Podcast appearances and mentions of Naomi Ackie

Live, die, repeat. According to Decider's John Serba, “It's 2054, and human cloning is a thing now. Not a legal thing, mind you, and that's why icky politicians are doing the offshore-account thing and hauling their human-generating 3D printers into outer space to colonize other planets since—big shocker here—Earth is increasingly uninhabitable.” They say cats have nine lives, but Robert Pattinson has 18. It's the latest wakadoo spectacle from master director Bong Joon ho. It's Mickey 17.

This week, we review Boots Riley's sophomore feature, I Love Boosters, an absurdist comedy skewering capitalist rot at the center of the fashion industry. An enthusiastic reflection of Riley's own politics, I Love Boosters features an infectious display of surrealist humor, eye-popping visuals, and labor-of-love practical effects; but is it enough to cover its everything-and-the-kitchen-sink approach? We discuss the movie, go on a Star Wars tangent, and give an update on our Summer Box Office Wager.

In this episode, we review the 2026 crime comedy I Love Boosters, the second film written and directed by Boots Riley, starring Keke Palmer, Naomi Ackie, Taylour Paige, LaKeith Stanfield, and Demi Moore. We discuss whether this film is a strong follow-up to his well-received movie Sorry to Bother You. We also debate whether his writing style remains unique and entertaining without becoming too over-the-top or preachy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As the fledgling New Republic works to protect everything the Rebellion fought for, they enlist the help of legendary Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin and his young apprentice Grogu.

 Mindframes Show Notes I Love Boosters (2026) — Episode 118 Directed by: Boots Riley Written by: Boots Riley Starring: Keke Palmer, Naomi Ackie, Taylour Paige, Poppy Liu, Eiza González, LaKeith Stanfield, Will Poulter, Don Cheadle, Demi Moore Cinematography: Natasha Braier Costume Design: Shirley Kurata Score: Tune-Yards Distributor: Neon IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt30827810/ Episode Summary In this episode of Mindframes, Michael and Dave discuss I Love Boosters (2026) — the sophomore feature from writer-director Boots Riley (Sorry to Bother You). And they didn't just watch it: Boots Riley was at their screening, making this a particularly special episode. The film follows the Velvet Gang, a crew of professional shoplifters — or "boosters" — led by Corvette (Keke Palmer), who steal high-end fashion and redistribute it to their community at affordable prices, calling it "fashion-forward philanthropy." Their target: Christie Smith (Demi Moore), a cutthroat fashion maven who has stolen Corvette's own designs and passed them off as her own. Michael and Dave dig into Riley's political vision and whether the film preaches or persuades, Keke Palmer's career-best performance, the stunning visual craft from cinematographer Natasha Braier and costume designer Shirley Kurata, and the film's surrealist escalation into sci-fi territory. The spoiler section tackles the film's central question head-on: can style — and collective action — actually be a revolutionary act? Michael gives the film 4 stars. Dave gives it 4.5 stars.

A group of shoplifters (Keke Palmer, Taylour Paige, Naomi Ackie) take aim at a ruthless fashion maven (Oscar-nominee Demi Moore) by stealing her clothes and reselling them at a lower price, partially out of revenge for her stealing several of their fashion designs.  This is the latest opus from writer/director Boots Riley (Sorry To Bother You) and that overall description doesn't really do it justice to the many crazy turns which this sci-fi/corporate satire takes.  The stacked cast also includes Lakeith Stanfield, Eiza Gonzalez, Poppy Liu, Will Poulter, and Don Cheadle.  Get ready for a wild, genre-defying ride!Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

It's our annual Oscars episode, with our resident Oscars Scholar, Denise Rodriguez*! Despite the fabulous "Sinners" getting a record 16 noms, we found some egregious snubs to discuss: Eva Victor, Naomi Ackie, and "Sorry, Baby"; Jesse Plemons for "Bugonia", Jennifer Lawrence and "Die My Love", to name a few. We get hot and heavy about the new casting category (only one man nominated here), "Sinners" and the other films/performances nominated that we loved. Plus, the perpetual injustice of the Diane Warren nomination, and why it's time for a Best Performance By a Non-Binary Actor category.  *Denise has recently launched an exciting new service: Menopause Doula! She explains that menopause starts much earlier than you might think. And traditional medicine is not cutting the mustard on diagnosis and treatment. Check out her website for more information and also connect with her and other middle-aged uterus owners on instagram and facebook.

In which the Mister joins me in reviewing THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB (2025), from a screenplay by Katy Brand and Suzanne Heathcote director Chris Columbus, and based on Richard Osman's book.  At the luxurious Cooper's Chase retirement village, four sharp and witty retirees—Elizabeth (Helen Mirren), Ron (Pierce Brosnan), Ibrahim (Ben Kingsley), and new member Joyce (Celia Imrie) — meet weekly as "The Thursday Murder Club" to casually solve cold cases.  Their amateur sleuthing turns serious when one of the property's developers, Tony Curran (Geoff Bell), is brutally murdered on their doorstep, followed soon after by the death of his business partner, Ian Ventham (David Tennant).  Using their unique skills and the assistance of a young, bored police constable (Naomi Ackie), the four friends set out to investigate the real-life whodunit, uncovering secrets that connect the present-day killings to a decades-old crime hidden within the retirement home's past.  The film clocks in at 1 h 58 m, is rated PG-13 and is currently available on Netflix.  Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.#TheThursdayMurderClub #RichardOsman #KatyBrand #SuzanneHeathcote   #ChrisColumbus #HelenMirren #Elizabeth #PierceBrosnan #Ron #BenKingsley #Ibrahim #CeliaImrie #Joyce #NaomiAckie #Donna #JonathanPryce #Stephen #TomEllis #Jason #GeoffBell #Tony #NeilTennant #Ian #HenryLloydHughes #Bogdan #DanielMays #DCIHudson #RichardEGrant #Bobby #IngridOliver #Joanna #JosephMarcell #FatherMackie #MartinBishop #Bernard #RuthSheen #Maud #SusanKirby #Penny #PaulFreeman #John  #Comedy #Crime #Whodunit #Mystery #Thriller  ⁠@Netflix  #FridayFamilyFilmNightOpening intro music: GOAT by Wayne Jones, courtesy of YouTube Audio Library

Sorry Baby is a movie that makes no apologies. No apologies for how moved you'll be by its depiction of a character (and her cat) working through their trauma in a wintry Massachusetts town. No apologies how for much you'll laugh in a film that for all extents and purposes is a tale of sexual assault. And no apologies for how ambitious it is – playing with time and playing with chronology. Which is why we're excited to welcome onto the show this week, the one and only Eva Victor, the film's writer, director and star.Until this impressive debut feature, Eva was best known for a series of online videos – videos that eventually caught the attention of one Barry Jenkins, director of Moonlight and one of the first ever guests on Script Apart. Spotting a flair for comedy and observations about the human condition in those viral shorts, the story goes that Barry reached out to Eva inviting them to send him a screenplay that his production company might be able to produce. What Eva came back with was a tale of a college student whose life is upended by a bruising betrayal of trust by their academic mentor. When we meet them years later, the film's protagonist, Agnes – played by Eva – seems to be trapped in carbonite by those events, while all manner of change and chrysalis cruelly occurs around her. Their best friend, Lydie, played by Naomi Ackie, is gliding through milestones in her life. The world is moving on. Agnes, meanwhile, still has a way to go in putting the past behind them. In the spoiler-filled conversation you're about to hear, Eva and Al get under the skin of that captivating character. They tell us about how the initial idea for Sorry Baby involved a character who habitually attended court hearings. We get into the film's non-linear structure and its mirroring of how recovery from assault is a journey full of movement back and forwards in time. We also discuss the scenes cut from their shooting script that would have made for a quite different movie – including a non-sequitor sequence involving two random guys talking about sandwiches for two minutes in the middle of one of the movie's most important scenes, and an earlier encounter with Pete, the sandwich shop owner with whom Agnes shares a pivotal moment of quiet human co-existence, in the film's beautiful third act.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

It's been a number of months since we saw this one, but we did cover Bong Joon Ho's Mickey 17 back in March. Director Bong follows up his masterpiece Parasite (2019) with this sci-fi dark comedy starring Robert Pattinson as Mickey. Warner Bros. gave Bong over $100 million to make this movie, and unfortunately, it was a commercial flop with middling reviews. Our takes on it were quite middling as well. Set in the year 2054, the plot follows a man who joins a space colony as an "Expendable", a disposable worker who is cloned every time he dies. It features a good cast, including Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Patsy Ferran, Cameron Britton, Daniel Henshall, Stephen Park, Anamaria Vartolomei, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo. The film is currently streaming on HBO Max, if you wish to fire it up!

Naomi Ackie is an incredible actor! You know her from Mickey 17, Blink Twice, I Wanna Dance with Somebody, The End of the F***cking World, and of course, the new film from A24 Sorry, Baby, which is in theaters nationwide NOW (that is, run, don't walk, to your nearest cineplex, folks!). So, she's one of the best treading the boards of the silver screen, but guess what? She's also a rad person! We talk about growing up in a household prone to being fiery, her first real longterm relaysh, anxiety on set and in real life, the benefits of EMDR, and of course, if the food in the UK has gotten worse since Brexit... plus SO MUCH MORE!

In this episode, author Edward Ashton joins me to discuss the film Mickey 17, directed by Bong Joon Ho, based on Edward's book Mickey 7. The film and the book series explores themes of unfettered capitalism, whether or not people have souls, and the theoretical possibilities of colonizing other planets. In an earlier episode, I interviewed Edward Ashton about his book Mickey 7 and the sequel Antimatter Blues. At the time he had told me that Brad Pitt had picked up the rights to his film for Warner Brothers starring Robert Pattinson in the title role and costarring Toni Collete, Naomi Ackie, and Mark Ruffalo. Now that Edward is free from the NDAs he had signed during filming, we are able to discuss the exciting process of seeing his book turned into a new creative work.

Bong Joon Ho (Snowpiercer, The Host) returns from his Oscar triumph five years ago with his first directorial effort since his worldwide smash Parasite, which remains the ONLY foreign language film to ever win the Oscar for Best Picture.  This time around, he's directing a high concept sci-fi comedy adventure taking place in the future focusing on Mickey (Robert Pattinson) who works as an "Expendable" for a growing organization looking to colonize a snowy desolate planet.  His job entails being used as a tester of various hostile environments, new viruses, potential vaccines, and any number of deadly situations which can occur on said planet.  The key to his survival is that he doesn't survive most of these ordeals....they have the technology to simply clone him again to restart the process. :o And hilarity ensues!  Also among this stacked cast are Naomi Ackie, Mark Ruffalo, Toni Collette, and Steven Yuen.  For Mickey, it's time to find out if the 17th time's the Charm. ;) Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Kelsi and Trey dive into Mickey 17, Bong Joon-ho's most ambitious but messiest film yet—a sci-fi satire packed with class commentary, genre chaos, and existential dread, but also plagued by tonal inconsistency, underdeveloped themes, and what maybe feels like studio interference. We break down the good (Robert Pattinson's delightfully weird dual performance, the darkly hilarious death montage, and some great satire on labor exploitation), the bad (a scattered third act, underbaked supporting characters like Naomi Ackie's Nasha and Steven Yeun's Timo, and an underwhelming visual style), and the frustrating (a possible scrapped twist about Mark Ruffalo's character, weird pacing issues, and the sense that Warner Bros. meddled with the final cut). Plus, we discuss why the Hunger Games-style YA dystopian vibe isn't necessarily a bad thing, and how ironic it is that people are mad a movie about corporate exploitation lost a corporate giant millions of dollars.The Extra Credits YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Become a member of The Extra Credits+ on Patreon ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠How to link Patreon to Spotify and Apple⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Letterboxd: ⁠The Extra Credits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: The Extra Credits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Reddit: r/TheExtraCredits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠@theextracredits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter: ⁠@theextracredits⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Send requests, questions, and thoughts to our email: extracreditspod@gmail.com

If you thought one Robert Pattinson was good, wait 'til you see two of them in "Mickey 17."  We couldn't wait to review the latest sci-fi/satire extravaganza from the great South Korean auteur Bong Joon Ho, his first film since the historic Oscar wins of his 2019 masterpiece, "Parasite." But while we both enjoyed Pattinson's dual performances, we're split on how effective "Mickey 17" is as a whole. Co-starring Steven Yeun, Naomi Ackie, Mark Ruffalo and Toni Collette. In theaters now. Then we had a lot to talk about during our regular Friday Movie News LIVE!: Oscar follow-ups, the start of South by Southwest, John Mulaney's "Everybody's Live" on Netlix and more.

For this week's main podcast review, Josh Parham, Giovanni Lago, Brendan Hodges, Tom O'Brien, and I are here to discuss and review the latest film from Academy Award-winning South Korean filmmaking Bong Joon Ho, his much-anticipated follow-up to his historic Best Picture Oscar-winning film, "Parasite," an adaptation of the 2022 sci-fi novel "Mickey 7," titled "Mickey 17," starring Robert Pattinson, Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo. After numerous delays, clashes with Warner Bros., and the highest budget Bong has ever had to work with, the film had a ton of skepticism heading into it but received positive reviews following its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival.

Don't call it a comeback. This week's episode of the Empire Podcast sees Pamela Anderson, star of Baywatch and Barb Wire, sit down with Alex Godfrey to tell him about how Gia Coppola's The Last Showgirl has given her a second chance in Hollywood. [23:46 - 38:29 approx] Our other interview sees Mickey 17 (out next Friday, fact fans!) star Naomi Ackie talk to Helen O'Hara about working with Bong Joon Ho and multiple Robert Pattinsons, and coming to terms with fame. [1:05:30 - 1:19:50 approx] And both Alex and Helen are also in the podbooth this week, joining Chris Hewitt and James Dyer to talk about the greatest movie monkeys, take an impromptu Kathy Kennedy quiz, and review The Last Showgirl and Sky Cinema Original, Fight Or Flight. And the team also bid a sad farewell to some souls who left us far too soon this week — Michelle Trachtenberg, Roberto Orci, and the great Gene Hackman, who passed away along with his wife, Betsy Arakawa. A full Hackman tribute will appear in next week's podcast, but for now, the team recommend the movies they would watch as a tribute to his Gene-ius. [Episode 657]
