This week's podcast meets Quentin Tarantino, Colin Firth and Christoph Waltz at the London Critics' Circle awards, reviews Michael Moore's latest polemic Capitalism: A Love Story and talks to British actor turned all-American zombie Joe Anderson, who stars in the great B-movie The Crazies.
First up, Jason Solomons and producer Jason Phipps report from behind the scenes at the London Critics' Circle awards, where Quentin Tarantino shares why he's particularly pleased with his Dilys Powell award for outstanding contribution to film, Colin Firth speaks of his uncomplicated joy at representing Britain at the Oscars, and Christoph Waltz reveals why he's so touched at finally being recognised by London critics.
Xan Brooks then joins in to glance back at this year's Baftas – "a good corrective to the Golden Globes" – and review the week's main films: Michael Moore in impressive form with Capitalism: A Love Story, Delicatessen and Amelie's Jean-Pierre Jeunet tackling war crimes and arms manufacturing in the whimsical Micmacs, and Timothy Olyphant and Radha Mitchell running riot in The Crazies.
Finally, The Crazies co-star Joe Anderson tells Jason Solomons about going from playing Peter Hook in Anton Corbijn's Control to perfecting his hick accent for his role as the deputy sheriff in Breck Eisner's remake of the George Romero horror classic.
