The name is Solomons, Jason Solomons and this week Jason celebrates the world's most powerful film franchise, Bond. To mark the centenary of the birth of the series' larger than life producer, Cubby Broccoli, BFI Southbank is running a season of Bond movies. Jason talks to Cubby's daughter Barbara Broccoli and stepson Michael Wilson at Bond headquarters in London's Piccadilly.
You Only Live Twice? Rubbish, if you're a vampire, you live forever, especially in Sweden. Vampires are the subject of director Tomas Alfredson's film, the coming-of-age horror movie Let the Right One In. Jason talks to Tomas about blood, animalistic needs and Morrissey.
Jason is joined in the pod by Xan Brooks to review the week's releases. First up is the time-travel, body-swap comedy 17 Again, with Zac Efron fresh from High School Musical 3 and Matthew Perry; the Disney remake Race to Witch Mountain, with two alien children trying to find their way back to their home planet with the help of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. And the chilling Chilean tale Tony Manero, set against the backdrop of Pinochet's reign with Alfredo Castro playing Raul, a serial killer obsessed with John Travolta's character from Saturday Night Fever.
