Radio 1's Screen Time

So there's this monster, right, called Godzilla. And then there's this other monster, right, called Kong. One's an atomic lizard-type-thing, the other's a giant ape. And in this movie, yeah, well, they fight. Like really fight. That's probably all you need to know before you watch it, but just in case here's some of the cast (Alexander Skarsgård, Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, Julian Dennison) and the director (Adam Wingard) to explain more in very entertaining detail.

It's a Friday edition of Radio 1's Screen Time, but not as we know it: yes, it's a super secret sushy spoiler special in honour of Disney+'s WandaVision, as requested by so many, many, many of you fine folk. As you may have guessed, if you haven't seen the show, maybe give this particular episode a miss and check out one of our recent interview specials, but if you're up to date, then press play and regret nothing.

Eddie Izzard stars in World War II spy-thriller-drama Six Minutes To Midnight, as well as co-writing it (no big deal). Legend of stand-up, unstoppable marathoner and self-confessed history buff, Izzard is on fine form here, despite seemingly not realising how much of a nerdy Eddie fan Ali is. Seriously, it's a wonder he didn't explode with excitement.

Tom And Jerry return in - would you believe it - Tom And Jerry, bringing along with them the likes of Chloe Grace Moretz, Michael Pena and Ken Jeong. All three speak to Ali for this interview special, as well as director Tim Story, though we were unable to get either Tom or Jerry to talk to us for this podcast, though let it be known that we tried.

One Nicholas Grimshaw esquire joins Radio 1's Screen Time this week to talk about his favourite film ever, Bridesmaids - a film he loves so much he's even got a tattoo of it. Yep. No kidding. Plus, Henry Lloyd-Hughes drops by to talk about The Irregulars, the new Netflix Sherlocky show where our Henry plays - you guessed it - Holmes himself.

If you're an animation fan in any way, you'll be delighted to discover that the producer of Soul, Dana Murray, and the director of Soul, Pete Docter, are back for a return visit to Radio 1's Screen Time. Look forward to a semi-spoilery conversation about Graham Norton's voice acting superpowers, the big third act plot move and Pixar's ever-expanding back catalogue of Easter Eggs.

In this super-sized Friday edition of Radio 1's Screen Time podcast, you'll hear interviews with both the director and writer behind the new Disney+ Marvel TV series Falcon And The Winter Soldier, as well as Zack Snyder, the man behind, um, Zack Snyder's Justice League. No big deal. That's all in addition to a great Ali Plumb's Film Club with friend of the podcast Josh Horowitz where we talk about Fight Club, a film that's honestly really quite hard to talk about (without breaking the rules, that is).

Cherry is the latest from AppleTV+ and, well, the directors behind the biggest film of all time - that's Avengers: Endgame, by the way - Joe and Anthony Russo, giving The Artist Also Known As Spider-Man (aka Tom Holland) the opportunity to really stretch his acting muscles alongside the equally excellent Ciara Bravo in this drug addiction, bank robbery, army veteran drama based on the semi-autobiographical book of the same name. And by the way, please do get in touch if you can find a longer sentence in a podcast description. Ahem.

Denzel Washington, Rami Malek, Jared Leto. Three big names - three Oscar winners, no less - spoke to Ali recently to talk about their new movie, The Little Things, a '90s-set serial killer thriller directed and written by John Lee Hancock (who also appears on the podcast, to be clear).

A mega-bonus-bumper Friday podcast for you this week, with a brief news section but an extra-long Ali Plumb's Film Club in honour of Easy A, one of the very best teen films the 21st century has to offer. Thanks again to friend of the podcast Lucy Ford for stopping by to talk about her love of Stanley Tucci and Emma Stone - and to Adam Brody, our bonus podcast interview which you can find towards the end of the episode, where he talks about his upcoming movie The Kid Detective. Told you it was a big one!
