Podcasts about Summerhall

It's the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2026 series Elaine chats with perfromer Lee Minora about her new show Baby Everything. BABY EVERYTHING Summerhall, Tech Cube 0 Dates: 6 - 31 August (not 17, 24) Time: 10:10 (60 mins) Baby Everything Is it just me, or is all this fascism giving me a lump in my breast? Acclaimed Philadelphia comedian, performer and writer Lee Minora is Baby. Returning to Edinburgh for the first time since her “must-see satire” debut, White Feminist (2018), Lee Minora presents the UK premiere of her new solo show, Baby Everything, at Summerhall this August. Baby Everything is the morning doomscroll you actually want to wake up for, a razor-sharp, hilarious, helter-skelter interrogation of anxiety in the digital age. From the narcissistic comfort of a well-timed panic attack, to calling your mother a fascist and the relentless need to stay informed at all costs, no stone of modernity is left unturned. But audiences are not granted license to simply scroll the pain away, this show is, after all, IRL. Baby needs you to: give a professional breast exam; decide where you'd flee if your country fell apart and; if you're lucky, hold Baby at gunpoint.

WE'RE BACK!!! It's the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2026 series Elaine chats with performer Martha Knight about her show The King of All Birds. Joining Martha is her director Joy Nisbett who chats about The King of All Birds as well as Julius Ceasar Variety show which she has written and directed. Both shows run for the whole festival at Summerhall. The King of All Birds Summerhall, Former Gent's Locker Room Dates: 6 - 31 August (not 17, 24) Time: 13:40 (60 mins) The King of All Birds I'm going to do a few songs today. In about 60 minutes, we're going to crown a new king. And then, I'm going to fly. Award-winning Irish theatre-maker, sound designer and composer Martha Knight brings her critically acclaimed theatre show to Summerhall for its UK premiere. The King of All Birds blends sound, history and imagination to trace humanity's ever-evolving relationship with the sky - from a time when it lay untouched, through the earliest daring attempts to reach it, to today's relentless ascent up and up. Inspired by the societal phenomenon of aerial photographs displayed in homes across Ireland since the 1960s, The King of All Birds is a playful, tongue-in-cheek one-woman piece of gig theatre which expands this story, tracing Ireland's history from the great birds of Celtic folklore to our modern world of aeroplanes, satellites, and drones. Tracking this journey with the help of classic Irish folk song, Wild Mountain Thyme, performed via voice, musical instrument, and live electronics; Martha Knight tells a radically gentle story of Ireland, identity, and belonging. TICKET LINK Julius Caesar Variety Show Summerhall, Red Lecture Theatre Dates: 6 - 31 August (not 17, 24) Time: 16:45 (60 mins) Julius Caesar Variety Show A Black actor, a woman actor, and a straight white male actor walk into a Shakespeare audition… Acclaimed emerging writer-director Joy Nesbitt premieres her multi-award-nominated play, JULIUS CAESAR VARIETY SHOW, at Summerhall this August. This bold new play puts on the worst audition you've ever seen, asking: what happens when identity, ambition, and artistic authority collide under pressure? During the 2023 Dublin riot, a Black actor, a woman actor, and a straight white male actor audition for a part in Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Julius Caesar. The three auditionees attempt to impress a revered director set on reinventing the play in "unorthodox" styles - and as the audition unfolds, the actors' identities are called into the audition room and exploited for better performances. What begins as an audition quickly transforms into a battleground. As the director, aided by an ever-present accompanist, pushes the actors to their limits, questions of identity, authorship, and representation come sharply into focus. Performers and audiences alike must confront how their lived experience shapes not only their interpretation of the roles, but also the meaning of the play itself.

The latest Scots Whay Hae! podcast is the third of our Edinburgh Fringe Festival Previews, where Ali talks to a few of the artists who will be appearing at the festival this year.First of all, he spoke to writer and director Dante Passarelli about The Last Drop which is part of the São Paulo Showcase and which was nominated for Brazil's 2024 Shell Award for Best Playwriting. In the play, “A couple awaits a real estate agent to visit their historic but decayed apartment. A mould stain appears on the ceiling, revealing an unstoppable leak. A man is then called in to fix the ceiling but abruptly disappears.”Then performers, and directors, of One Fell Swoop Circus Jonathan Morgan and Charice Rust talk about their Fringe show By a Thread which “weaves virtuosic acrobatics through moments of confusion, hilarity, romance, playfulness, fear and friendship, uncovering the threads of connection present in all relationships.”Finally, from the Ballet National Folklorique du Luxembourg, Simone Mousset and the great man himself, M. Chevalier, discuss The Great Chevalier which they bring to this year's Edinburgh Fringe. “Hailed as the Bad Boy of Folklore and renowned for his expertise, bold artistic vision, and magnetic stage presence, Mr Chevalier pays tribute to Summerhall as part of the 50th anniversary of the company's iconic Pigeon Dance.”Thanks to Ambrose, Agnes and Calum from Storytelling PR for arranging these interviews.For full details, and all the ways to listen, head over the scotswhayhae.com

Season Endings and Real-World Goodbyes This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl break down the Season 1 finale of HBO's A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, reflect on the season as a whole, and celebrate the life and career of actor Robert Carradine. Did the finale land the joust, or did it pull up short at the lists? And where does this first season rank among HBO's growing Westerosi saga? Plus, we say goodbye to a certified nerd icon. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 News Bites – Robert Carradine: 5:30 A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms – Season 1 Finale Review: 13:47 Season 1 Retrospective: 40:12 Final Thoughts: 46:52 News Bites Robert Carradine (1954–2026) Robert Carradine, best known for his role as Lewis Skolnick in Revenge of the Nerds, has passed away. Carradine was part of the legendary Carradine acting family, son of John Carradine and brother to David and Keith Carradine. While he built a long résumé in film and television, he became a generational touchstone for playing the underdog genius in the 1984 cult classic Revenge of the Nerds and its sequels. Beyond that franchise, Carradine appeared in projects such as The Long Riders, Lizzie McGuire, King of the Nerds, and numerous television roles across decades. He embodied a very specific cinematic archetype: the smart outsider who eventually wins. For an entire era of fandom, he helped make “nerd” aspirational. We tip the pocket protector in respect. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms – Season 1 Finale Episode Title: ‘The Morrow’ Director: Sarah Adina Smith Writer: Ira Parker & Ti Mikkel Network: HBO The Season 1 finale brings Ser Duncan the Tall and Egg's first major Westerosi chapter to a close. Lyonel invites Dunk to move to Storm’s End, but Dunk believes that he brings only bad luck. Baelor’s body is cremated at his funeral. Dunk finds Valarr, who questions why his father died, but Dunk was left alive. Raymun reveals he has married the prostitute Rowan, alias Red. Maekar informs Dunk that Aerion will spend time in the Free Cities to atone. He laments that Baelor would have been a good king and invites Dunk to Summerhall, where Egg can be his squire; Dunk declines, which Egg overhears. In a flashback, Dunk asks Arlan why he was never knighted. Arlan retorts that a true knight always finishes a story. In the present, Daeron tells Dunk to mentor Egg to prevent him from becoming like Aerion. Egg discovers that his hair is regrowing. He takes a knife to Aerion’s bedroom, but Maekar calms him down. Dunk asks Maekar if Egg can squire for him on the road, but Maekar refuses. Raymun buys Sweetfoot back for Dunk, who then gifts her to Raymun. As Dunk leaves Ashford, Egg arrives, and they depart together. Egg suggests that they travel to Dorne. An angry Maekar later realizes that Egg is gone. Key themes explored: – Honor vs. ambition – The weight of legacy – The quiet tension of noble politics – The personal cost of knighthood – Nature vs. Nurture The episode leans more on moral consequence than explosive set pieces, reinforcing the show's identity as a smaller-scale, character-first entry in the Game of Thrones universe. Brian & Darryl Discuss: – Did the finale feel satisfying or intentionally restrained? – Was the pacing consistent with the season's slower, novelistic approach? – Standout performances – Production design and tonal consistency – How does this set up future seasons Rating out of 5 When the Laughing Storm Offers You War, You Say Yes Brian: 4.88/5 Darryl: 4.6/5 Season 1 Retrospective Season 1 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms carved out its own lane in Westeros by shrinking the scope and focusing on intimacy over spectacle. Season strengths: – Character chemistry between Dunk and Egg – Political nuance without overwhelming lore – Strong costume and set authenticity – A grounded tone closer to early Game of Thrones Rating out of 10, Wow, That Hedge Knight has a HUGE “Sword” Brian: 9.17/10 Darryl: 9.5/10 Question of the Week What would you do if you were invisible for a day?

The Red Comet burned brightly and briefly, bringing war and woe and prophecy. The life and reign of King Jaehaerys II is similarly described - short but meaningful. The last Blackfyre, the Ghost of High Heart, the Prince that was Promised. Not to mention the event that put him on the throne: Summerhall. This is the father of the Mad King, the grandfather of Daenerys and the man who gave Barristan his white cloak.Intro - (0:02:04)First Description - (0:03:43)Early Life - (0:07:58)Marriage, Prophecy, & Summerhall - (0:54:52)Reign - (1:50:56)Death - (2:11:54)Legacy - (2:15:35)HoW Audience Survey - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠bit.ly/howsurvey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bonus Eps & More -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ patreon.com/historyofwesteros⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shirts & Stickers -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠historyofwesteros.threadless.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.historyofwesteros.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Intro/Maps - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠klaradox.de⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook Group -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ bit.ly/howfb⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ bit.ly/howdiscord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nina - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠goodqueenaly.tumblr.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

It's the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2025 series Elaine chats with theatre maker, writer and performer Emma Frankland about her new show No Apologies Was Kurt Cobain trans? Was Kurt Cobain a trans woman? What if? No Apologies Summerhall Now – 24th AUG (21st and 23rd with band @17:30) Time: 20:45 No Apologies Two-time Fringe First Award-winning and Total Theatre Award nominated writer and performer Emma Frankland brings her raucous and powerful new show No Apologies to Summerhall for its Edinburgh Fringe Festival debut. Directed by critically acclaimed performance artist and Total Theatre Award nominated theatre maker, Harry Clayton-Wright, No Apologies is a theatrical exploration into the possibility of what the world would look like if Kurt Cobain was trans. Delving deep into internet discourse and classical mythology, No Apologies radically mis-remembers Nirvana's iconic 1993 MTV Unplugged concert. Straddling the knife edge of funny and gut-punching, this personal and multi-layered piece, fights back against the pressure to mould ourselves into images that are acceptable to society and the danger that lies when we are not able to live as our full, vibrant selves. While performed throughout most of the Fringe as a sixty minute solo show, two dates at the end of the festival on 21st and 23rd August will integrate a five-piece tribute band for two special live gig performances in Summerhall's prestigious Dissection Room space.

On this week's podcast, the gang review two great new films with very different perspectives on the trans experience – Levan Akin's Crossing, and Jane Schonebrun's I Saw The TV Glow. Jamie gives his first thoughts on the EIFF programme, we all pitch in on The Bear season three (crossfade one more time, I dare you, I double dare you mother-), plus a few more bits and bobs. Massive shout-out to EHFM, on our final visit to their venerable Summerhall studio. Next time you hear us, we'll be in another studio (probably the new EHFM one, timelines permitting). ehfm.live, the only good radio station.

On this week's show, we've been watching films centred on gender-non-conforming characters.  We're looking at Orlando, My Political Biography, which is a playful essay film about trans identity from Spanish philosopher Paul B. Preciado, and Unicorn, a British drama about the relationship that forms between a straight mechanic from Essex and a drag performer from a conservative Indian family in Manchester.  And off the back of these two films, we're gonna end the show considering some interesting trans and gender-fluid films from film history.

We're back to a full complement this week for a B-movie bonanza. Russell Crowe is back on his anti-demon beat in The Exorcism (bad), Dale Dickey is out for revenge in The G (better), and we all chat about some of our favourite genre movies. Anahit fills us in on Lina Soualem and Hiam Abbas' new documentary Bye Bye Tiberias so we can keep our arthouse credentials, then we fling it all away talking about the Minions and whether or not it's good to eat mud.

We're going to be talking about a really big expensive movie and a tiny indie film on this week's show, but coincidentally they are both about marauding gangs of road warriors fighting over natural resources, so there's definitely a bit in common there. That big film is George Miller's bombastic revenge saga Furiosa, and the smaller film is Weston Razooli's nostalgic kids' adventure fantasy Riddle of Fire. And as it's Pride month, we pick out some of the best LGBTQ+ films playing at Glasgow Film Theatre and Edinburgh's Cameo throughout June, as well as suggesting some lesser-spotted queer films you should watch at home this month.

This time on The Cineskinny, we go running in the fields of streaming cinema. Anahit reviews Hit Man (good!), Jamie joins her for The Idea of You (bad! and weird!), then the whole gang discusses the good, bad and ugly of the streaming revolution. How many of Netflix's top ten films are actually elaborate pranks on this podcast? More than you'd think! We also discuss the inventive, intriguing and v freaky British debut Hoard ahead of its release in cinemas. It's a fun one this week – come for the serious film chat, stay for Jamie's list of 'older women he likes'.  TIMESTAMPS: What We've Been Watching: Lost, Baby Reindeer, Blue Sky, Triangle of Sadness (1:45) Hoard review (12:35) Hit Man review (22:30) The Idea of You review (28:05) The Great Streaming Glut, aka Where Have All The Good Rom Coms gone?

On the latest episode of The CineSkinny we go raking around in Etruscan tombs with a very sexy Josh O'Connor and his band of rapscallion grave robbers in La Chimera. We then head to 90s Edinburgh to revisit Danny Boyle's Shallow Grave. Does it still feel fresh 30 years later? Was renting in Edinburgh a nightmare back in 1994 too? Can Ewan McGregor actually act? Tune in to find out. We end the show by celebrating Film Twitter man of the moment Josh O'Connor. Not only is he brilliant as a melancholy Indiana Jones in La Chimera, he's also riding high at the box office playing a cocky tennis pro in Challengers. We look back at his short but impressive career, from God's Own Country to The Crown.

It's been sunny in Edinburgh for the first time in weeks. We recorded two hours later than usual. Challengers is a very hot film. One or more of these may explain the slightly feral nature of this week's podcast, in which we review freewheeling US 'satire' The Sweet East and Luca Guadagnino's latest, as well as playing the film nerd equivalent of Fantasy Football in honour of the Glasgow Film Festival's 50th anniversary (fans of Kurosawa, Panahi and Rex the Dinosaur, we will programme your cinema, speak soon xx).  TIMESTAMPS: What We've Been Watching: Next Goal Wins, Civil War, Men In Black (2:00) The Sweet East review (16:20) Challengers review (29:10) GFT at 50, Filmhouse, and our perfect day at the cinema (38:40) Follow the team on Twitter @ptrsmpsn @anahitrooz @jamiedunnesq @lew_rob_, get us on Twitter, Instagram, Letterboxd and TikTok @thecineskinny, email us at cineskinny@theskinny.co.uk; recorded at EHFM, Summerhall – ehfm.live Music: Too Cool by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4534-too-cool) License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license

This week we dive into the hallucinogenic world of Disco Boy, which stars European arthouse cinema's current It boy Franz Rogowski as an undocumented Belarusian immigrant who joins the French Foreign Legion. We also take a look at Evil Does Not Exist, the latest from Ryusuke Hamaguchi. This Japanese filmmaker has amassed a cult following but he's still to convince some of our hosts on the pod. Will Evil Does Not Exist change their minds? And with Lynne Ramsay's Ratcatcher getting a 25th-anniversary rerelease this month, we look back at the four feature films to date from this visionary Scottish filmmaker.

Peter has a coughing fit, Anahit is jet-lagged and buzzed on Red Bull so won't stop playing with the sound effects, Ellie talks us through the finer points of animation studio politics, and Jamie tells us all about why Bradley Cooper shouldn't win an Oscar.

Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos (The Lobster, Dogtooth etc) returns with the hugely anticipated Poor Things, adapted from Alasdair Gray's brilliant riff on Frankenstein. Are we angry he didn't set it in Glasgow? Did its sexual politics shock us? Do we rate Willem Dafoe's Scottish accent? Listen to find out. Also on the show, we review Andrew Haigh's devastating All of Us Strangers, and given that Lanthimos and Haigh have made bold adaptations that differ significantly from the books, we pick our favourite adaptations that bring something new to their source material.

We also take a look at Tish from Edinburgh-based filmmaker Paul Sng, which acts as a tender portrait of unsung Tyneside photographer Tish Murtha.  And inspired by Barry Keoghan's very horny and freaky performance in Saltburn, the team chose their favourite little horny freaks in cinema.

On this week's podcast, Jamie, Ellie and Peter escape the heatwave with two films of varying quality – Celine Song's much-hyped Past Lives, and outsider artist doc A Life on the Farm.  We then get into a chat about films about films, cos we're cool like that, and Anahit saves the day by dialling in from Venice Film Festival.

Elaine and Louise chat with Lula Mebrahtu or Lula.XYZ about her exciting new show OommoO which is on @Summerhall in the Red lecture Theatre @4.15pm until the 27th August 2023. We chat the creation of the show, telling stories with the beat of life, loss and so much more. It's another wonderful episode with another wonderful guest. https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/oommoo Oommoo Real-life events of a first-generation immigrant navigating the duality of two cultures, Habesha (Eritrean/Ethiopian) heritage and British identity. It looks at the effects of memory loss on a displaced community. When you've left everything behind for the promise of something "better", and it's not better… When you have nothing but memories and memory is fading… What do you have? Interviewing language, customs and music with wearable tech MiMu gloves, it's a poetic reflection of an emotionally visceral experience unpacked through an Afro-Futuristic East-African lens. Neither a musical, drama or gig theatre... It's a new kind of storytelling. https://www.lulamebrahtu.com/ OUR WEBSITE - www.persistentandnasty.co.uk Persistent Pal & Nasty Hero - Pals and Hero Membership Support In The Room - https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/in-the-room Email – persistentandnasty@gmail.com Instagram - @persistentandnasty Twitter - @PersistentNasty Coffee Morning Eventbrite - Coffee Morning Tickets LINKTREE - LINKTR.EE Resources Samaritans - Rape Crisis Scotland - Rape Crisis UK ArtsMinds - BAPAM Freelancers Make Theatre Work Stonewall UK - Trevor Project - Mermaids UK Switchboard LGBT+ - GATE PLANNED PARENTHOOD DONATE - DONATE ABORTION SUPPORT NETWORK UK - ASN.COM- DONATE WeAudition offer: For 25% off your monthly subscription quote: NASTY25 Backstage Offers: Get a free 12 months Actor Subscription: https://join.backstage.com/persistentnasty-uk-12m-free/

Elaine and Louise chat with the creators of Slash Leah Hennessey and Emily Allan. Slash is on @ Summerhall until the 27th August @10.15pm. We chat the creating the show, finding that person you connect with both personal and creatively and all things Fanfiction. Louise is in her element. Another great episode with brilliant humans. https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/slash Slash The Blond (Emily Allan) and The Dark Haired One (Leah Hennessey) attempt to transcend the banality of identity and the terror of consciousness through cosplay, anglophilia, critical theory and song. Incorporating fan-fictional pairings such as Lennon/McCartney and Sherlock/Watson, interspersed with meta commentary by infamous second-wave feminists (Camile Paglia, Andrea Dworkin) and mashed up 80s punk songs, they guide the audience through an infernal fantasia of perverted intertextuality. Described as 'prankish genius' (TheParisReview.org) and 'the ultimate fanfiction play' (Syfy.com), Slash is a pop-feminist tour de force about the erotics of collaboration and friendship. https://www.instagram.com/prettyboysinlove/?hl=en https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fleahvictoriahennessey%2F%3Fhl=en https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Femilyggallan%2F%3Fhl=en OUR WEBSITE - www.persistentandnasty.co.uk Persistent Pal & Nasty Hero - Pals and Hero Membership Support In The Room - https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/in-the-room Email – persistentandnasty@gmail.com Instagram - @persistentandnasty Twitter - @PersistentNasty Coffee Morning Eventbrite - Coffee Morning Tickets LINKTREE - LINKTR.EE Resources Samaritans - Rape Crisis Scotland - Rape Crisis UK ArtsMinds - BAPAM Freelancers Make Theatre Work Stonewall UK - Trevor Project - Mermaids UK Switchboard LGBT+ - GATE PLANNED PARENTHOOD DONATE - DONATE ABORTION SUPPORT NETWORK UK - ASN.COM- DONATE WeAudition offer: For 25% off your monthly subscription quote: NASTY25 Backstage Offers: Get a free 12 months Actor Subscription: https://join.backstage.com/persistentnasty-uk-12m-free/

Two much-loved film franchises with ageing action stars charge into cinemas this week. Tom Cruise is back as super-spy Ethan Hunt to battle an omniscient AI in Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1 and Harrison Ford is Indiana Jones, who's on the hunt for the Dial of Destiny with the help from Phoebe Waller-Bridge. We also take a look back on the best films of the year so far with the help of some members of the Skinny film team, namely Rory Doherty, Louis Cammell, Ross McIndoe, Carmen Paddock and Tony Inglis. The chat begins by digging into our highlights before veering off to discuss the state of film distribution more generally. Finally, with the programme for EIFF announced this week, we pick out a couple of highlights before our more in-depth EIFF preview show in August.
