Movies with Rhianna

The Wizarding World returns to cinemas this weekend with Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets Of Dumbledore, so it makes perfect sense to talk to the likes of Eddie Redmayne (that there Newt Scamander) and Jude Law (one Professor Albus Dumbledore) about their characters and the fine art of wand-waving. Fun fact: these interviews took place in Watford, surrounded by props from the Harry Potter films themselves, so if you'd like to see what's going on around Jude and Eddie, by all means head to BBC Radio 1 iPlayer as and when you fancy!

Stephen Carty stops by to talk in depth about THE BATMAN (all caps very much on purpose). Listen to two nerds nerd out - in the best possible way - about Robert Pattinson's interpretation of The Caped Crusader (or, as we should say, The World's Greatest Detective) as Matt Reeves' critically-acclaimed DC film comes under the Radio 1 Screen Time magnifying glass.

Ben and Ali love talking nonsense, and here's perfect proof of that: nearly half an hour of amiable insanity as two curly-haired fast talkers sling silliness at each other in honour of Sonic The Hedgehog 2's arrival in cinemas. Expect Parks And Rec chat, The Oscars ceremony (but not that one), three second q&as and much much more. Oh, and Ali genuinely hadn't slept a wink before this all took place, so... Good luck everyone.

The Oscars! The "incident"! The TV BAFTA nominations! Bruce Willis! Jared Leto! Sonic 2! The Bad Guys! Morbius! Moon Knight! So much going on, so little time. Okay, well, more time than usual but still: a lot to talk about, so much so we edited down this episode from an original 16 hour file (only slightly kidding). So enjoy this bumper Friday edition of Radio 1's Screen Time and don't forget to tell your friends.

Moon Knight swoops down - white cape swishing oh so elegantly - on March 30th on that there Disney+, and despite the whole concept of the superhero / antihero Marvel show being more or less one massive SPOILER, Ali still manages to get something not half bad (though we say so ourselves) out of the wonderful Oscar, Ethan and May.

A short and sweet Friday podcast this week as Ali is a little poorly - don't worry however, as the stars of Michael Bay's latest explosion-filled actioner are here to talk spinning cameras and sunset shots. And hey! Oscars this weekend... Hopefully Ali will be back on form by then.

Prisoners (2013), Sicario (2015), Arrival (2016), Blade Runner 2049 (2017) and now Dune (2021) - director Denis Villeneuve has an incredible back catalogue... and then there's the likes Enemy, Incendies, Polytechnique and more. He is truly a supremely gifted filmmaker to say the very least. To celebrate the recent news that Dune Part 2 is starting prep to shoot sometime soon - for a 2023 release with a bit of luck - here's Denis's Movies That Made Me interview that you may have seen on BBC iPlayer last year, now in audio form for your podcast pleasure.

Daisy Edgar-Jones is the stupendously talented actress you'll most likely know best for playing Marianne in Normal People and now she's in a brand new movie, a black comedy horror thriller called Fresh, to be found on Disney+ in the UK right about now. In this special Friday edition of the podcast, she stops by to talk nonsense with an overexcited Ali, who's beside himself to be back in a radio studio hosting a guest like a grown-up. A very childish grown-up. You know what he's like.

The Batman is in cinemas and is a very big deal, three hours no less. Here is something much, much quicker: a supercut of Ali's short but sweet Zoom interviews with some of the cast while they were in London, including the likes of Andy Serkis, Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright, Colin Farrell and the director himself, Matt Reeves. Oh, and Zoe Kravitz and some Robert Pattinson guy.

Two pretty big movies hit streamers this weekend, namely Pixar's Turning Red on Disney+ and Ryan Reynolds' (and Shawn Levy's) sci-fi adventure The Adam Project on Netflix. Both are reviewed by Ali and returning podcast guest Clarisse Loughrey as they also tackle some of the week's biggest movie and TV news stories, including the new Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer and all those Warner Bros. film release date changes.

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.
