Film Weekly podcast

If it's Thursday it must be the weekly film podcast (which we call Film Weekly), our weekly cruise through the week in film. At the helm stands your glamorous skipper Jason Solomons, while the deck is home to all manner of chatty pundits, seductive film clips and jostling celebrities with products to push.

This time around Satan (Sheitan) star Vincent Cassel drops by to discuss a career that has carried him from La Haine to a profitable niche as Hollywood's venal Frenchman of choice. Elsewhere Danny Glover leaves the lethal weapon at the door in order to talk us through his more peaceable role as an ambassador for African cinema.

We have reviews of all the big releases - including films from Clint Eastwood and Robert De Niro - plus a preview of Sunday's Academy Awards in Los Angeles.

Joining Jason to discuss this year's Oscar hopefuls is the TV presenter Sarah Cawood ... and me. One of us, needless to say, is charming and erudite, a sparky broadcaster with a keen fashion sense ... and the other comes across as an inarticulate buffoon. While modesty forbids me from naming names, I'm confident the listener will know exactly which one is which.
