Radio 1's Screen Time

This podcast, BBC Radio 1’s Screen Time, is taking a break to recalibrate, retune and come back stronger. But don’t worry, we’re going out with a bang as Michael Fassbender stops by to talk about his new Steven Soderbergh spy thriller 'Black Bag'. As well as his love of The Big Lebowski, his racing career and auditions that didn’t quite go to plan. We've left the best 'til last!

Star of Bong Joon-ho's latest, Mickey 17, Naomi Ackie is in conversation with Ali. They cover loads: her career so far, including Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker (& some memorobilia she may have been given!), also the Whitney Houston biopic I Want To Dance With Somebody and more. Also, stick around until the very end for some big news from our Ali!

We're dipping into the back catalogue for this episode of Screen Time, and we time travel back to 2023 to hear Florence Pugh talk to our Ali about her career so far whilst she was in town talking about her (then) latest film, 'A Good Person'. Since then she’s been in 'Oppenheimer' and - if you listen to this interview - was up for being in Paddington 3. But then in the end, wasn't.

Ted Lasso veteran and star of the new series of 'Surface', Phil Dunster, joins Ali for a chat about all sorts of happy nonsense this week. Including Reading’s best bits (the place, not the thing you do with words). There's also chat about YouTube rabbit holes and the times people have accidentally called Phil “Jamie Tartt” and not, you know, his actual name. There’s also some genuinely grown-up conversation about his career in there too. Anyroad, he’s perfectly charming, as you'll find out by listening to this episode!

Ali talks to the cast of Captain America: Brave New World! So find out what Anthony Mackie, Harrison Ford & Danny Ramirez have to say for themselves!
