On this episode of The Discourse, host Mike DeAngelo is joined by Riz Ahmed, Lily James, and director David Mackenzie to talk about ‘Relay', a paranoid thriller set in New York City that follows a world-class “fixer” (Riz Ahmed) who brokers lucrative payoffs between corrupt corporations and the individuals who threaten their ruin. He keeps his identity a secret through meticulous planning and always follows an exacting set of rules. When a new message arrives from a potential client (Lily James) needing his protection to stay alive, the rules quickly start to change. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Willa Fitzgerald, Matthew Maher, and more.For Ahmed, the attraction was as much about who he was working with as the story itself. “The thing that's always one of the most important things is your director,” he said. “You're going to be in their hands. You've got to kind of vibe with them. So David was a big pull. And then it's also who else are you going to be doing this with? When I heard it was Lily, I was absolutely thrilled.”

This week, I chat with Leigh Dunlap about her darkly comical debut thriller Bless Your Heart. We dive into her inspiration for the story, how her screenwriting background influenced her novel writing process, and how her relationship with her son formed the story.Bless Your Heart SynopsisAnderson Tupper, a member of one of Atlanta's richest families, has been murdered in the dugout of the Little League field where he was a volunteer coach, and it's up to Detective Shay Claypool, a single mother from the other side of town, to find his killer.With the exclusive area of Buckhead threatening to secede from the city of Atlanta and take its tax revenue with it, Shay is under pressure to solve the murder of one of Buckhead's own. Accustomed to handling drug dealers and prostitutes, she must now contend with an even more sinister the Buckhead Betties, the insufferably entitled women of Georgia's most affluent zip code. One of them might be a murderer, but who? Is it the old-money queen of Buckhead? The mysterious new girl in town? The drug dealing trophy wife?It seems secrets and lies are as plentiful as luxury handbags in Atlanta and everyone's guilty of something. Shay's investigation will make her examine her own prejudices and discover that, as women and mothers, she might not be that different from the Betties after all. And if she isn't careful, they just might take her down with them.

Episode 137 of The Film ‘89 Podcast marks the first time that the guys revisit a film that's already been covered on a previous episode. 5 years ago on Episode 52, Neil and Skye recorded an audio commentary for the 45th anniversary of Steven Spielberg's 1975 masterpiece, Jaws. That episode remains one of Film ‘89's most downloaded episodes and one that regularly gets mentioned by listeners as one of their favourites. The commentary focussed mainly on the making of Jaws along with Skye and Neil's analysis of the film, but this episode is going to be a companion piece to the that first episode focussing more on a celebration of Jaws' legacy as it turns 50 and its impact upon the guys (now joined by Steve), and what they feel makes it a genuine contender for the title of greatest film ever made. But it won't just be Steve, Skye and Neil talking as this episode features many of the regular Film ‘89 co-hosts, guests, friends from Film Twitter and more, so input from more people than any other episode of Film ‘89 so far, all experts on film, chiming in with their testimonies as to why they feel Jaws is one of the greatest motion pictures ever made.

This week, Gare and I talk with Clèmence Michallon about her new thriller Our Last Resort. We dive into her inspiration for the book, her fresh take on a locked room thriller, and how she crafted a believable cult.Our Last Resort SynopsisInnocence doesn't bail you out; it just makes you easier to trap.Frida and Gabriel arrive seeking a fresh start at the stunning Ara Hotel in the secluded desert of Escalante, Utah. Once so close they were able to finish each other's sentences, they've grown apart in recent years after a sudden, unspeakable tragedy. Now, at the luxe resort, they are ready to reconnect between dips in the pool and hikes on spectacular desert trails. It all feels like paradise—until the dead body of a beautiful young woman who was vacationing at the Ara with her powerful, much older husband is discovered.When the local police arrive and suspicion quickly falls on Gabriel, Frida is forced to revisit memories from their upbringing in a cloistered cult in upstate New York, their dramatic escape, and the scandal that followed. Frida's belief in Gabriel's innocence never wavered at the time, but now even she can't ignore the evidence mounting against him.Alternating between past and present timelines, Our Last Resort builds toward a shattering climax that uncovers the fate of the murdered Ara guest and poses the question: how well do we ever really know those we love? Multi-layered, gripping, and intense, Clémence Michallon's latest suspense novel is a nail-biter until the last page, cementing her status as a major new talent in the genre.

"That's reality for you. No saving, no resetting." For the next entry in our Virtual Insanity series, we're diving headfirst into the world of early virtual reality—and the filmmaker who helped bring it to the big screen. This week, we're going behind the scenes on VIRTUOSITY, the 1995 cyber thriller starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe. In our last episode, we explored how THE LAWNMOWER MAN came to be—and how its unexpected success paved the way for VIRTUOSITY, a film already deep in development before Brett Leonard came aboard. This time, we're zeroing in on VIRTUOSITY itself: its chaotic production, its failure to replicate Leonard's earlier success, and how that shaped the trajectory of his career. We'll also dig into the film's surprisingly sharp take on Artificial Intelligence and consider where it fits within the broader legacy of cyberpunk fiction. Want to support the show?
