Fifty years ago this summer, Jaws was released in the US. Directed by Steven Spielberg and based on the bestselling novel by Peter Benchley, the film - about a coastal resort town threatened by a great white stark at the busiest time of the year - was a groundbreaking box office phenomenon.Jaws changed the industry overnight - pioneering new marketing and release patterns, and altering the focus and mix of movies that Hollywood made - some say for the worse. From Jaws and Star Wars through to the double whammy of Barbenheimer, summer blockbusters have dominated cinemas. But is this changing? And is there more to the summer blockbuster than big box office and a summer release date? Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode join the queue for popcorn to explore the genre. Mark speaks to critic and author Tim Robey about how Jaws went from potential disaster to record-breaking hit, and about the summer blockbusters that followed. And he also speaks to Jenny He, senior exhibitions curator at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, about the museum's forthcoming ‘Jaws: The Exhibition' and the marketing techniques that helped make the 1975 film such a success. Meanwhile, Ellen talks to pop culture critic Kayleigh Donaldson about box office mega-hits for the modern age - and how the inescapable megalith of Marvel has impacted the summer film landscape. And Ellen also speaks to Canadian filmmaker Nyla Innuksuk about her 2022 film Slash/Back - a Spielberg-influenced summer-blockbuster-in-spirit sci-fi adventure movie set in the remote Arctic fishing town of Pangnirtung.

Alex Garland's latest film Warfare, which is co-directed by US military veteran Ray Mendoza turns back the clock back nearly twenty years to reconstruct a real-life surveillance mission in Iraq. Film critic Tim Robey and journalist Zing Tsjeng give their verdict on the analysis of the theatre of war, which unfolds in real time. They've also been to see Shanghai Dolls at London's Kiln Theatre - which spans six decades of Chinese history, focusing on the life of an actress who was to personify the terrifying face of the cultural revolution, Madame Mao. Literary critic Boyd Tonkin reflects on the legacy of Nobel prize-winning Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa who has died at the age of 89. Samira and her guests have also been reading Katie Kitamura's new book Audition, about an actress who agrees to have dinner with a young man who seems fixated on her, and includes a 'sliding doors' alternative reality. And as the actress Cate Blanchett announces her intention to retire, Radio 4 listeners have a chance to hear her star in her first major radio drama The Fever, in which she plays a privileged woman who travels to a war-torn country and reflects on her comfortable life amidst the poverty of others. Presenter: Samira Ahmed Producer: Paula McGrath

The war in Ukraine is firmly back on the agenda of Western leaders. Keir Starmer was at a hastily organised European summit in Paris on Monday, as Russian and American negotiators prepare to hold talks in Saudi Arabia.Meanwhile the PM has announced he would be willing to put British troops on the ground in Ukraine as peacekeepers.But with military recruitment at historically low levels and defence spending languishing, is our diminished Army up to the job? Kamal and Gordon ask Lord Richard Dannatt, former head of the British Army, who says it is “outrageous” that Ukraine has been excluded from planned peace talks and suggests military spending should be boosted to 3.5% of GDP.Later, the Telegraph's film critic Tim Robey reflects on a night of bad jokes and surprise results at the Baftas - and reveals which films are worth seeing.Read: Potentially putting Britons in harm's way is a huge responsibility – but we must be ready to do our bit for Europe, Keir StarmerMunich shows time has run out.

After THE MATRIX and V FOR VENDETTA, the Wachowskis were ready to turn from darkness, into the bright, bright candy-colored light. The result was SPEED RACER, an eyepopping postmodern explosion that honored the gravity-defying spirit of old-school anime… and which audiences couldn't quite figure out.Host Rico Gagliano talks with the SPEED RACER star Roger Allam (THE THICK OF IT), legendary special effects artist John Gaeta (THE MATRIX), and more about how the movie was made, why it tanked, and why a growing army of acolytes start their days by watching its final action sequence.

Then it flopped, put a pause on his career, and arguably marked the end of the heady “indiewood” era of the oughties. Host Rico Gagliano talks to one of the film's stars, Daniel London (MINORITY REPORT), comedy star and SYNECDOCHE superfan Jamie Demetriou (FLEABAG), and LA Times critic Amy Nicholson to learn about a movie that's now seen as one of the best of the century.The latest season of The MUBI Podcast – BOX OFFICE POISON — dives into six visionary films... that were also notorious flops.

It's hard to imagine Katharine Hepburn as anything but a Hollywood icon. But in 1935, director George Cukor's dreamy, gender-fluid comedy SYLVIA SCARLETT derailed her career for years. Host Rico Gagliano tells the story of a movie with sexual politics way ahead of its time — and which paid for it dearly at the box office.

This week: SAS SOS The enemy that most concerns Britain's elite military unit isn't the IRA, the Taliban or Isis, but a phalanx of lawyers armed with the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), writes Paul Wood in The Spectator. Many SAS soldiers now believe that if they kill a terrorist during an operation, they'll spend decades being hounded through the courts. Paul speaks to former SAS soldiers who say that stories of men being ‘dragged back to be screamed at in interview rooms' are ‘flying around the canteens now'. Soldiers feel like ‘the good guys have become the bad guys – and the bad guys are now the good guys'. This is hurting morale and may eventually hit recruitment. Paul joins the podcast to discuss further, alongside Colonel Richard Williams, a former SAS commanding officer in Iraq and Afghanistan. (01:36) Then: how much more punishment can Ukrainian city Odesa take? The Black Sea port of Odesa occupies a unique role in Ukrainian – and Soviet – history. Added significance has been thrust on it by the Russian invasion: both symbolically, as well as practically, given how central it is to grain exports. But while war weariness sets in for Ukrainians – and their allies – the battle for Odesa is ever more crucial; further deadly aerial attacks took place only days ago. In the magazine this week, journalist Peter Pomerantsev reviews a new book looking at the port city by Julian Evans. Undefeatable: Odesa in Love and War is part-history book, part-memoir exploring many of the human stories that make up the city. How has the conflict changed the people of Odesa? And for Ukrainians who grew up consuming Russian-speaking media and culture, did the war challenge their identity? Peter joins the podcast alongside the author of the Spectator's Ukraine newsletter, Svitlana Morenets. (18:24) And finally: do we secretly love a good film flop? ‘I've fallen out of love with cinemas,' declares long-standing (or should that be long-suffering?) film critic Chris Tookey in the magazine this week. He argues the experience isn't as good, and Hollywood is partly to blame. Perhaps films are getting worse? Some people love a good film flop though – the big-budget blockbuster disasters. Fellow film critic Tim Robey is one such person, and he explores his love of Hollywood flops in his new book Box Office Poison, out now. But how has the experience of cinema changed? And what's the worst film they've ever seen? Tim and Chris join the podcast. (32:58) Hosted by William Moore and Lara Prendergast. Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Patrick Gibbons.

Director Edward Berger joins Tom Sutcliffe to talk about his thriller Conclave, staring Ralph Fiennes and Stanley Tucci, which focuses on the election of a new pope.

We sit down with Tim Robey, author of the new book ‘Box Office Poison: Hollywood's Story in a Century of Flops'. This alternative history of cinema recounts the industry's biggest bombs, including how they came to be made and what they tell us about both the Hollywood machine and the public who eschewed them. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When most people think of the movies, they think of Oscar-winning classics and popular summer blockbusters. But Hollywood's failures — its flops — are often more significant. Over the years, flops have bankrupted studios and forced Hollywood to modify its business model — and recent superhero flops may cause yet another evolution. Tim Robey, a longtime film critic at The Telegraph and the author of Box Office Poison: Hollywood's Story in a Century of Flops, joins to discuss the business of movie failures.

This week's big cinema release Joker: Folie a Deux is under scrutiny from Tom Sutcliffe's reviewers, broadcaster Ayesha Hazarika and film critic Tim Robey.

Gramophone Artist of the Year soprano Carolyn Sampson performs in the Front Row studio - and on National Poetry Day Tom and the critics pick their favourite poems. Presenter: Tom Sutcliffe Producer: Paula McGrath

Au commencement, il y a un jeune homme en costume trois pièces, la raie au milieu, des lunettes de vue d'étudiant en histoire. Et est-ce que ça fait rêver ? Pas vraiment. Quand on le découvre dans 4 mariages et un enterrement, Hugh Grant a 34 ans et s'apprête tranquillement à rester dans les limbes de l'anonymat. Sauf que c'est tout le contraire. En fait, c'est même sa coiffure de collégien, son regard inoffensif et sa confiance inexistante qui vont soudain faire de lui le prototype du séducteur à l'anglaise, capable de faire tomber n'importe quelle fille en butant sur un mot ou en s'entravant dans un tabouret. Hugh Grant, il a fait naître un nouveau genre de tombeur à Hollywood. A la fois romantique, maladroit et gentil. Tellement gentil que quand il a été arrêté en 1995, le pantalon baissé aux chevilles, accompagné d'une prostituée dans une ruelle sombre de Los Angeles, les Anglaises se sont étouffées avec leur pudding. Mais qui est vraiment Hugh, ont-elles dû essayer de crier, une orange confite en travers de la gorge. C'est la question que nous nous poserons évidemment aussi dans cet épisode. Une question qui nous amènera à replonger dans les films qui l'ont fait, Coup de foudre à Notting Hill ou Le Journal de Bridget Jones, à interroger la masculinité qu'il incarne, mais aussi à revenir sur sa vie privée, et sur ses 5 enfants.  Pour nous aider à répondre à ces questions, au micro de Marion Galy-Ramounot se succèdent : - Tim Robey, critique de cinéma au quotidien anglais The Telegraph - Marie Telling est journaliste et host du podcast Amies, qui décortique les films et séries mythiques des années 1990-2000 - Kristen Barber, professeure d'études de genre à l'Université du Missouri-Kansas City  Scandales est un podcast de Madame Figaro, écrit et présenté par Marion Galy-Ramounot, et produit par Lucile Rousseau-Garcia. Camille Lamblaut a été chargée d'enquête. Jean Thévenin en a fait la réalisation, le mix, et a composé la musique. Océane Ciuni est la responsable éditoriale de Scandales, un podcast produit par Louie Créative, l'agence de contenus audios de LouieMédia.   Cet épisode de Scandales est à retrouver sur toutes vos plateformes : Apple Podcasts,  Spotify, Deezer et Amazon Music.  Hébergé par Ausha.

Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power is a prequel and in keeping with the epic scale of Tolkein's books and their film versions it doesn't begin a two years before The Hobbit but two thousand. Sci-fi novelist Temi Oh and film critic Tim Robey review the Amazon Prime series. They also consider the merits of another millennia spanning work, George Miller's film Three Thousand Years of Longing. It's a radical departure for the director of the Mad Max films; an adaptation of a short story by A. S. Byatt staring Tilda Swinton and Idris Elba, who plays a djinn – a genie. So, it should be good…but is it? Samira Ahmed talks to Nick Drnaso, whose Sabrina was the first graphic novel to be selected for the Booker Prize longlist. In his new one, Acting Class, ten strangers come together in the class run by the mysterious John Smith, who is possibly a charlatan. His students, all very different, share one uniting need, for change. The lights went out on the final performances of this year's Edinburgh Festivals on Monday. It's being said that there were fewer people attending fewer shows and that prices, especially of accommodation, were prohibitive. And then the binnies went on strike and the elegant streets of Scotland's capital were strewn with rubbish. So, Pauline McClean, BBC Scotland's Arts Correspondent wonders, were the festivals successful? Does there need to be some change? And, marking Mikhail Gorbachev's death, a poem from The Poetry of Perestroika, a pioneering anthology made possible by his reforms.
