Guests join throughout the series to share their industry insights. In one episode, a director known for her work on Doctor Who joins the podcast. Alice Troughton talks about her debut feature film, the mystery-thriller The Lesson. She explains why she chose to tell the film's story and discusses the "noir" genre. Troughton talks about each role, such as the "maman fatale." She talks about the need for more female directors in the industry. Following her interview, Kermode provides his review of the film. How does he rate its success as a "whodunnit"?
In another episode, guest host Anna Bogutskaya shares her film review of Sound of Freedom. Bogutskaya is an author, critic, and producer. She shares the job of hosting with film critic Rhianna Dhillon. Bogutskaya states she can only discuss Sound of Freedom by mentioning its controversial context. She discusses its association with far-right figures, including Trump, and conspiracy theories. Bogutskaya's review on the podcast shows how films can have a far-reaching conversation and impact beyond their plot.
