With December chugging ever onwards and January and February just around the corner, what are the awards-worthy films we'll need to pretend we've seen in the new year?

Dan Schreiber Returns! A Trouble Film Production 'Fact Off' Special

December 04, 2022 00:30 - 50 minutes - 46.4 MB

Odds are if you listen to Radio 1's Screen Time - and if you're reading this, there's a decent chance you do - you're aware of the super soaraway podcast success that is No Such Thing As A Fish, where four QI elves get together to throw semi-incredible facts at each other. One of their number is Dan Schreiber, a friend of the show here at Screen Time, and he was kind enough to stop by Radio 1 recently to indulge in a fact-slinging match with Ali about troubled movie productions, inspired in ...

November 18, 2022 14:50 - 20 minutes - 19 MB

Top tip: turn the air con off. Seriously. Now you know.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Interview Special

November 11, 2022 17:08 - 36 minutes - 33.4 MB

A short and sweet conversation with Aimee Lou Wood - of Sex Education fame, sure, but she was in The Electrical Life of Louis Wain, let's not forget, and lots of theatre too - for you this Sunday, as we celebrate her first lead role in a motion picture: Living. A remake of the Japanese classic Ikiru, it stars Bill Nighy as a bureaucrat with a terminal illness, and Aimee as his work colleague that starts to bring him out of his shell. It's a real winner this one, well worth seeking out, as Ai...

Enola Holmes 2 Interviews: Millie Bobby Brown and Henry Cavill

November 04, 2022 16:00 - 31 minutes - 29 MB

The cast for the Enola Holmes movies on Netflix, well, it's a little bit ridiculous. Eleven herself, Millie Bobby Brown, might have been enough, but you've also got Henry Cavill (as Sherlock, no less), Helena Bonham Carter, David Thewlis and Sam Claflin (in the first film, at least). Speaking from New York last week - just after that big Superman news dropped - both Millie and Henry were on great form, getting very geeky about reality TV shows and fantasy novels. Wonder if you can guess who ...

Ali's Film Club: Spider-Man 2 - With Jordan Gray

September 24, 2022 23:30 - 53 minutes - 48.6 MB

It may have come out in 2004, but Sam Raimi's second Spider-outing with Tobey Maguire remains one of the very best superhero films ever made, and with Spider-Man: No Way Home being a year old soon enough - as well as reappearing in some cinemas with bonus scenes - now felt like a good time to take a trip to Ali Plumb's Film Club to talk about the movie in spoilerific detail. Joining him for a trip down web-slinging memory lane is comedy rising star Jordan Gray, who's recently been taking Edi...

George Clooney and Julia Roberts - Ticket To Paradise Interview Special

September 23, 2022 16:09 - 26 minutes - 23.8 MB

An actual, genuine, totally real romantic comedy motion picture is in cinemas right now and its name is Ticket To Paradise. It feels like it's been a while, and frankly, for fans of the genre, the return of all that 'Will they, won't they?' is just wonderful to see. The fact that both George Clooney and Julia Roberts are in it is the icing on the cake, two absurdly charming human beings slumming it with our Ali as they talk about shooting in Australia, 'Bat-nipples' (you'll see) and why Ocea...

September 17, 2022 23:30 - 39 minutes - 36.2 MB

Directed and written by the one and only Tony Gilroy, it looks to be a somewhat more 'grown up' adventure in a galaxy far, far away, and talking all about that on this particular Screen Time interview special we have Mr. Gilroy himself, as well as our lead, Diego Luna, plus...

News Round-Up Plus Clerks III Interviews

September 16, 2022 14:45 - 53 minutes - 48.8 MB

There's been an absolute tonne of movie and TV news lately, so much so that Ali got back into a room - face to face, can you imagine it?! - with good ol' Ace to talk it all through. Fair warning: there is an absolute avalanche of information coming your way about Marvel releases, Rick And Morty and maybe even a bit of Knives Out 2. Elsewhere, we've got interviews with the folk behind Clerks 3 - namely Kevin Smith, Brian O'Halloran, Jeff Anderson and Jason Mewes, so there's a whole tonne of f...

Better Call Saul Spoiler Special - Featuring Matt Edmondson

September 12, 2022 17:05 - 49 minutes - 45.2 MB

Typically, Radio 1's Screen Time spoiler specials talk about finales, or at a stretch, final seasons (or series!) of shows. But... when it comes to Better Call Saul, Ali and Matt - a fellow superfan - decided to try to tackle the whole goshdarn lot. Yes, there's an emphasis on the most recent episodes, but they hop, skip and jump around the whole Breaking Bad Universe (is that a thing? Let's say it is) so consider the spoiler siren thoroughly sounded.

See How They Run Interview Special - Saoirse Ronan and Sam Rockwell

September 12, 2022 17:00 - 24 minutes - 22.1 MB

Prey Spoiler Special - With Director Dan Trachtenberg!

September 03, 2022 23:00 - 50 minutes - 46 MB

If you've not seen the latest in the Predator franchise, we highly recommend watching Prey - on Disney+ in the UK, Hulu in the US - before you listen to this particular Radio 1's Screen Time spoiler special, where Ali gets to speak to the director of the film itself, one Dan Trachtenberg (10 Cloverfield Lane, The Boys), dissecting the movie in spoilerific detail with the man who actually made those spoilerific decisions. Things get geeky quickly - in the best possible way - with such topics...

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Interview Special

September 02, 2022 16:22 - 30 minutes - 28.2 MB

Good news, Lord Of The Rings fans! The Rings Of Power is / are finally here, with Amazon Prime Video's megabudget adaptation of the events of the Second Age of Middle-earth now streaming - well, the first episodes, anyway.

Ali's Film Club: The Godfather (With Dan Murrell!)

August 27, 2022 23:30 - 43 minutes - 39.6 MB

It's been a little while since we last met up for Ali Plumb's Film Club, but boy are we back with a bang this week as Ali teams up with fellow online film aficionado Dan Murrell (of Honest Trailers and Schmoedown fame) to talk about The Godfather. Yeah, we're not messing around, no sir. As ever, spoiler alert for anyone who hasn't had the pleasure of watching Francis Ford Coppola's classic, but if you just want to hear two movie geeks shooting the breeze, there's also a good few minutes of t...

But wait, there's more! Games Of Thrones, Fast And The Furious and Maze Runner veteran Nathalie Emmanuel also has a quick chat with Ali about her new horror thriller The Invitation, because a...

House Of The Dragon Interview Special Featuring Matt Smith And Paddy Considine

August 20, 2022 23:30 - 27 minutes - 24.9 MB

Game Of Thrones is back on Sky Atlantic / Now. Okay, okay, it's back in prequel form (just to be clear), and with it come such names as Matt Smith, Paddy Considine, Olivia Cooke, Emma D'Arcy, Emily Carey and many more. Speaking to everyone they'd let him shove a microphone in front of, Ali tries to avoid spoilers - as ever - when talking about a show that begs to be spoiled in almost every way. Sure, it's set 200 years before the events of the original Game Of Thrones and we kinda know what ...

Tatiana Maslany is the Emmy-winning actress who is perhaps best known for her work as numerous clones in the excellent sci-fi series Orphan Black - but now, it's safe to say - her portrayal of Disney+'s latest Marvel hero She-Hulk (aka Jennifer Walters) will propel her to even higher heights. Joining her on this She-Hulk Screen Time interview special are her director, Kat Coiro, and the writer-creator behind it all, Jessica Gao, one of whom happens to have written one of the best Ricky & Mor...

Batgirl Cancellation Reaction Plus Nope Interview With Jordan Peele

August 12, 2022 14:00 - 43 minutes - 40.1 MB

Nope is, at long last, finally in UK cinemas after already being released in the US and elsewhere three or so weeks ago. On any other Friday, that would be the biggest news going but after the shocking revelation that the Discovery and Warners merger has resulted in a 90% complete film, Batgirl, being thrown in the bin, Ace and Ali had to get together to discuss that that first. So! It's a podcast of two parts: Batgirl first, then a brief Nope chat that leads into an interview with the incre...
