The first order of business is Akira Kurosawa's masterpiece, Ran, which is celebrating its 40th birthday. Regular host Simon Brew is joined by The Guardian film writer Andrew Pulver to talk about the film, and the influence of Kurosawa on modern Hollywood.



And then! In come Chiwetel Ejiofor and Tom Hiddleston, two of the stars of Mike Flanagan's The Life Of Chuck, which heads to UK cinemas on 20th August. Quite the chat with these two here, rounding off an extra special episode...
