Movies with Rhianna

Daphne du Maurier's classic novel Rebecca has been adapted once again by Ben Wheatley, and in honour of its release on Netflix (and select cinemas) on October 21st, Ali spoke to its charming stars, Lily James and Armie Hammer, about tackling a story that previously won the Best Picture Oscar for one - checks notes - "Alfred Hitchcock". Never heard of him either.

There will be a slight delay for this week's interview podcast. Here's Ali to explain.

Ali Plumb's Film Club continues apace with '71, the tense thriller from Yann Demange that Ali's been banging on about for seemingly ages now. Newsbeat's very own Steffan Powell pops by to chat about the latest movie and TV news (as well as '71, of course), with everything from Coming 2 America to His Dark Materials up for discussion.

Riz Ahmed is one of those brilliantly gifted writer-actors that is always worth watching. His latest, the heartfelt and close to home Mogul Mowgli is currently screening at the BFI London Film Festival before hitting cinema screens nationwide on October 30th. Here he talks to Ali about the parallels between himself and his Pakistani-British rapper Zed in the film, touching on the legacy of Four Lions and a whole load more.

Ali Plumb's Film Club is back! I, Tonya is being discussed at length this week, with Radio 1's very own Clara Amfo coming along for the ride. As if that weren't enough, there's a generously-sized movie news section - lots and lots to talk about and no mistake - plus an interview with the amazingly talented Morfydd Clark, the star of the now-actually-in-actual-cinemas body horror Saint Maud.

Tom Hiddleston takes us back through his career, including playing Loki in The Avengers movies, working with Woody Allen, starring in The Night Manager, and hearing Spielberg's anecdotes.

Ali is here to blow Ace's mind this week with loads of Marvel 'n' Disney 'n' Boys-based movie and TV news. Lion King 2? Sure, let's tackle that. How about Jamie Foxx in a new Spider-Man movie? Wait... what? Ace and Ali try to explain it all (and sometimes even succeed). Also! Your thoughts on Enola Holmes, and don't forget - Ali Plumb's Film Club is back next week, so make sure you watch I, Tonya before then...

Ali is back from his trip away with a walking, talking solo Friday episode, talking about the Emmys, the Beastie Boys, the "classics" and this week's biggest release 'Enola Holmes'. And fret not, Ace will be back next week, don't you worry...

Chances are, you know full well who Millie Bobby Brown is: the staggeringly gifted 16-year-old star of Stranger Things and now her own new Netflix movie, Enola Holmes, where she plays the sister of the famous Baker Street consulting detective (here played by Henry Cavill). Talking to Ali for an iPlayer 'Story So Far' interview, here's the slightly longer audio version where they talk about all sorts: performing martial arts in a corset, perfecting a posh English accent and what mementos Millie's taken home over her career so far.

Ali is off on holiday this week but that's not going to stop him from podcasting, no sir, no way, no how. Here then is a shorter (and possibly sweeter) Friday edition of Radio 1's Screen Time, bolstered by the appearance of Bill and Ted themselves, Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves, to celebrate the UK in-cinema release of the long-awaited Bill & Ted: Face The Music. **Air Guitar**

Nolan North is the star of the new Marvel's Avengers game, where he plays - checks notes - a character called 'Iron Man'. Never heard of him either. Talking to Ali about what goes into the performance capture of cutscenes in modern triple-A games like Avengers and much, much more besides, the artist sometimes known as Nathan Drake is funny, informative and pretty good at telling stories. From a much-loved actor? Who saw that coming?

So many news stories, so little time! Ali and Ace try to dance through the biggest movie revelations that have dropped in the past week - from Mission: Impossible to the new Dune trailer and back again - before capping things off with a review of the new live-action Mulan. Expect a lot of extreme geekery. In a good way.

The New Mutants is finally in cinemas! And to celebrate, here's our Ali talking to the impressive cast - namely Maisie Williams, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Heaton, Alice Braga, Blu Hunt and Henry Zaga - as well as writer-director Josh Boone about how they put together their X-Men haunted house (ish) horror thriller. Note to self: do not hand Maisie Williams a tambourine any time soon. Now we know.

The New Mutants finally hits cinemas this week and Ace and Ali are here to let you know what to expect. Plus, Mulan lands on Disney Plus - for an extra fee, mind - and The Boys Season 2 has finally arrived. Well, the first three episodes have, at any rate. In the news section, our pal James Bond makes an appearance, as does John Boyega and the cast of Dune, but ultimately the biggest story is of course the sad passing of Black Panther himself, Chadwick Boseman, with Ace and Ali doing their best to come to terms with the shocking news.

Tenet is finally here, and in cinemas. Christoper Nolan's latest is a big budget time-recalibrating spy-ish sci-fi thriller that's almost impossible to talk about. Almost. Nimbly dancing around spoilers the best they can, here are the cast of Tenet - John David Washington, Elizabeth Debicki, Robert Pattinson and Sir Kenneth Branagh - as well as Nolan himself.

The Batman, The Suicide Squad, Justice League... a whole host of DC movie news landed over the weekend just gone so it's up to Ali and Ace step up to the plate to make sense of it all. Plus! Ali does his level best to review Christopher Nolan's Tenet without dropping any spoilers. It's quite the task and no mistake.

Greta Gerwig is the amazingly talented writer-director-actor behind Lady Bird and Little Women. In this December 2019 interview, she speaks to Ali about her relationship with Saoirse Ronan, what it's like going to the Oscars (with the help of Jordan Peele) and much more besides.

In a 'movie news stories' round-up, Ace and Ali talk about the Zac Efron Three Men And A Baby reboot - no, really - Will Smith's hard-edged Fresh Prince reimagining and who they've cast as Princess Diana in the final two series of The Crown. It's a mixed bag of news this week, we can't lie. Also don't forget that next week's 'Ali Plumb's Film Club' is Tenet, what with it being the first big, big movie to hit cinemas for a long, long time. And, you know, it being a Christopher Nolan film and all. What were you planning on doing, 'not watching it'? Well, quite.

A short and sweet (and spoilerific) Friday podcast for you this week, with Ali joining forces with Steffan Powell, Radio 1's gaming-cum-murder mystery expert, to talk about this week's Ali Plumb's Film Club choice, Knives Out. Look forward to two fully-grown men getting really excited about Daniel Craig's Kentucky-fried accent, listing off their favourite Agatha Christie adaptations and other such wanton nerdery. Plus! Ali announces next week's film club choice, Peanut Butter Falcon. Better take note, ya hear?

Seth Rogen is back - and in cinemas to boot! - with An American Pickle, a high-concept comedy about grief, loss, ancestry, religion and what it would be like if your grandfather met you, a 30-something app developer in New York, after waking up from being pickled in brine for over 100 years. You may need to read that sentence again, I don't blame you. Here, Seth talks about his thinky, introspective movie with his trademark booming laugh never far from his lips, before digging into the tried and true Ali Plumb silly stuff towards the end.
