Why does discussing the overlooked 1991 classic “Dead Again” feel like we’re living a past life? Maybe it’s the shock of seeing young Sir Kenneth Branagh (attempting a weird American accent) and Dame Emma Thompson. Maybe it’s Sir Derek Jacobi making us wonder if that stutter is an “I, Claudius” reference. Maybe it’s the whole romantic fantasy thing, with a Hitchcockian past intruding on a 1990s present.

For decades, illustrator Axel Scheffler has been keeping children and adults around the world entertained with his warm and witty illustrations, from the Gruffalo and Stick Man to worms with attitude, gobbly goats and smart giants. He has published more than 150 books, including collaborations with writer Julia Donaldson that have become modern-day classics, translated into dozens of languages and selling millions of copies. Axel was born in Hamburg in Germany and moved to the UK in his twenties, where he has been based ever since. We join him in his attic studio perched high above a leafy part of west London, where he is hard at work on his latest project. This one centres not on a fantastical creature with terrible teeth and terrible claws, but on a small, slightly scruffy dog who may or may not have played a role in the creation of London's Victoria and Albert Museum. Writer and actor Dame Emma Thompson has conjured up the story and we eavesdrop on a rare conversation between the two - rare because Axel generally doesn't collaborate directly with his writers. Axel also allows us to witness his unique process, from pencil sketch to finished illustration, as he creates a scene from the new book before our ears.

Thompson is in Australia to promote her new film Good Luck To You, Leo Grande a wryly comic two-hander directed by Australia's Sophie Hyde, where she plays 60-ish widow Nancy Stokes, a retired religion teacher who has never had an orgasm. She and Marwick discussed the harm caused by depictions of conventional on-screen romance and how women "were sold a pup" about being able to juggle domestic life, motherhood and careers. "I think the 'you can have it all' thing was not only cruel but also utterly untrue, and I think we need to really re-examine all of this because it's all landed once again on our shoulders," Thompson told Marwick.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Good Luck To You, Leo Grande is a fantastic new British movie that sees Dame Emma Thompson and Daryl McCormack spend a lot of time together in a hotel room. So that's exactly what we made them do again this week, with Ella Kemp (making her Empire Podcast debut) talking to the stars of Sophie Hyde's movie about an ageing woman who, having had very few positive sexual experiences, hires a sex worker (McCormack), and complications ensue. The film is frank, funny, and insightful, and their chat with Ella is similarly so, featuring Dame Emma's reminiscences about The Tall Guy, and one of the best answers we've ever had on the podcast. Hint: it features an Oscar. Then, in the podbooth this week, Chris Hewitt is joined by James Dyer and, for the first time in ages, Helen O'Hara, and truth be told, being reunited makes them go a little doolally. So, in-between answering a listener question about the film sets they've accidentally stumbled upon in a non-professional capacity, they talk about Helen's Wikipedia page, and Chris and Helen educate James about the history of the Giant's Causeway. They also discuss actual films at some point, including the week's movie news, including Lady Gaga possibly joining Joker 2 (which may be a musical???), the announcement of the Paddington 3 director, and their feelings about the official title of Knives Out 2: Benoit Boogaloo. In the reviews section, they run their eye over Good Luck To You, Leo Grande, Spiderhead, Everything Went Fine, and Last Seen Alive, and Sophie Butcher goes to infinity and beyond to help everyone get to grips with Pixar's Lightyear.

Oscar-winner Dame Emma Thompson on women's pleasure and full frontal nudity in her latest acting role in Good Luck To You, Leo Grande. Are you a 'flusher' or a ‘binner'? New research says 2.4 million tampons are flushed down UK toilets every day leading to sewer blockages and pollution. We talk to Martha Silcott who's developed a simple product to encourage you to bin and Daisy Buchanan who says more needs to be done to make a product which flushes without causing environmental harm. In 2017 surgeon Ian Paterson was jailed for 20 years after being found guilty of 17 counts of wounding with intent. Mr Paterson was diagnosing cancer when there wasn't any and cutting his patients open for no reason, performing unnecessary and damaging surgery. He also carried out unregulated "cleavage-sparing" mastectomies, in which breast tissue was left behind, meaning cancer returned in many of his patients. Ahead of a new ITV documentary Emma speaks to the whistleblower who raised concerns about Ian Paterson – Mr Hemant Ingle, and one of Paterson's victims Debbie Douglas, who is still campaigning for a change in the law to prevent anything like this from happening again. 50 years ago this month the first edition of the iconic feminist magazine Spare Rib was published. Also in that year - 1972 – and inspired by its founders, Rosie Boycott and Marsha Rowe, Carmen Callil founded the book publisher Virago which still gives a voice and platform to female writers today.

Oscar-winner Dame Emma Thompson has graced our screens for four decades. As an actor, she's played all kinds of women, from her role as Elinor Dashwood in Sense and Sensibility to her heart-breaking Karen in Christmas favourite, Love Actually. But now she's taking on a different kind of acting role. Good Luck To You, Leo Grande tells the story of Nancy Stokes, a 55-year-old widow (played by Thompson) who decides to hire a significantly younger male sex worker, played by the Irish actor, Daryl McCormack. She joins Emma to talk about women's pleasure, full frontal nudity and the #MeToo movement. If you're a woman and you have a baby it's going to cost you £70,000 in lost earnings over the next decade. That's according to new research from the Social Market Foundation which is setting up a cross party commission to tackle the spiralling costs of childcare. Emma talks to Director of the Foundation James Kirkup about its findings, and one woman working as a senior mental health nurse who says she takes home just £100 per month after childcare costs. We also get the view of the Early Years Alliance, a charity that represents child minders, nurseries and pre-schools. Since 2009, the artist Kirstie MacLeod has been working on The Red Dress project. Pieces of this burgundy silk dress have travelled around the world to be embroidered by women, many of whom have been marginalised or live in poverty. It's given them a platform and an opportunity to share their story and identity. After 13 years, 46 countries and 343 embroiderers, the dress is finally complete.

Last month, footballer Marcus Rashford wrote an open letter to MPs calling for them to continue funding free schools meals during the summer holidays. He called for support to a petition started by teenage campaigner Christina Adane, and within hours, the Government responded. All children eligible for free school meals in term time in England would benefit from the ‘Covid summer food fund’. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland would also continue with voucher programmes. But funding would stop, Boris Johnson confirmed, after the summer. So what then? In this programme, Sheila Dillon is joined by two young campaigners on child food poverty Jani Clarke and Shane Robinson who've been hearing from young people across the UK with first-hand experiences of food poverty in their communities. They explain how the Covid-19 pandemic has affected home life and access to nutritious food. And why they are working with food campaigning charity The Food Foundation to demand more action from the UK government in their updated Right2Food charter. Sheila also asks actor and campaigner Dame Emma Thompson on why she's calling for the Government to listen to these young people. Deputy Mayor of London for Social Integration, Social Mobility and Community Engagement Debbie Weekes-Bernard explains how the pandemic has affected opportunities for families living in food poverty, and journalist Louise Tickle describes the potential long term impact on children’s' access to education and opportunities should food poverty figures rise in the UK.

Beanie Feldstein Steps Out Of Her Comfort Zone — And Into Her Childhood Bedroom Did you know it’s possible to be good at Zoom? Beanie Feldstein is remarkably easy to video chat with: constantly making eye contact, ready to smile, eager to make you laugh. Yes, she is an actor and a self-described extrovert, lover of people, and human teddy bear (the last one is her Instagram bio). Still, it’s uncanny to feel warmth through a laptop screen. Five minutes into the interview, she throws off her pastel, ribboned headband. We have both admitted it’s nice not to have to wear pants anymore to work. “I feel very, very, very grateful every day that I wake up feeling fine,” Feldstein says of our current reality. “I’m just trying to be thoughtful because I feel like that is the only thing you can really do. Just follow the rules strictly and then also bring attention to people that are helping.” It can be hard to promote art when you’re overwhelmed by a never-ending pandemic news cycle, but Feldstein, 26, is gamely talking about her latest film, How to Build a Girl, an adaptation of the Caitlin Moran novel. I ask what it was like to work on another movie about teen girlhood and the importance of friendship, a genre Feldstein mastered in Lady Bird and Booksmart. Feldstein says that it’s really a movie about forgiving yourself for mistakes and the inherent bravery in allowing yourself to change, again and again. The part of Johanna, her first leading role, has her in casual sex montages, cutting co-stars down to size, and wearing a plastic bag as an improvised bikini. (The role is also how she met girlfriend Bonnie Chance Roberts, a producer of the film and whom Feldstein has described as her first love.) “So many things made me nervous [on this film],” she says, “but whenever I got nervous, I just was like, ‘If someone had been brave enough, or had been given the opportunity, to make this and I could have seen it at 14, I would have been changed. Or I would’ve felt more accepted or more at ease way earlier in my life.” It’s not that Johanna is queer, Feldstein explains, it’s “how unapologetically the film lets her be sexual.” “I’m a very loving person, but I am known to be a bit prude,” she says. Seeing a sex scene or a particularly breast-forward outfit on the call sheet took Feldstein out of her comfort zone, but it also put her right inside Johanna’s reckless teenage head. “It took a lot to navigate those hurdles,” she says. “I feel really proud of myself because I’ve never really considered myself a brave person, but that was brave.” Two months into social distancing, recounting Johanna’s rock and roll escapades feels very far away from our current reality of FaceTiming friends for happy hour from our living rooms. Feldstein is currently back at home with her parents and staying in her childhood bedroom, followed around the house by Jackie the bulldog. I can see a bit of the white poster bed behind her, and the desk where she used to do homework is now her office. When I ask how she’s been coping, Feldstein mentions Little Fires Everywhere as well as Ozark, a series she and her mother, costume designer Sharon Feldstein, have been savoring, allowing themselves one episode per day. “We just look forward to that time every night when we’re like, ‘We get to go back to Missouri!’” Watching television is mostly escapism, and a little bit homework. “I want to take notes while I watch Ozark,” she says, half joking. “Can I Zoom a lesson with one of [the actors]?” For some 20-somethings, it would be unbearable to undergo a major professional breakthrough while retreating to the confines of childhood, but Feldstein seems to be closely in touch with her inner teen. She has favorite numbers, which she will not disclose except to say that she did spot them on a building near where How to Build a Girl was filming. Seeing them, even for a second, gave her a very good feeling. She describes acting alongside “the legendary, the queen Dame Emma Thompson” as an out-of-body experience. (“She came in wearing overalls and brought the entire crew chocolate, and it was honestly a day out of my wildest dreams.”) Besides, having one foot in the realm of girlhood gives you access to the most powerful emotions on the planet. “The most nervous I was the whole shoot was to deliver the ending monologue. [Johanna] talks about the magic of teenage girls [in it], and it always makes me teary and emotional when I think about it,” she says. I ask if she thinks it’s a bit like the concept of human beings as Russian nesting dolls, different version of ourselves all nestled together in one body, and she agrees. People aren’t static. Just when we think we know ourselves, we change again. “Acknowledge your mistakes and fold them into the identity of who you are, but they don’t have to define that identity,” she summarizes. “I so needed to hear that lesson,” she says, smiling. “And continue to hear that lesson.” Beanie Feldstein shot virtually by Tory Rust at home assisted by Sharon Feldstein.

Her take on the subtle yet ferocious power of hormones quietly blew our minds.Emma's astute ability to understand human behaviour is astonishing, and at times she becomes our therapist fit to rival Esther Perel.We hope this conversation inspires you, gets your brain box buzzing, and helps you (just a little) to come back to what pleasure means to you.*We would love to continue the conversation and hear from you: email us at hello@thepleasurepodcast.com or tweet us @ThePleasurePod.Please do rate, review, and share the podcast, we hear it helps other people find us!*Social Media:Naomi Sheldon: @NaomiSheldon1Anand Patel: @therealdranandFollow us at @ThePleasurePod and visit us at www.thepleasurepodcast.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
