Radio 1's Screen Time Folgen

A mega-bonus-bumper Friday podcast for you this week, with a brief news section but an extra-long Ali Plumb's Film Club in honour of Easy A, one of the very best teen films the 21st century has to offer. Thanks again to friend of the podcast Lucy Ford for stopping by to talk about her love of Stanley Tucci and Emma Stone - and to Adam Brody, our bonus podcast interview which you can find towards the end of the episode, where he talks about his upcoming movie The Kid Detective. Told you it was a big one!

Eddie Murphy - THE Eddie Murphy - spoke to Ali recently about his new movie, Coming 2 America, the much anticipated sequel to his beloved 1988 comedy about Crown Prince Akeem (Murphy himself) traveling to New York to find his one true love. Now, decades later, the follow-up has landed on Amazon Prime Video, and we can all return to Zamunda just one more time. Oh, and just to be clear: this interview contains strong language (as you may have guessed) so forewarned is forearmed.

On this week's Friday podcast, we've got a bumper edition of 'Ali Plumb's Film Club' where friend of the show and all-round excellent person stops by to talk about Best Picture winner Gladiator, the historically fluid swords and sandals story that left millions of people trying to impersonate Russell Crowe's gravelly voice for, well, quite some time. To this day, even. We've also got a short and sweet news section, as well as a tiny clip of Russell himself from his Movies That Made Me from back in the day, just to spice things up (and show off, let's be honest).
