The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: 'Emilia Perez,' 'Red One' and 'All We Imagine as Light'

On this week's episode, we review a possible Oscar front-runner, a Christmas action-comedy and a promising feature debut from an Indian filmmaker. Check it all out down below.

Beth Gibbons - "Whispering Love"

After all these years, Portishead's lead singer finally released her first proper solo album in 2024. That voice. (And special shout-out to "Gracie," who provides the "instrumental ooh/hum" that's so arresting on this closing track.)

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: Sean Baker, Steve McQueen and Hugh Grant

Two auteurs and a horror movie make up this week's reviews. But, first, we had to talk about the election. Hear the whole episode down below.

'Gladiator II' Review

Gladiator II doesn't have Russell Crowe, but it does have Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington and Pedro Pascal. Is that an upgrade? My review is up at Screen International.

The Hollies - "The Air That I Breathe"

Don't want to talk about it.

'Extra Hot Great': I Survived Watching 'The Brady Bunch in the White House'

Did you know that there was a 2002 TV movie with Shelley Long and Gary Cole reprising their roles as the big-screen Carol and Mike Brady? Well, there was, and my pals at Extra Hot Great invited me on to talk about it. We also discussed Star Trek: The Next Generation and the Criterion Closet videos. This was recorded the morning of the Election. How young we were back then. Check it out below.

'Red One' Review

In Red One, Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans play, respectively, an elite security officer and a cynical tracker who have to find Santa Claus, who's been kidnapped. Will they save the day? And is the movie any good? My review is live at Screen International.
