With the release of X-MEN '97, Marvel revives more than the show's classic theme. Conversations about injustice, freedom and acceptance have always been embedded within the series, creating a legacy of hope for the disenfranchised. This week, Miriam Ibrahim, Dina Hamdieh and Raevin Larue reunite to talk with Steve about the real power of the X-Men and why they still resonate.

Directed by Greg Jacobs and Jon Siskel, The Here Now Project take a look at the year 2021 from an environmental perspective. Having compiled incredible footage shot by everyday people from all walks of life, the film chronicles the state of our climate reality and calls for us to band together in unity. In this 1on1, we speak to Jacobs about what sets this apart from other climate docs and starting a 'call to courage'.

Directed by Simon Cellan Jones, ARTHUR THE KING follows Michael Light (Mark Wahlberg), an ultimate racer who left the sport in shame. When one last chance to secure his legacy presents itself, he fights to secure a sponsor and a team of athletes (Simu Liu, Nathalie Emmanuel and Ali Suliman) for the Adventure Racing World Championship in the Dominican Republic. Faced with ten days and 435 miles, this ultimate race pushes the team to the brink of quitting… until a scrappy street dog that they dub Arthur begins to change their fortune. In this 1on1, we speak to Jones about good leadership, learning through suffering and leaving his legacy.

Directed by Marlo McKenzie and Jonathan Parker, Carol Doda: Topless at the Condor transports the viewer back to San Francisco in the 1960s. Here, we meet Carol Doda, the first dancer to go topless in the booming nightclub scene. In doing so, Doda became an overnight sensation and struck a blow for gender equality (both legally and culturally) that still resonates today. In this 1on1, we speak to McKenzie and Parker about combatting the male gaze & the politicization of fashion.

In SOMEONE LIKE YOU,  rural architect Dawson Gage (Jake Allyn) has always been in love with London Quinn (Sarah Fisher), even if she hasn’t felt the same. Now, a decade later, the two finally seem to be on the same page romantically… when suddenly tragedy strikes and that opportunity is lost. But Dawson yearns to find some piece of her and, upon discovering that she has a twin sister name Andi (Fisher again), embarks on a journey to meet her. Having been separated during their parents’ IVF procedure, Andi has never known about her ‘other life’ and the news rocks her world. As Dawson brings Andi to meet her birthparents, she begins to dive into the home that she never knew and potentially uncover an attraction that she never expected. In this 1on1, we speak to co-writer Karen Kingsbury and star Sarah Fisher about chemistry with co-stars, love that hurts & the power of faith.

Directed by Damian Hurley, STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL tells the story of Mia (Georgia Lock), a young woman still grieving the loss of her best friend, Rebecca. On the anniversary of her mysterious death, Mia and her friends return to the Caribbean paradise in honour of Rebecca and her life. As Mia reconnects with her old flame, dear friends and Rebecca’s mother, Lily (Elizabeth Hurley) and sister Jemma, old secrets and passions begin to emerge, revealing a web of sex, betrayal and murder. In this 1on1, we speak to Elizabeth Hurley & Damian Hurley about working together onset and 'messed up people'.
