    Apple TV+: From 'Slow Horses' to big monsters

    Apple TV+: From 'Slow Horses' to big monsters

    Apple TV Plus recently launched Season 3 of Slow Horses starring Gary Oldman as the disheveled, flatulent, and often drunk Jackson Lamb. It is also midway through its Monarch Legacy of Monsters show that expands Legendary’s Monsterverse. I had an opportunity to speak with some of the creative folks behind both shows. First, I’ll be speaking to Oldman and co-star Jack Lowden about where their characters are in this latest season of Mick Herron’s espionage tale. Then I will talk to the people behind the camera who are bringing Godzilla to the small screen.

News, insight, deep dives and entertainment

An enjoyable podcast that covers cinema history, niche films and genres, speaks with cinema historians and cinephiles and takes the occasional deep dive into a particular subject. Hosted by a cinephile herself, Beth, seeks to preserve cinematic history by bringing the often unknown or obscure to a wider audience. This show is about the love for cinema, in all its various forms, the “good” and the “bad”. No gimmicks here.
