Movies with Rhianna

Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny, the fifth Indy adventure, finally hits cinemas on June 30, with the final archeological outing seeing The Man In The Hat - one Harrison Ford - hanging up his, um, hat. Joining him for one last crack of the whip (and this interview special) are his costars Phoebe Waller Bridge, Mads Mikkelsen and more - including director James Mangold and a rather emotional Ali Plumb.

Ali is away on his hols so we bring you another chance to hear the classic Andrew Garfield Movies That Made Me interview from early 2022. 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.

Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, Daniel Kaluuya, Jake Johnson, Phil Lord and Chris Miller swung onto a Zoom to chat to Ali recently, as the follow-up to 2018's Oscar winner Into The Spider-Verse finally thwips into cinemas. Expect conversation concerning baby noises, getting voice recognised and Skins' Posh Kenneth.

Been a minute since we last had a spoiler special on this here podcast but Guardians 3 seems like the perfect excuse for Ali and Ace to get back in the studio to talk in nerdy detail about their favourite (and least favourite, sure) moments from the latest big screen Marvel outing. So if you haven't seen James Gunn's trilogy capper, maybe don't press play on this one, but if you have... well, fill your jet boots - if you've remembered them.

Have you heard? Video game adaptations are back, and they are making big money. Well, Super Mario Bros. certainly is, and The Last Of Us is a critical darling, which means many more gaming do-overs will be on the way. To celebrate - and this is pretty tangential, sure, but any excuse to talk about Edgar Wright - Ali invited the wonderful and wise gaming expert Aoife Wilson onto the podcast to do an Ali Plumb's Film Club on a movie heavily inspired by gaming in all its glory: Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World.

For just under ten years, the ragtag Marvel heroes known as the Guardians Of The Galaxy have been a part of our superheroic / cinematic lives, and with the third film in the series now in theatres, Ali caught up with writer-director James Gunn and his cast - including Zoe Saldana, Chris Pratt, Pom Klementieff and Karen Gillan - to ask that big ol' question: what's the secret of their intergalactic success?

After a Zoom chat with the gang a few weeks ago, Ted Lasso himself - the one and only Jason Sudeikis - stopped by London town to speak to Ali for a 'Becoming... Ted Lasso' interview special. Warning: contains moderate series 1-2 spoilers from the show as well as, um, a hug. An audio hug. As you do.

Joe and Anthony Russo are the directors of some of the biggest Marvel movies (and so biggest Movies full stop) of all time, including Captain America The Winter Soldier, Avengers Infinity War, Captain America Civil War, and the BIG one - the biggest film of all time (for a time) - Avengers Endgame. TV-wise they've also worked on Arrested Development, Community and much more, including their new Amazon Prime mega blockbuster spy series Citadel, which brought them to London recent to talk to our Ali about skis, exploding trains and director cameos.

Hot off the success of The Last Of Us, professional cinematographer / director of photography Eben Bolter joins Ali this week to talk about one of the most beautiful (and most influential) sci-fis ever made, Blade Runner. Impossible to do justice in under an hour - or given any length of time at all, really - this film of films goes under the microscope as they pair try, enthusiastically, to work out just what makes it so very, very special.

This is an interview special in honour of the extremely talented, utterly charming and truly delightful Melanie Lynskey. Currently she’s in Yellowjackets, the Paramount+ show about a high school soccer (that is to say, football) team who, in the '90s, survive a horrific plane crash that leaves them stranded in the Canadian wilderness, struggling to survive, stay warm, stay sane, and, um, stay fed. It's... not a comedy. Melanie, however, is an utter joy, and here's the interview to prove it.

British animation institution Aardman is celebrating 30 years since Wallace And Gromit gem The Wrong Trousers, so what better way to celebrate the home of Morph, Shaun The Sheep and The Pirate Captain than to... invite comedian Abi Clarke onto the show to talk about Chicken Run, eh? To be fair, the sequel is out on Netflix later on this yeah, so it kinda makes sense. And it's Chicken Run! It's a classic of classics! So any excuse, really...

Los Angeles-based film critic Grae Drake joins Ali for a spoilerific chat about Steven Spielberg's future-predicting sci-fi classic Minority Report, starring some guy called Tom Cruise. He'll be back on the big screen later this year for another Impossible Mission, but for now let's celebrate one of the best entries in either Cruise's or Spielberg's back catalogue (yep, we went there).

HBO, Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann absolutely knocked it out of the park with The Last Of Us, we can all agree - nine episodes of some of the best TV we've seen in quite some time - but that isn't going to stop Ali and friend of the show Ash Crossan from doing a spoiler special Screen Time podcast about. They may both love the games and love the show, but when it comes to spoiler specials, if there are nits, they will be picked - even if they're pretty darn hard to find. So if you've watched the first series, welcome, this is just the spoilery discussion podcast for you!

John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein are the brilliant people who gave us Rachel McAdams and Jason Bateman comedy hit Game Night a few years ago, and now they're back with the charming action adventure fantasy heist movie Dungeons And Dragons: Honour Among Thieves, taking stars like Chris Pine, Hugh Grant, Michelle Rodriguez, Regé-Jean Page and more on the ride of their lives. Here, all of the above speak to Ali about riding horses, the perils of sweaty armour and, um, hugging.

Florence Pugh is just extraordinarily talented. Whether it's Midsommar, Little Women, Fighting With My Family or her latest - A Good Person, in cinemas now, fact fans - she's just an outstanding acting take, and we can look forward to even more of her over the next few years in the likes of Marvel's Thunderbolts, Oppenheimer and Dune Part 2. This is the audio version of her Movies That Made Me interview with Ali, which you can watch on BBC iPlayer in all its glory closer to its Sky Cinema release on April 28th. Write that down in your copybooks... now.

Radio 1 veteran - and the man who literally wrote the book on Keanu Reeves - one James King, esq, speaks to Ali this week about the man also known as John Wick in honour of the fourth chapter of the action franchise hitting cinemas this weekend. And after all the Keanu love, right at the end we have a few minutes with Mr. Reeves himself, as well as his director Chad Stahelski and co-stars Rina Sawayama and Ian McShane.

This Sunday it's time for a throwback interview from late last year, one with Daniel Craig himself. In lieu of a 'Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery' spoiler special - darn those technical gremlins - we're reaching back a few months to give you Ali's chat with the artist formerly known as James Bond, touching on how he got the role, what it means to him and where that accent of accents comes from (in a classic 'Becoming...' interview way).

Zachary Levi, then: aka Tangled's Flynn Rider, aka Thor's underseen best mate Fandral, aka Chuck's Chuck, aka Shazam (aka Billy Batson). With the Shazam! sequel in cinemas now - that's Shazam! Fury Of The Gods - Ali spoke to the fast-talking, quick-witted actor about how he got the role (after originally turning down the chance!), playing Mario Kart on set and how you go about dashing to the loo when you're wearing such a form-fitting superhero get-up.

At long last, Ted Lasso returns to our screens on March 15th for a third series on Apple TV+. It has felt like an eternity for die-hard fans of the show who've fallen in love with the world of Richmond AFC since it first appeared in our lives in August 2020 - so to help tide you over just a few more days, here are Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, Nick Mohammed, Brendan Hunt and Toheeb Jimoh talking about the phenomenon of Ted, shortbread biscuits, "the signal" and much, much more.

Scream 6 - or Scream VI (or ScreaVI) - has arrived in cinemas, and with it... a lot of questions. It's the latest in the meta horror slasher ghostfaced series we all know and love, a treasure trove of twists and references and big plot points - so we all have some queries we'd love to have answered. But also... kinda not. Welcome to: the spoiler zone. In a nutshell, here are some short and sweet interviews with the cast of Scream 6 where Ali tries to ask them moderately interesting questions without anyone giving any spoilers away. It's quite the highwire act, but if anyone can do it, it's Melissa Barrera, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding, Dermot Mulroney, Jenna Ortega, Hayden Panettiere and the directors, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett.
