Kristoffer Borgli, the Norwegian writer-director-editor behind Sick of Myself and Dream Scenario, joins us to talk about his dark romantic comedy The Drama, starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson. We dig into what it means to make films without a moral safety net, how Borgli writes characters without passing judgement on them, why he believes the best cinema leaves you mid-argument in the car park – and the power of the non-negotiable daily nap.

Indya Moore (Pose) – actor, activist and compelling voice for compassion – joins us to talk new movie Father Mother Sister Brother, Jim Jarmusch's quietly devastating ensemble film about estranged siblings, ageing parents and all the things we leave unsaid. What begins as a simple film chat becomes a candid conversation about grief without closure, the radical act of being honest in a world that finds honesty uncomfortable, what true intimacy looks like, and the search for accountability and grace.

Amanda Peet and Matthew Shear are here to talk about Fantasy Life, their New York-set romantic comedy that won the Audience Award at South by Southwest and earned Peet a Special Jury Award for what Variety called the performance of a lifetime. They dig into what drew Peet to this unusually specific script, how writer, director and star Shear drew on his real-life experience as a Manhattan manny to write something deeply personal, and what it was like directing legends, including Judd Hirsch, Bob Balaban and Holland Taylor as a first-time filmmaker. There's also a frank and fascinating conversation about whether acting is a void that can ever truly be filled.
