This week, Hannah Diviney joins us to discuss 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' which was made before she was born. HA! Expect a whole lot of Hugh Grant floppy hair chat, swooning over Kristen Scott Thomas and a HILARIOUS story about a Rowan Atkinson misunderstanding. Hannah is a writer, disability advocate, actress, screenwriter, author, media personality and loveable overachiever (I added the last bit) and it was such a pleasure to hear her insights in this conversation. Hannah writes a weekly Substack called Hannah's Secret Internet Diary - full of personal stories, pop culture and social commentary. You can check it out here Hosted on Acast.

Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) Directed by Mike Newell Written by Richard Curtis Starring Hugh Grant, Andie MacDowell, Kristen Scott Thomas, Rowan Atkinson, John Hannah Release Date April 15th, 1994 Lovable Englishman Charles (Hugh Grant) and his group of friends seem to be unlucky in love. When Charles meets a beautiful American named Carrie (Andie MacDowell) at a wedding, he thinks his luck may have changed. But, after one magical night, Carrie returns to the States, ending what might have been. As Charles and Carrie's paths continue to cross -- over a handful of nuptials and one funeral -- he comes to believe they are meant to be together, even if their timing always seems to be off.

It's the Alternative Oscars! AKA the Anders and Adam-emy Awards: Each episode we pick a different year in Oscars history and attempt to correct the record, stripping the undeserving of their garlands while recognizing those who were cruelly overlooked. This time, we will be casting our eye back to… the 69th Academy Awards. It was held March 24th 1997 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California and hosted by Billy Crystal. The big winner that night was Anthony Minghella's epic romance The English Patient starring Ralph Fiennes, Willem Dafoe, Kristen Scott Thomas and Juliette Binoche, who went home with a Best Supporting Actress Oscar that night. It won 9 Oscars out of its 12 nominations including Best Picture and Best Director. It won over films like Fargo, Secrets & Lies, Jerry Maguire and Shine. Did it deserve to win?

We review the Best Picture winner from 1997, The English Patient, staring Ralph Fiennes, Kristen Scott Thomas and Juliette Binoche.

Actor, activist, and Story + Rain cover star Freida Pinto, known for acclaimed films such as Slumdog Millionaire and Trishna, returns to the screen this summer in the delightful Mr. Malcolm's List, a movie that shakes up what we've come to know as the period genre in film. The new mother is fiercely focused when it comes to her work, and in episode 106, Freida explains how and why her production company, Freebird Films, seeks out projects that allow her to tell stories that “angle towards hope”---they're about to make some big moves. Listen in as Freida discusses the stories she believes are lacking on the screen, how she prepares for a role, her desire to step far out of herself for them, and her preference to remain on the go, on any given project. You'll hear intimate stories about the many prolific directors she's worked with like Ron Howard, Danny Boyle, Terrence Malick, and Woody Allen---as well as what it's like working with first-time director, actor Kristen Scott Thomas, on My Mother's Wedding, which she is currently shooting, co-starring Scarlett Johansson and Sienna Miller---one of the most fun casts she's ever been a part of. Freida talks about her most taxing roles, shares stories from set and the valued relationships she's created there, including a surprisingly sweet story about Sir Anthony Hopkins. We talk motherhood, her work with postpartum plan and brand, Anya, and what it's like to be part of a creative couple. We get into details about Mr. Malcolm's List, her latest film, out on July 1st. We cover everything from its modern and inclusive international vibe, to the notion of having a checklist when looking for a partner, and how and when she's created one for herself. We go back to the beginning: her school days, her modeling days (and why she disliked it), and all things her very first film and smash hit, 2008's Slumdog Millionaire. Inspiration, living internationally, how series and film have converged, and more.

Welcome to Bittersweet Symphony, a podcast about the bitter, the sweet and the bittersweet of life for classical musicians when the music suddenly stopped. Hosted and produced by me, Cliodhna Ryan, a violinist, it's an intimate and heart-warming exploration of the human spirit. My guest in episode thirteen is oboist Dan Bates, my colleague in the Irish Chamber Orchestra. After an initial sense of exhilaration in the first few weeks of lockdown, Dan shares his experience of a crushing depression, the treatment he was offered, and the impact this had on him. His sweet memory is of the three chickens he reared; Anastasia, Garbo and Clemmie Bunting. His bitter was witnessing the effect of lockdowns on his Mum. This conversation was recorded in September 2021. Daniel Bates (MA CANTAB, FRSM, FTCL, ARAM, AGSMD) is principal oboe with the Irish Chamber Orchestra, the City of London Sinfonia and co-principal oboe of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.

He has played guest principal for all the major UK orchestras as well as various international orchestras such as the National Orchestra of Colombia, the Swedish Chamber Orchestra, the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra and the West Australian Symphony Orchestra. As a session musician, he has recorded for numerous pop acts and films, including the Harry Potter franchise and for Barbra Streisand, Mary J Blige, Rihanna and Stevie Wonder. Born in London, Daniel attended the Purcell School of Music. He was subsequently offered scholarships to every music college in the country and chose to study at the Royal Academy of Music under Celia Nicklin and Dougie Boyd. This was followed by a music scholarship to study at Pembroke College, Cambridge, where he read Music and the History of Art. He has performed solo concertos with the London Symphony Orchestra, the City of London Sinfonia, the Irish Chamber Orchestra, the Brasov Filharmonica, the Turin Philharmonic Orchestra, the London Mozart Players and the English Chamber Orchestra. Solo recitals include venues such as the Wigmore Hall, the Queen Elizabeth Hall, the Usher Hall and the Purcell Room. Internationally, he has given solo recitals in venues such as the Pushkin Museum in Moscow and at various European festivals partnered with musicians of international renown including Jörg Widmann, Elizabeth Leonskaya, Joan Rodgers and Anthony Marwood.

Critics Sarah Crompton and Abir Mukherjee review Slow Horses, the brand new series from Apple TV+ starring Gary Oldman, Kristen Scott Thomas, Olivia Cooke, Jack Lowden, Saskia Reeves and Jonathan Pryce. Slow Horses is based on the novel of the same name by Mick Herron, which is part of the author's Slough House series. It tells the story of a team of British intelligence agents who have all committed career-ending mistakes, and subsequently work in a dumping ground department of MI5 called Slough House. New ballet film Coppelia is an innovative family feature with an original score by Maurizio Malagnini, performed by the BBC Concert Orchestra. Choreographed by Dutch National Ballet artistic director Ted Brandsen, it combines 2D and 3D animation with live action dance and features a blend of musical influences from classical to electronic. Based on the original 19th century tales of E.T.A. Hoffmann this modern adaptation tells the love story between Swan and Franz, which is jeopardised by Dr. Coppelius and his uncannily beautiful protégée Coppelia. With a diverse and world-class cast, including Michaela DePrince, Darcey Bussell, Daniel Camargo, Vito Mazzeo and Irek Mukhamedov, the adaptation is created by filmmakers Jeff Tudor, Steven De Beul and Ben Tesseur.

As Oscar and Diggory prepare to head off to their first ever friends wedding, there seems no better excuse to review One Red Nose Day and a Wedding (Mike Newell, 2019).

"I've heard you help people with horse problems," says Kristen Scott Thomas' character in the film ‘The Horse Whisperer,' to which Robert Redford's character replies: “Truth is, I help horses with people problems.” And that pretty much sums up this week's Armagh I podcast guest, Keith Mathews - albeit with a different species of animal. Keith, or, ‘The Dog Guru', as he is most famously known, has worked his magic with our favourite pets for over 25 years. He is one of the most sought after dog trainers and behaviourists in the world – and the Armagh man wouldn't wish for any other career. It all began for Keith in a field at his house where, as a child, he discovered his innate gift for understanding dog behaviour and his ability to train the family dogs.

Is it at all possible to come to the suspenseful and gothic heights of what Alfred Hitchcock and producer David O. Selznick achieved with their (Best Picture winning) achievement in 1940? Ben Wheatley, the idiosyncratic and very off-kilter genre director behind such films as Free Fire, A Field in England and Kill List, decided to aim as high as he could with his first Netflix production, and the results.... Well, let's just say Manderley could still use a paint job.... No, seriously, can we be at all kind? With a cast like Armie Hammer and Kristen Scott Thomas? Surely they'll come to bat and hit some grand slams against the Master of Suspense? In other words, we watched Rebecca, starring Joan Fontaine, Laurence Olivier, George Sanders and Judith Anderson, and Rebecca starring Lily James and ::squints:: Sam Riley, and this is our first "Versus" episode in quite a while. Oh, and Spoilers abound for both films so be warned. email us at wagesofcinema@gmail.com

This week on 'Avid Watchers,' Adam and Mary Kate discuss the 2020 Netflix film 'Rebecca' starring Lily James, Armie Hammer, and Kristen Scott Thomas. The film follows a young newlywed who arrives at her husband's imposing family estate on a windswept English coast and finds herself battling the shadow of his first wife, Rebecca, whose legacy lives on in the house long after her death. MK and Adam agree that 'Rebecca' features great costumes, sets, and actors, but mainly, it's a hot mess. *This podcast contains spoilers. Hosts: Mary Kate Tschida and Adam Nix

Mario and Tom talk about the new version of "Rebecca," directed by Ben Wheatley and starring Armie Hammer, Lily James, Kristen Scott Thomas. Now playing on the Netflix.

On your marks! We had some tech issues on our Kingdom of the Crystal Skull ep so we'll have to re-do that one later in the year. We forge ahead this week to 1999's Random Hearts!

Henry V is one of Shakespeare's grandest and most legendary plays, partly because it depicts the stunning historical victories of one of England's greatest kings, but also because Shakespeare skillfully weaves so many universal themes into the events of this play. From masculinity and warfare and what makes a great king to death and the loyalty of friends, Shakespeare takes what is essentially nothing more than a grand war-filled saga and imbues it with depth and meaning that the siege of Harfleur or the Battle of Agincourt don't hold on their own. The end result is a complex story that glorifies war at the same time that it calls it into question, in that way that it seems only great literature can do. ** Mea culpa: It's not Emma Thompson but Kristen Scott Thomas in the episode of Fleabag referenced by Lindsay in this episode.

We're entering the 1990s and returning to the realm of TV movies with this one! Oh wait, sorry, it's not TV... it's HBO. Jeff Goldblum and Kristen Scott Thomas star in the directorial debut of Dean Parisot (GALAXY QUEST, BILL AND TED FACE THE MUSIC) - it's a crime comedy heist movie about art forgery called FRAMED!

Kristen Scott Thomas (“Tomb Raider”) stars in “Military Wives,” a gentle comedy based on a true story about the spouses of British soldiers who try to cope with their husbands’ absence by forming a choir. It’s directed by Peter Cattaneo, best known for “The Full Monty.”

Two things we love in life are horses and shirtless men. We also love Scarlett Johansson but NOT the underage version we find in THE HORSE WHISPERER. This is something Sam Rockwell needed to hear again twenty-two years ago as his little indie film LAWN DOGS went up yet another western epic from Robert Redford. And since Mr. Rockwell is presumably one of the many listeners we have let this episode be a gentle reminder of appropriate relationships between a simple landscaper and a young misanthrope. We also did not care for the hair of Kristen Scott Thomas. But she probably doesn't listen. Enjoy!

Quick Cap #5: Fleabag monologues, Jessica Simpson's new book, Brit Marling's NYT essay, and Natalie Portman claps back at Rose McGowan **We can’t get enough of Fleabag. There were two monologues from Season Two that didn’t fit into our standard format -- we tried to let them go, but we couldn't. Kate applauds the relatability of the speech on womanhood delivered by Kristen Scott Thomas on women's awards and women's pain. “Hair IS everything!” Fleabag says to Anthony after Claire gets a bad haircut -- and yes, Fleabag, we totally hear you. Carinn gets personal about her emotional hair journey, including cutting off seven inches of her own hair with some kitchen shears a few weeks ago. - **We dissect the New York Times Opinion piece (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/07/opinion/sunday/brit-marling-women-movies.html) by Brit Marling with the incendiary title, “I Don’t Want To Be The Strong Female Lead”. We couldn’t resist this teaser: “In pop culture, women are often objectified and disposed of. But even when we’re not being victimized, the alternative leaves much to be desired.” We unpack Brit’s fascinating journey from Goldman Sachs to Netflix darling The OA, and of course find a way to compare Brit's ideas of the hero's journey to Fleabag and Erica Barry from Something’s Gotta Give. We also dig DEEP into what it means to have masculine and feminine traits, pulling from astrology, Chinese philosophy and Tantric tradition. (19:57) - **We recount the Natalie Portman vs. Rose McGowan ( https://m.eonline.com/news/1122437/rose-mcgowan-slams-natalie-portman-s-deeply-offensive-oscars-outfit) Oscar’s feud over Natalie’s dress with a shout-out to the names of the snubbed female directors.

I met Michael a few months ago at a small event I was invited to by a dear friend. During the event, Michael was sharing about the work he does through Aebeze Labs, and Moodrise. I was intrigued by Michael's charisma and witty commentary on the current digital landscape. He was joined by Devendra Banhardt, who is involved in the project as a collaborating artist. What I loved about Moodrise is that they are creating digital nutrition, or content that is scientifically proven to enhance your mood, and they are co-creating this beautiful multimedia content with talented artists like Devendra Banhart, Kristen Scott Thomas, Daisy Lewis, or JD Samson. I was inspired by Michael’s work, his brilliant perspective on technology, and mental health, and the way we he is tastefully weaving art into the equation. In this interview, We talk about our relationship with media and technology; the ways we can use technology in our daily lives to our advantage, and not our detriment. I hope you enjoy this conversation, and it might even shift the way you interact with technology, for the best.
