Ben Schwartz Interview Special: Sonic The Hedgehog
You may not know Ben Schwartz, but you really should. Yes, he voices Sonic in the new Sonic movie, and that's cool and all, but he's also in Parks And Rec (as Jean-Ralphio Saperstein, the guy who loves shouting in people's ears), House Of Lies and CollegeHumor back in the day. He's just a funny, fun, interesting human being and you'll probably have a great time hearing him chat away with Ali. Go on, press play. You won't regret it.

The Lighthouse is the latest film from Robert Eggers (who previously gave us The Witch), so as you might expect, it's dark, it's twisted, it's... funny? It's also really rather weird. In a good way. Speaking to the film's stars, Robert Pattinson and Willem Defoe, Ali discovers what it was actually like to shoot a black and white film about two lighthouse keepers who learn to love/hate/love/hate/hate/hate each other. Also, seagull chat. Of course.
