Brad Pitt's carefully crafted F1: The Movie promo run has us thinking about how celebrities script their own stories and how easily we buy into them. From Brad's quiet erasure of abuse allegations by Angelina Jolie to Chris Brown packing stadiums despite a long history of violence, we're diving into the messy, age-old question: can you really separate the art from the artist? Also this week: a gorgeously candid Charlize Theron interview, Tim Key's rom-com of the summer The Ballad of Wallis Island and Netflix's jaw-dropping exposé on the cult of American Apparel and the toxic founder Dov Charney.

William Wordsworth, Carol Ann Duffy… Tim Key. Just a few of the great poets this fair nation has produced. But there are two more names to add to the pantheon, two new kids on the block: Elis James and John Robins. Our heroes have picked up their pens (opened their laptops), unfurled their manuscripts (opened Word), and trawled their creative depths to write some verses that Shakespeare himself would be proud of. Why is poetry the order of the day you might be asking? Because the aforementioned Tim Key has unlocked the door to the house and made himself at home, that's why! Plus he's only gone and made a film which crucially John wasn't invited to the screening of. Elsewhere, there is newsworthy Cymru Connection to captivate people, but are they being entertained for all the wrong reasons? Also Dave's life has fallen apart because Hannah's gone to Ibiza. Tim's also in Saturday's Bureau de Change of the Mind if you want some bonus Key. That of course is only on the delectable BBC Sounds.If you want to get in touch then elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk is the means, as is 07974 293 022 on WhatsApp.

James is just back from a rollercoaster research mission for his next book and he rambles about all of the plane delays, train debauchery and automobile action as well as Tim Key's The Ballad of Wallis Island, The Salt Path, The Newt in Somerset, The Creamery and muses on friendship, family and fondness for frivolity.

Why has Trump sent the National Guard onto the streets of L.A. to deal with protests against his immigration raids? Normally, this would only happen at the invitation of the State's governor. This time, Trump acted without consultation - and the governor, Gavin Newsom, is now threatening to sue him. Is Trump right to say he needs to assert law and order on a few protestors before it gets out of control? Is this a personal vendetta against Newsom? Or might it be for more sinister reasons - a dress rehearsal for a President working out how to use emergency powers to seize control of local operations of government? Later, actor comedian poet and writer Tim Key joins us to discuss his smash hit film 'The Ballad of Wallis Island' - and an update on the Chancellor's winter fuel u-turn.The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

This week on End Credits, we're having vacation thoughts already! How about an adventure on an island somewhere? We have a couple of options to consider today. One is a new film called The Ballad of Wallis Island where feelings might be hurt, plus we're going to talk about a well-know movie that's turning 50 this year where the danger is a little more physical. This Wednesday, May 21, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Jaws at 50! Exactly half-a-century ago, a movie was released about a small island tourist town that was plagued by killer shark that stalked its beaches. No one knew that Jaws was going to be a hit *that* big, in fact there was every indication that it was going to be a disaster, but it turn out being one of the biggest movies ever, and one that we still talk about and enjoy today. So why does Jaws still have bite 50 years later? REVIEW: The Ballad of Wallis Island (2025). It's a fairly well-known story: former bandmates separated by creative and personal differences are thrown back together again by fate and circumstances. The Ballad of Wallis Island is also itself a kind of reunion. Writers and co-stars Tom Basden and Tim Key, now joined by Oscar nominee Carey Mulligan, stage a feature length version of their short film from 2007 about a former folk duo who are thrown back together again by a millionaire on a small island, but does this movie sing? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

Three-time Oscar nominee Carey Mulligan – star of Tim Key and Tom Basden's ‘The Ballad of Wallis Island' – is this week's dream guest. But can James name those nominated roles?

The new film “The Ballad of Wallis Island” tells the story of Charles, an eccentric lottery winner who uses his money to hold a private concert on the remote Welsh island where he lives. The band he hires is his favourite group of all time: the fictional folk rock duo McGwyer Mortimer. The only problem is they haven't spoken in years — and the concert is just for Charles. British poet and comedian Tim Key stars as Charles and co-wrote the movie, which is based on a short film he made in 2007. He joins Tom Power to talk about the project and why it took 18 years to turn his short into a feature. Plus, he reveals how he persuaded Hollywood A-lister Carey Mulligan to get on board. If you like this conversation, listen to Tom's interview with director Bong Joon Ho on “Mickey 17.”

THE BALLAD OF WALLIS ISLAND stars Tim Key, Tom Basden and Carey Mulligan, with Basden and Key having written the script. So how did this idea of a folk duo being hired by a rich guy for a private show on his secluded island come about? Let's talk about it...

On this episode of Reel Insights, Sean Tajipour, the Mayor of Nerdtropolis, chats with Tim Key & Tom Basden to discuss their quirky and charming new film, The Ballad of Wallis Island.The film follows Charles (Tim Key), an eccentric lottery winner who lives alone on a remote island and dreams of reuniting his favorite musicians, McGwyer Mortimer (Tom Basden & Carey Mulligan). When the former bandmates—and former lovers—accept his invitation for a private show, old tensions resurface, and Charles desperately tries to keep his dream gig from falling apart.In this interview, Tim and Tom share how the project evolved from a short film into a full-length feature, the influences that shaped the film's offbeat world, and what makes Wallis Island such a fascinating setting. Tim reveals what Charles would make Sean do upon arrival, while Tom discusses how Carey Mulligan became part of the film. They also talk about balancing humor with heart, why the film's British comedy still feels universally relatable, and which retired band they would bring back for a private show.In Select Theaters This Friday, Everywhere April 18Visit Nerdtropolis.comhttps://www.Facebook.com/nerdtropolishttps://Instagram.com/nerdtropolishttps://Twitter.com/nerdtropolis

What do the people want? Wordle Live. What do they not want? The Cymru Connection. That's the opinion of John Robins. Just John Robins. You thought that we were out of the Wordly woods. But no, the more concern you have for the woods the more trees John will plant. PLANT being a good starter. John wants a feature substitution and he'll wage this war on Elis, listeners and production staff alike until he gets it.Failing that, what about a daily Wordle podcast? Guys. Guys! GUUYYS!?! Don't run off. It can't happen anyway because they're hard to promote and you can't get a commercial midroll advert in if they're too short. So it's all fine. That door is closed.Anyway there are larks aplenty today on the show, and not the avian sort. For Richard Herring and his singular ball are in today to talk about someone who looks like Tim Key. Plus there's a Made Up Games which really will make TV commissioners *finally* sit up and listen to the ideas machines.If there's any format that you think has the potential to make the boys boat loads of cash then it's elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk or 07974 293 022.

Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy return after more than a week in Park City plus virtual screenings for this year's Sundance Film Festival and they are here to talk about 15 of their favorite films. They include a pair of body horror films about the terror of living happily ever after. There is also the horror of being a parent especially if you live next to the worst kind of Karen. Music plays a role in a lovely story about a washed-up folk singer and a lottery winner plus the heartbreaking tale of an artist taken away from us too quickly. There are more documentaries about the first deaf Oscar winner, teenagers who took on the environmental concerns of their community, the troubling legacy of To Catch a Predator and the consequences of delaying that colonoscopy.  Audiences were treated to standout performances from Dylan O'Brien and the genuine discovery of the debut by a name to remember, Eva Victor. All that plus generational tales of Palestine and the building and rebuilding of America.  0:00 - Intro 5:44 – The Ugly Stepsister 11:03 – The Ballad of Wallis Island 16:16 – It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley 20:04 – Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore 26:26 – The Perfect Neighbor 35:25 – Predators 43:04 – Twinless 48:33 – If I Had Legs, I'd Kick You 54:01 – Andre is an Idiot 57:48 – All That's Left Of You 1:01:08 – Rebuilding 1:05:33 – Together 1:11:03 – Middletown 1:15:33 – Sorry, Baby 1:23:10 – Train Dreams 1:31:47 – More Sundance Mentions 1:34:29 - Outro
