Martin McDonagh delivers another brilliant cinematic two-hander with John Malkovich and Sam Rockwell at the centre of Wild Horse Nine. CIA agents Chris (Malkovich) and Lee (Rockwell) head from Santiago to Easter Island (Rapanui), shortly before the 1973 Chilean coup. Amongst the Island's iconic statues, the longtime partners wrestle with their dark pasts and present conspiracies, while Chris's bond with a pair of rebellious students complicates an already complex trip. From its sharp wit to masterful performances and unpredictable events, Leigh and Tim unpack this deeply layered and dark look at life, our choices and how we live with them. This is Leigh’s triumphant return to the podcast and an episode you won’t want to miss.

Our guest today is Primetime screenwriter Ajon Singh. His new A24 film, directed by Lance Oppenheim (You Can See Everything), looks at To Catch a Predator in its most successful period. Primetime is Singh’s first scripted feature and he initially wrote it for free after producers optioned the article on a hunch, bringing Singh on to expand the concept. In our chat, Singh talks about being stuck in the industry because his work was too “left of centre” for anyone to know what to do with it, why he admires Skyler Gisondo, what he wants Chris Hansen to know and so much more. A little heads-up that there are light spoilers for the film in this episode.

Our very special guest today is the one and only ICON, Octavia Spencer. An acclaimed American actress across film and television, as well as an author, voice actor and producer, she is perhaps best known for her Academy Award-winning supporting performance as Minny Jackson in the 2011 drama The Help. We are delighted to talk to her about her most recent project Ride or Die; a kick-arse series on Prime Video co-starring friend of the pod Hannah Waddingham. In our chat, we cover what a real-life ride or die looks like. It’s a lovely answer, and it’ll make you want to text your best friend. And the big one: why the show hasn’t been renewed, whether there’s hope for season two, and whether it could live on as a film.
