Would we miss the opportunity to talk about Alicia Silverstone on the podcast? Ugh, as if!! We wrap up our miniseries, predicting future Oscar nominees by discussing the 90’s teen movie icon. Alongside the unmissable Clueless (Amy Heckerling, 1995) we take in some of Alicia’s other noteworthy roles throughout the episode. From a mixed bag of 90s flicks with The Crush (Alan Sh

John Magaro | E69 | Past Lives, First Cow, Carol, The Big Short, Showing Up

May 08 2024 62 mins

Sixty-nine episodes in and John Magaro may be the best example of a Don’t Know Her? actor... We had seen him in the likes of Orange Is the New Black (2015-2019), Carol (Todd Haynes, 2015) and The Big Short (Adam McKay, 2015) but hadn’t properly noticed him until First Cow (Kelly Reichardt, 2019) and Past Lives (Celine Song, 2023). And wow! His soulful performances are the stu

Harris Dickinson | E68 | Beach Rats, Triangle of Sadness, Scrapper, Maleficent 2, The Iron Claw

It’s time to turn our attention to a real rising star… Harris Dickinson. In our third episode of our miniseries predicting future Oscar nominees, Harris felt apt to discuss given his eclectic film work and hotly anticipated upcoming projects… Still being a relatively new face in cinema does not prevent him giving us plenty to chat about…. Throughout the episode we focus

Aubrey Plaza | E67 | Ingrid Goes West, Emily the Criminal, Safety Not Guaranteed, Happiest Season

Get ready to dive into the wonderfully enigmatic world of Aubrey Plaza! In our second episode predicting future Oscar nominees, Aubrey felt like an obvious choice. She’s got it all - the talent, the charm, and a whole raft of underappreciated films/performances to make her feel overdue for voting bodies. It’s all a matter of the time. We hope. Join us as we talk about this an

Adeel Akhtar| E66 | Four Lions, The Big Sick, Murder Mystery, Ali & Ava, Pan

We are back for our first episode of 2024 and it's a special one... We're kicking off with a focus on actors we think are destined for nominations in the near future! And Michael is putting his chips on the marvellous Adeel Akhtar. Adeel's filmography is an eclectic mix that includes Four Lions (Christopher Morris, 2010) Pan (Joe Wright, 2015), The Big Sick (Michael Sh

It's time to celebrate two legends. As Michael (our lovely co-host and producer) celebrates his birthday, he wanted to focus an episode on one his absolute favourite actors... Kristin Scott Thomas! Kristin is our second official 'Dame' for the podcast but somehow she never seems to get the appreciation of her contemporaries. Not here! Join us as we cover Kristin's f

Lizzy Caplan | E64 | Mean Girls, Cloverfield, Hot Tub Time Machine, Bachelorette, The Interview, Now You See Me 2

This week we were delighted to take on another audience suggestion to dive into the film career of Lizzy Caplan. On the big screen Lizzy will be known to many for her iconic turn as Janice Ian in Mean Girls (Mark Waters, 2004), where her quote-a-long line readings and frenetic energy began her rise to stardom. From there she would continue to deliver committed big screen work in th

Kelly Reilly | E63 | Calarvy, Flight, A Haunting in Venice, Eden Lake, Mrs Henderson Presents, Pride & Prejudice

Nov 08 2023 60 mins

Let’s get everyone talking about Kelly Reilly! Kelly is a performer who clearly has a lot of industry respect, racking up many noteworthy credits. But where these roles felt primed to launch her to lofty heights, things never quite lined up as we’d imagine for someone who feels destined for big things. In this career retrospective, we take on some of Kelly’s film highlight

Eva Mendes | E62 | Hitch, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Holy Motors, The Place Beyond the Pines, Last Night, The Other Guys, The Women

Let's talk about...Eva Mendes. Our host Scott has been eager to focus on Eva's career since the start of the podcast and FINALLY here we are... And what an interesting filmography to reflect on! There's her roles alongside questionable cops in Training Day (Antoine Fuqua, 2001), The Other Guys (Adam McKay, 2010) and Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans (Werner Herzo

Harvey Fierstein | E61 | Torch Song Trilogy, Mrs. Doubtfire, Independence Day, Bros, Death to Smoochy

Harvey Fierstein!! A name (and a voice) that will conjure up great feelings of affection to those familiar with him. He is a monumental figure in theatre - with a plethora of awards to back it up - and he helped pave the way for queer representation in Hollywood, but where are the film roles?? He will be known to most for his memorable turns as Frank, the make-up artist who turns h
