Movies with Rhianna

Andrew Garfield returns to Radio 1's Screen Time just days after his first appearance, sitting down with Ali face to face for an in-person Movies That Made Me that promises to delight and enthrall. He's a charmer, he really is. The pair talk about everything from The Social Network to Tick, Tick... Boom and back again, not forgetting his appearances in the Spider-Man movies and more than a few other highlights along the way.

It seems like forever ago that Robert Battinson - sorry, Pattinson, these things happen - was announced as our new Caped Crusader. And now, years later, at long last, R-Batz is here. On this special 'Becoming...' interview, The Artist Formerly Known As Edward Cullen talked to Ali about how he got the gig in the first place, putting on the suit for the first time and what he got told off for on set. Repeatedly. You'll see...

Peaky Blinders is back on BBC One for its sixth and final season, and what a pleasure it was to speak to the star of the much-loved, critically acclaimed gangster drama, one Cillian Murphy. Ali chatted to Tommy Shelby himself back in December - just before he started the whole Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer process - touching on how he got the role in the first place, how to tackle the accent, the look, the walk, as well as what the whole decade-long experience means to him.

A Friday episode of three parts this week: an intro from Ali, flagging up what's in cinemas, what interviews we have to look forward to and certain comfort food films we might want to check out. Then there's a news section, featuring friends of the show Jake Hamilton and Ash Crossan chatting about what's what in the world of movies and TV, including recent Oscars decisions, that Doctor Strange 2 trailer and more. Then! Then, then, then we have a spoilerific chat about The Book Of Boba Fett and get very geeky about the latest Star Wars Disney+ show. It's a bumper one this ep and no mistake.

Many will know Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister from that there Game Of Thrones but now you can soon see him as Cyrano in, um, Cyrano, at long last in cinemas. In this ‘Story So Far’ interview we leap about his career, from The Station Agent to Avengers: Infinity War, and it is a delight, though we say so ourselves.

If you've not already heard of Mary Elizabeth Kelly, prepare to discover one of your new favourite people on the internet. An exceptional impressionist and a big-time Mean Girls fan, she dropped by Ali Plumb's Film Club to talk about - you guessed it - Mean Girls. Oh, and being an impressionist. You may have seen that coming, sure, but just wanted to be clear up front, you know.

After breaking box office records with Spider-Man: No Way Home, Tom Holland is back with another high-budget big screen adventure in the form of Uncharted, the long-awaited cinematic adaptation of the much-loved Naughty Dog / Playstation gaming series. Our Tom is a young Nathan Drake, the treasure-hunting hero of the franchise, while Mark Wahlberg is his moustachioed mentor Sully. Listen to Mister Holland esq talk to Ali about getting the role, what it means to him and which part of the costume kept smacking him in the face.

The 2022 Oscar nominations are here, and Ali is more than willing to rattle through some of the headlines for you, despite a nuisance headcold (sorry about the voice modulation, by the by). Then there's the host of the super smash hit YouTube interview show Hot Ones, that there Sean Evans, who stops by to answer Ali's seemingly infinite questions about his internet-breaking series, as well as touching on Christopher Nolan's beloved Batman outing The Dark Knight for another Ali Plumb's Film Club. There's a whole lotta podcast in the podcast and no mistake.

Andrew Garfield has been giving the world some pretty darn amazing performances of late, notably in his new movie, The Eyes Of Tammy Faye (where he plays televangelist Jim Bakker), and also musical Tick Tick... Boom on Netflix. And then there's, well, how shall we put this? He's also in another motion picture that you may well have seen but it's probably best we don't mention its name - at least not in the description - though it does come up within the conversation you're about to hear, so forewarned is (sort of) forearmed. Long story short though, Andrew Garfield is a hero and here's an interview with him, please enjoy.

Emma Sidi, star of Starstruck (soon to hit BBC3 on February 7th), stops by to talk about the show as well as Tick, Tick... Boom, Lin-Manuel Miranda's 'Andrew Garfield as Rent writer Jon Larson' musical that hit Netflix late last year. Plus, Ali tries (and fails) to wrap his head around the new Bafta nominations and just how they work these days, and then there's a review of Jackass Forever and an 'acknowledgement' of the existence of Moonfall.

A sequel to the toe-tapping, pop song-stuffed animated animal movie Sing that came out a few years ago is finally here, with Taron Egerton and company sipping their honey tea after belting out yet more catchier-than-catchier radio hits. Speaking to Ali about their favourite karaoke songs and much more are Scarlett Johansson, Matthew McConaughey, Tori Kelly, Nick Kroll and the writer-director behind it all, the wonderful Garth Jennings.

Some of Ali's favourite creative types in that there Hollywood have hopped on Zoom to talk about their latest Apple TV show, The Afterparty, a murder mystery comedy with some incredible names on board, including Tiffany Haddish, Dave Franco, Jamie Demetriou and more. But! Even more impressive than that there's Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (friends of the show) behind the camera and Ali's brother from another mother (he likes to think), one Ben Schwartz, doing singing and a-dancing in his own amazing musically-themed episode.

Sir Kenneth Branagh's heartwarming semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story Belfast is in cinemas this weekend, and so is this Belfast interview special, featuring stars Dame Judi Dench, Jamie Dornan and Caitríona Balfe - not forgetting our writer director producer Sir Kenneth - talking about their uplifting (and somehow also heartbreaking) film set in 1969 Belfast just as The Troubles began.

Some big movie and TV (and gaming, to be fair) news has dropped of late so we thought it high time to get Ali back on the microphone to explain what's what in the world of blockbusters et al. Joining him is Scream expert Louise Blain, who is happy to talk about what's been happening in Hollywood lately - but is even happier discussing in spoilerific detail how she feels about the new Scream movie.

You asked for it, you got it. Finally, at long long last, Ali and Ace reunite to geek out about Spider-Man: No Way Home in spoilerific detail. If you've not seen the latest Spider-adventure, do not press play on this podcast. Seriously, we're not kidding here: we get into spoiler territory and QUICK. So if you're looking for a safe space to really get into the nitty gritty of it all, you've come to the right place. And bless Ali for trying to find things that he didn't like about the movie, eh?

Ali is back and so is friend of the podcast Ash Crossan, joining forces once again, this time to talk through some of the biggest upcoming releases of 2022, including the likes of Jurassic World Dominion, Doctor Strange 2 and much, much more. Also as a bonus, there's a tiny bit of Keegan-Michael Key talking about Hotel Transylvania: Transformania right at the very end, and at the very beginning, you can hear Ali desperately try to review Scream (aka 5cream) without giving away any spoilers.

Ali is enjoying a well-earned break, so here’s another chance to hear a classic Screen Time interview. James Cameron, the visionary director behind Titanic and Avatar, talks Ali Plumb through his remarkable career, from The Terminator and Aliens to new movie Alita: Battle Angel.

The King's Man has arrived, the kinda-sorta prequel / origin tale to the previous to Kingsman movies of 2014 and 2017. This time we've gone back to the days of World War One, with new characters along for the ride in the form of Ralph Fiennes, Gemma Arterton, Rhys Ifans, Tom Hollander, Harris Dickinson and Djimon Hounsou - and what do you know, they're all on this here interview special, as well as director Matthew Vaughn, talking about cane swords, slow-motion reloading and gobbling down several slices of bakewell tart. This will make sense in context. Hopefully.

Keanu Reeves is Neo, 'The One', the hero of The Matrix. Sure, he's also John Wick, Johnny Mnemonic, John Constantine and a whole host of other characters with the first name "John" - but to many he is and forever shall be Neo. With that in mind, it was a great honour for our Ali to speak to the great man about the legacy of the films, his favourite moments and, well, The Lego Movie. You'll see.

The Witcher is back on Netflix for a second series - and to celebrate, Ali was lucky enough to talk to the likes of Anya Chalotra, Joey Batey, Freya Allan and newcomer Kim Bodnia about the success of the first series (and the books and the games, lest we forget). Oh, and some Henry Cavill fella goes into beautifully nerdy detail about the role of Geralt Of Rivia, The Witcher himself, touching on everything from the voice to the sword skills to the wig to the... almost everything, really!
