Saoirse Ronan on Her Directing Ambitions

Simon’s conversation with Saoirse and Paapa was so good we couldn’t fit it all into Take 1! Listen to the trio discuss the film’s sound design, shooting on the Orkney Islands and Saoirse’s goal of directing in this extra chunk of cinematic goodness. Meanwhile, Mark reviews ‘Never Let Go’, a Halle Berry-starring survival horror thriller about a family who can’t leave the safety of their house without a rope around them because evil lurks in the forest; and ‘Dragonkeeper’, an animated fantasy adventure, which sees the fate of ancient China resting on the shoulders of one young girl, who must find the last remaining dragon egg and fulfill her destiny. This week’s One Frame Back is the best films about alcoholism to coincide with the release of ‘The Outrun’. Mark and Simon take us through what’s worth watching and avoiding this week with the Weekend Watchlist/ Weekend Notlist. Plus, our bespectacled duo answer a swathe of your Questions and Schmestions – from who they wished was still alive to asking certified ‘Exorcist’ expert Mark to identify a location in the film.
