Shownotes Transcript

In this episode we soar into new heights, with guest Felicity Jones, and her new film The Aeronauts. Plus, we get in to the story of Noah Baumbach's new one on marriage.

Noah Baumbach, director of The Squid and the Whale and The Meyerowitz Stories, returns with a new family drama that ranks among his very best, and is a front runner for acting awards over the coming months. This one’s about a stage director (played by Adam Driver) and his wife, an actress played by Scarlett Johansson, as they struggle through a gruelling, coast-to-coast divorce that pushes them to their personal and creative extreme.

In The Aeronauts, it's 1862 and scientist James Glaisher (Eddie Redmayne) and widow Amelia Wren (Felicity Jones) embark on a remarkable mission to go where no human has gone before: 37,000 feet into the sky in a hot air balloon. As they begin their journey into the unknown, we flash back to their reasons for taking this momentous step... Battling weather conditions and their uncertain vessel, can the two return to Earth safely?

Discussing the films this week are Jake Cunningham, Sam Howlett, Kelly Powell and Ella Kemp
