    Colman Domingo Sing Sing Interview Special

    Colman Domingo is an incredible actor and his new film, Sing Sing, is incredible in of itself, telling as it does the real-life story of the thatre group in New York’s Sing Sing Correctional Facility, incorporating real-life people who went through what you see on screen, acting as versions of themselves. It’s a special film and if it’s passed you by, this interview will make you very curious to watch it indeed, we think...

    Nick Frost Get Away Interview Special!

    Star of Spaced, the Cornetto Trilogy, Paul, Tintin, Cuban Fury, the upcoming How To Train Your Dragon live action remake and now his own new horror comedy called Get Away (which he just so happened to write) Nick Frost is one of those human beings who likes to keep himself busy, whether it's in films or TV or writing books or cooking up a storm in his kitchen. Here as a little New Year treat, he talks to our Ali about all that and more in a rambling conversation best suited for an idle wintery walk or a lengthy bit of Masterchef-worthy food prep. Or, well, anything else you fancy to be honest.

    Ben Schwartz Returns!

    Today we have a return visit from a friend of the show, the comedian and actor and voice artiste Ben Schwartz, who just happens to be Sonic in that new motion picture film called Sonic The Hedgehog 3 (out next week, December 21st, fact fans). He’s also Jean Ralphio in Parks and Rec, Clyde Oberholt in House Of Lies, Dewey Duck in Ducktales… the list goes on and on. He’s also the man behind touring improv super show “Ben Schwartz And Friends” and just so happens to think and speak supersuperfast, so expect an "all over the place" conversation between Ali and Ben - in a good way - as they talk about all sorts, including James Marsden in Jury Duty and what to do when an interview goes very, very wrong...

    Moana 2 Interview Special - feat. Auliʻi Cravalho!

    That foolish human being known as Ali Plumb has managed to injure himself - but that’s not stopped him from getting you a podcast for this particular week, oh no no. Stepping up to the plate to help is the wonderful Auliʻi Cravalho, voice of Moana - as well as two of the directors of Moana 2 and its songwriters, Barlow And Bear. Not bad eh? Particularly when you remember this new sequel is break box office records left and right.Safe to say Moana 3 is going to be a thing sooner rather than later (not forgetting that live-action version they’re cooking up…)

    Reviewed: Wicked, Gladiator 2 - Plus Jude Law on Skeleton Crew!

    An accidentally rhyming title for this week's episode of BBC Radio 1's Screen Time as friends of the show Clarisse Loughrey (The Independent's Chief Film Critic) and Ian Sandwell (Head of film at Digital Spy) stop by to give Ali their thoughts on two of the biggest films out right now, namely Wicked and Gladiator 2 - plus a few other bits and pieces as well. Then at the end, as a special bonus extra, the eternally charming Jude Law talks about his role in the new Star Wars TV series Skeleton Crew (out December 3rd, fact fans), carefully dancing around whether his character is a Jedi or not. He's done this press junket dance before, it seems...
