You will hear everything in our SPOILER review of You Can See Everything. Believe the hype, Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim have delivered one of the most incredible pieces of cinema you will watch this year. Thirty-four days before she's sent to prison, notorious Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes invites a sceptical film crew to document her every move. What begins as an intimate portrait becomes a mind-bending three-year journey. Leigh and Tim dive into everything from the film’s layers of truth, deception, access and inventiveness, to its surprising sense of intimacy and most shocking moments. This review goes all the way in trying to understand exactly what it’s trying to say and the twists and turns along the way.More Popcorn: The Last Journey's heartfelt road trip toward family and the OscarsEd Jackson joins Popcorn Podcast to talk about his new documentary, The Mountain Within Me.Know someone who loves movies?

Acclaimed actor and director Olivia Wilde is our guest on Popcorn Podcast. Earlier this year, she starred in and directed The Invite, a huge indie hit that is expected to light up awards season. The Invite is an intimate ensemble piece set at a dinner party that goes sideways, with Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton rounding out the cast. In our chat, Wilde talks about why the tonal shift from chatty comedy to quiet drama paid off with audiences, and what it says about our appetite for bold, risky independent films. She also gets into how a unique rehearsal process and chronological filming turned four incredible actors into co-authors in what is celebrated as truly collaborative filmmaking.More Popcorn: Could The Invite be the best film of the year, so far?Popcorn Podcast reviews director Olivia Wilde's sophomore offering, Don't Worry DarlingKnow someone who loves movies?

Whether you’re a rattan girlie, a bamboo boy or a sexy seagrass non-binary, our Wicker review has something for everyone. In Wicker, an ostracised fisherwoman commissions the local basketmaker to weave her a husband, but when her wicker creation proves unexpectedly extraordinary, his presence ignites jealousy and upheaval that threatens their quiet village. We bow down to the brilliance of Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård for their nuanced and tender performances, marvel at the film's sound design and immersive aesthetic, and of course, get horny for all things Wicker. It’s a basketcase of a review and we wouldn’t want it any other way.More Popcorn:The Roses review: Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch lead epic battleTravel to the 10th Century for Robert Eggers' Viking saga, The NorthmanKnow someone who loves movies?

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.More Popcorn:The Banshees of Inisherin reviewInside The Bad Guys 2 with Sam Rockwell and Craig RobinsonKnow someone who loves movies?

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.More Popcorn:Why Robert Pattinson took on one of the most controversial roles of his careerKnow someone who loves movies?
