Ian Lynch - Sweat, Sounds and Stories: A Love Letter to Old T-Shirts - The Testament of Ann Lee - Ciaran Creagh

US civil rights activist and religious leader, Jesse Jackson is remembered, following his death at the age of 84. He campaigned alongside Martin Luther King in the 1960s, and later ran for president twice - his political message was infused with the traditions, and the cadences, of the Black Baptist church. A musical film called The Testament of Ann Lee was released in the UK this week. It explores the story of a woman from Manchester who preached gender and social equality as the founder of the Shakers movement. Dancing, singing and a search for ecstatic experiences were a central part of worship, as well as vows of celibacy. Documents in the US ‘Epstein files' reveal that Donald Trump's former adviser Steve Bannon discussed plans with Jeffrey Epstein to "take down" Pope Francis, even exploring a film based on a controversial book about the Vatican. The messages, reported by CNN and Religion News Service, cast the Vatican as a geopolitical pressure point in wider culture wars.

Director Mona Fastvold and actor Amanda Seyfried discuss their film The Testament of Ann Lee, a musical history about the life of the founder of The Shakers, a mystic who moved from Manchester to the United States in the 18th century and founded a religious community, and who advocated for celibacy, communal living, and gender equality.As a new production of George Bernard Shaw's St Joan opens, director Stewart Laing and theologian and art historian Ayla Lepine discuss how the 15th-century French religious martyr who led France to victory in the Hundred Years War against England but who was burned at the stake after being found guilty of heresy has influenced culture, and why her story is particularly relevant today.In her new book Fashioning the Crown, journalist and author Justine Picardie explores how the women of The Windsors have used clothing to communicate messaging to the public. She speaks about her research in the Royal Archives and about how symbolic royal dress has been over the past century.Presenter: Kirsty Wark Producer: Mark Crossan

For this week's main podcast review, Megan Lachinski, Josh Parham, and Dan Bayer join me to discuss the latest film from Mona Fasvold, "The Testament Of Ann Lee," starring Amanda Seyfried, Thomasin McKenzie, Lewis Pullman, Stacy Martin, Tim Blake Nelson & Christopher Abbott. Co-written with her partner in work and in life, Brady Corbet, and following up the monumental success of last year's "The Brutalist," the duo is back with another $10 million indie film, this time about the founding leader of the Shakers religious sect in the 18th century that, unfortunately, never quite caught on after its world premiere at the 2025 Venice International Film Festival, resulting in zero Oscar nominations. This recording was done before that announcement, and there's plenty to discuss besides the film's awards season run, including Amanda Seyfried's career-best performance, the jaw-dropping cinematography, production, and costume design, the ungodly score and songs by Daniel Blumberg (inspired by real-life Shaker hymns), Fastvold's singular direction, and more! Please tune in as we discuss these elements, the writing, and yes, our Oscar hopes for it before the Lord God tooketh away, in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!

We recorded these reviews before Thursday's Academy announcement, so we have a couple of updates for you: Amanda Seyfried didn't get a nomination for "The Testament of Ann Lee," but "Come See Me in the Good Light" did make it into the documentary feature category. Here's what we discussed: MERCY. Chris Pratt is a police detective accused of killing his wife in a futuristic hellscape of Los Angeles. He has 90 minutes to prove his innocence before an AI judge (Rebecca Ferguson) or he'll be executed. We debate exactly what this Amazon release is propaganda for, but agree that it (and Pratt) are terrible. In theaters. THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE. Amanda Seyfried IS Ann Lee, found of the Shaker religious movement, in director and co-writer Mona Fastvold's ambitious musical. This had a brief awards run at the end of 2025 and is returning to theaters this weekend. The song and dance numbers are mesmerizing. COME SEE ME IN THE GOOD LIGHT. The late poet Andrea Gibson is the subject of this intimate documentary, which is alternately hilarious and heartbreaking but always stirring. Director Ryan White follows the genderqueer Gibson and their partner as they navigate a lengthy and painful cancer battle, but there's plenty of room for humor and even hope. Streaming on Apple TV.

Mona Fastvold is the director of the buzzy new movie musical The Testament of Ann Lee, which is based on the true story of Ann Lee, the charismatic religious leader who brought the Shaker sect from England to the American colonies in the 18th century. The Testament of Ann Lee is getting rave reviews for Amanda Seyfried's performance as Ann, and critics are saying the film is redefining what a musical can be. Mona joins guest host Talia Schlanger to talk about the process of making this film, how it upends expectations, and how she got this very “unsexy” movie made.

Sean and Amanda are joined by Chris Ryan as they enter the bone temple to discuss Nia DaCosta's ‘28 Years Later: The Bone Temple,' which they all thoroughly enjoyed (10:12). Then, they briefly build the Ralph Fiennes Hall of Fame, featuring their favorite performances from the legendary actor (43:47). Next, they cover Mona Fastvold's ‘The Testament of Ann Lee,' starring Amanda Seyfried, which they found incredibly ambitious and strange but also wonderfully complex and mature (51:39). Finally, Sean is joined by Fastvold to explain what attracted her to the story of Ann Lee and the Shaker movement; talk through the process of cowriting the screenplay with her husband, Brady Corbet; and discuss how she's able to make epic stories with lower-budget independent filmmaking (1:01:56).

Nick is joined by film critics Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy for the first round of new movie reviews of 2026, and they jump right into a mixed bag of releases. The conversation covers the fourth entry in the horror franchise with 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, the historical musical drama The Testament of Ann Lee starring Amanda Seyfried, and the gritty cop thriller The Rip featuring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. They also get into the urban vampire thriller Night Patrol and a few other titles, with plenty of honest reactions along the way. Before wrapping up, Erik and Steve look ahead to their upcoming trip to the Sundance Film Festival and what they're hoping to see this year. Things get sillier when Esmeralda Leon joins in and a couple of new voicemails roll in about the McRib lawsuit. That opens the door to a free-for-all discussion about some of the dumbest lawsuits ever filed, and why the fictional but highly confident Esmaolas Law Firm is clearly ready to take them all on and somehow win every case. [Ep 421]

Fresh off a flight from LA, Vogue's cover star, Amanda Seyfried is back in New York and on The Run Through to talk about award season!“I will say my favorite part … was being at the A24 party at the Chateau,” says Seyfried reflecting on the Golden Globes that happened Sunday evening.  “I was just on the couch with a bunch of people that I like and don't ever see except at award shows.” Seyfried says she was surprised when a conversation in the Golden Globes ballroom with Jennifer Lawrence was picked up by cameras. “There are still moments when I forget that people are watching it,” says Seyfried. “It was a little bit unnerving when I saw that because I just believed, I guess, stupidly that it was a private conversation.” Seyfried was a two-time nominee at the ceremony for her roles in the Testament on Ann Lee and the television series Long Bright River. With award season in full swing, she's been working closely with her stylist Elizabeth Stewart to make sure she is red carpet ready. “We've been wearing a lot of Prada and we decided to wear a Versace [to the Golden Globes], which is always trusted and beautiful and classic as well. Away from Hollywood, Seyfried's wardrobe is much more casual as she cares for 52 animals on her farm upstate. “I'll wear the big tall muck boots,” says Seyfried. “The ones you can't drive a car in 'cause your foot can't reach the pedal.” Her animals include peacocks, chickens, goats, horses, donkeys and a new rescue rabbit named Bugsy that is a bit stand-offish. “He could be 37 years-old.” says Seyfried. “ I have absolutely no idea. He's got a droopy wet eye. But he's very nice it seems.”  In The Testament of Ann Lee directed by Mona Fastvold, Seyfried plays the titular character who is credited with creating the Shaker religious community in the mid-18th century. “The Shakers worshiped through song and dance,” says Seyfried on the challenge of undertaking the role as their leader.“The singing had to be second nature.” says Seyfried on her performance. “But with singing, I've always been judging myself as I've been doing it. Even in Les Mis, I wasn't present the way I was. So I had to let go of that very early on. And the key to that was she's human and I need to feel it. It's not about how it sounds. It's about how it feels. And I need the audience to become a Shaker for two and a half hours.”While promoting the film, Seyfried's 8 year-old daughter Nina was introduced to one of her mother's earlier roles in the cult classic Mean Girls. “She said that she didn't think it was that funny,” recalls Seyfried. “but she really loved my role. That was Nina's critique of Mean Girls at age eight.”The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.
