Today on the show, we’re not just welcoming one legendary filmmaker, not two, but three! Actors Steven Berkoff & Julian Glover as well as actor/producer/writer Matt Hookings! All three have worked on the new film Prizefighter: The Life of Jem Belcher (2022), which also stars Russell Crowe & Ray Winstone.
Our host, Giles Alderson, and Matt brought Steven and Julian together to talk about their long career. They dive deep into how they got into acting in the first place, the difference between theatre and film, what they expect from a director and what roles excite them.
They also talk about their new film Prizefighter, how they came on board and share many anecdotes about legendary directors like Stanley Kubrick, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. It’s the first time they’ve sat in a room together in 50 years and it’s their first time on a podcast. You’ll hear stories that they have never shared before in an interview. So, sit, back, relax and listen to this week’s episode with Steven Berkoff, Julian Glover, and Matt Hookings.
PRIZEFIGHTER: THE LIFE OF JEM BELCHER is out on Friday!
At the turn of the 19th century, Pugilism was the sport of kings and a gifted young boxer fought his way to becoming champion of England.

Today, we welcome writer-director Nathalie Biancheri to the show! She is the mind behind the feature films Nocturnal (2019) and the art-house drama Wolf (2021), starring Lily-Rose Depp, George MacKay, Paddy Considine, and many more!
Nathalie sat down with our hosts, Giles Alderson and Dom Lenoir, to talk all about the making of her two feature films. She really goes in-depth on the whole pre-production work. She discusses her casting process, what it was like to lose her lead actor a few months before shooting, and why you shouldn’t write for a specific actor. She talks about the importance of rehearsals, directing actors, the creative process behind Wolf, budget, and finally, what it was like to have Universal on board.
All that and more is to come in today’s episode. So, sit, back, relax and listen to this week’s episode with the rather delightful Nathalie Biancheri.
WOLF is out!
Jacob, a man who believes he is a wolf trapped in a human body, is sent to a clinic by his family where he is forced to undergo increasingly extreme forms of "curative" therapies at the hands of The Zookeeper. Jacob's only solace is the enigmatic wildcat with whom he roams the hospital in the dead of night. The two form an improbable friendship that develops into infatuation.

Today, we welcome writer-producer Tom Palmer to the show! Tom is a dear listener of our show and now that he has completed his amazing debut feature film All my friends hate me (2022), we thought to bring him on and let him talk about his incredible journey of making it.

He talks about how he suddenly found himself producing the film on his own, raising the finances, pitching, his learnings from all the different struggles of being a producer as well as film festivals, sales and distribution. He also discusses his writing process, mental health, and the importance of good sound and score.
Tom went through a trial by fire and succeeded. All my friends hate me is a brilliant film and it’s out now. Do go support and see for yourself what is possible. But for now, sit back, relax and enjoy this week’s episode inspiring episode with Tom Palmer.
ALL MY FRIENDS HATE ME is out in cinemas!

Today, we have a special treat for you. We welcome not one, not two, but three rising stars of the horror genre: writer-director Rob Savage and screenwriters Gemma Hurley and Jed Shepherd. They are the team behind the smash-hit Host (2020), and now they are back with their latest feature film, Dashcam.
Rob sat down with Giles Alderson to talk about going from making Host to Dashcam and dealing with expectations, prepping and directing a found footage horror film, SFX and to share tips and tricks on talking to studios.
Gemma and Jed on the other hand chatted with Giles about how their lives had changed after the success of Host, how they pitched Dashcam, what the collaboration with Blumhouse was like and dealing with the pressure of doing another successful film. They also talk about their creative process, how to write a found footage film and what makes horror different to any other genre.
Dashcam is out this week and it’s absolutely brilliant. Do check it out in cinemas. But for now, sit back, relax and enjoy this week’s episode with Rob Savage, Gemma Hurley and Jed Shepherd!

Today on the show, we welcome Joss Agnew. He has been a TV director for over 20 years. His work includes Hollyoaks (2001), The Story of Tracy Beaker (2002), Dream Team (2003), Young Dracula (2006), Law & Order: UK (2013), The Split (2020), The Man Who Fell to Earth (2022), only to name a few.
He chatted with Giles Alderson and first-time host Huw Siddle all about his long career in filmmaking. He talks about what it’s like to jump into an existing show as a director, the difference between TV and feature film directing and his background as an editor. He also discusses pitching, actors and working with the same crew from project to project, how he preps for a scene and why asking questions is so important.
We loved chatting with Joss. It turned out to be an epic masterclass on TV directing. So, sit back, relax and enjoy not only Giles' live intro from Cannes Film Festival but this week’s episode with Joss Agnew!
