We're back with a brand-new podcast: Screen, Play.
You can hear the new show by searching 'Screen, Play' in your podcast app of choice.
This time, the format’s a little different. Every couple of weeks, we’ll take a topical subject and count down our top three films that relate to it in some way, with new episodes dropping on Mondays. Think of it as The Best Bits — but sharper, looser, and even more conversational.
Our first episode is out now, where we kick things off with our favourite back-to-school films, from Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1939) to The Holdovers (2023).
Listen and subscribe wherever you like. Just search Screen, Play.
