspenseful and moody direction from Daniel Kokotajlo, and his writing on grief. Clark was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about her work on the film, which you can listen to below.

"Deadpool & Wolverine" is one of 2024's most anticipated films. Arriving at a time when the MCU so desperately needs a shot in its arm, the third "Deadpool" film brings Hugh Jackman's Wolverine back from the dead after his Oscar-nominated send-off in 2017's "Logan" to combat a new threat, but not before they tear and claw into each other first. Executive Producer Wendy Jacobson and Marvel Studios President and Producer Kevin Feige were kind enough to lend me a few minutes to speak with me about the film following a preview I saw of the film's first act. Please be sure to check out the film, which is opening this weekend in theaters on July 26th from Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.

"Young Woman And The Sea" was released in theaters for a limited theatrical run earlier this year and is now widely available to be streamed on Disney+. Scoring some of the highest test scores in the studio's history, the inspirational true story of Gertrude "Trudy" Ederle is backed by a rousing, gorgeous score by English composer Amelia Warner. A few days after watching the film in theaters and being so captivated by the score, I tracked down Warner to speak with her about what I consider to be one of the year's best film scores. She was very gracious with her time, diving into her inspirations, working with producer Jerry Bruckheimer, her opinions on the current landscape of film scoring, and more. Please be sure to check out the film, too, which is now available to stream on Disney+.
