Baz Luhrmann is the visionary, legendary, incomparable director behind Strictly Ballroom, Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge!, Australia, The Great Gatsby and this year's Elvis, starring Austin Butler and Tom Hanks. Ali was lucky enough to talk to Baz face to face for a good half hour, touching on everything from 'Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)' to his favourite shots in his own films. So if you love films - and let's be honest, it's a pretty safe bet you do if you're reading this - don't th...

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...

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

After years and years of nodunnits - Does that work?

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. As a LOTR fan who has even travelled to New Zealand to 'climb Mount Doom' (aka 'walk the Tongariro Crossing'), Ali was ready and able and very much willing to speak to some of the cast of this new Hobbity adventure, including our new Galadriel (Morfydd Clark) and our new E...

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 ...

She-Hulk Interview Special Featuring Tatiana Maslany

August 19, 2022 15:30 - 37 minutes - 34.8 MB

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...

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...

August 07, 2022 03:30 - 15 minutes - 14.5 MB

Thirteen Lives is the latest from Ron Howard - our legendary guest on this particular Screen Time episode - a movie that tells the tale of the 2018 Tham Luang cave rescue, with Viggo Mortensen and Colin Farrell as British cave divers Richard Stanton and John Volanthen respectively. Look forward to listening to Howard remark upon Ali's much-loved Rush t-shirt, as well as underlining just how tricky it is to recreate and shoot complicated cave dives, especially when the actors themselves want ...

Stranger Things Season 4 Spoiler Special Featuring Louise Blain

July 02, 2022 23:30 - 13 minutes - 12.6 MB

Chris Hemsworth is always a good laugh, but things can get a little tricky when you haven't seen the film, the trailer, the poster... Pretty much anything to do with the film you're meant to be talking about. So please enjoy this "interviewing on hard mode" chat between Ali and Chris, ostensibly about Thor Love And Thunder, but... Well, you'll see.

Jeff Goldblum: Movies That Made Me

July 01, 2022 14:20 - 26 minutes - 24.5 MB

That Ali Plumb guy is off on holiday so it's fine to delve into the archives and dust off a classic.

The Black Phone interview special - Ethan Hawke and Scott Derrickson

June 24, 2022 23:30 - 28 minutes - 26.5 MB

Big Boys Interview Special - Jack Rooke and Jon Pointing

June 18, 2022 23:30 - 50 minutes - 46.3 MB

Ali recently watched comedy-drama Big Boys on Channel 4 and found himself thinking "How can I get more people to watch Big Boys so I can talk to more people about Big Boys?" Yes, the name is a play on 'Big boys don't cry', so you're right to expect a show that tackles grief and depression, as well as coming out, finding yourself at uni, making friends and surviving university generally. If you've not seen it, see it, but maybe before you do, listen to a bit of this podcast special dedicated ...

Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness Spoiler Special

June 17, 2022 14:00 - 43 minutes - 39.5 MB

Here we go, just under the wire, just in the nick of time, Ace and I catch up - face to face, let's not forget! - to talk about Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness, aka Doctor Strange 2, as it starts to leave cinemas (just about).

Becoming... Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader

May 28, 2022 23:30 - 23 minutes - 21.1 MB

After all these years, it feels like an absolute miracle to see Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen "teaming up" - so to speak - once again as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader, but that's just what's happening, and we're not sure Ali can fully wrap his head around it. In this first-of-its-kind double-header 'Becoming...' interview, the pair dig deep on the prequels and geek out massively. They also discover an unfortunate issue with Ali's t-shirt, enjoy a tonne of fan-made merchandise and quo...

So here it is, the extra-long bumper edition of the Becoming... Doctor Strange Benedict Cumberbatch interview you've no doubt already watched 14 million (or so) times on BBC iPlayer, now in audio form, with extra-added waffle from Ali at the front and back.

April 29, 2022 14:00 - 56 minutes - 52 MB

If you haven't seen The Suicide Squad TV spin-off Peacemaker, it's probably a good idea to watch it before you press play on this particular episode of Radio 1's Screen Time, what with it featuring a mini-spoiler special discussion of the show with Clarisse Loughrey as well as a lovely conversation with is break-out star, Freddie Stroma, who plays the incredible Vigilante a.k.a.

Anya Taylor-Joy Interview Special: The Story So Far

April 23, 2022 23:30 - 19 minutes - 17.8 MB

If you don't know Anya Taylor-Joy yet, chances are you just haven't gotten round to watching Split, Glass, Emma, Queen's Gambit, The Witch, Last Night In Soho, Thoroughbreds or her latest, Robert Eggers's Viking revenge epic The Northman, just yet. When you see ATJ - as no-one calls her - on screen you just know she's going to be HUGE. Perhaps her role in the upcoming Mad Max spin-off prequel Furiosa will be the one? Or the Super Mario Bros. movie? Or will it be The Northman itself? Only tim...
