This week Jason Solomons is joined by Withnail & I writer/director Bruce Robinson, who discusses his Hollywood career in bold, bald terms and explains why Hunter S. Thompson's novel The Rum Diary (and Johnny Depp) drew him back to directing.
Documentary film-maker Errol Morris's films have led to the release of a falsely accused death row inmate (The Thin Blue Line) and won an Oscar for the director via his brilliant portrait of former U.S. Secretary of Defence R.S McNamara (The Fog of War). Morris talks to Jason about his new film Tabloid, which looks at the extraordinary life of Joyce McKinney - the Wyoming beauty queen who became a UK tabloid sensation after the 'manacled Mormon' scandal.
Xan Brooks joins Jason to review some of this week's other releases, including James McAvoy and Bill Nighy in Aardman animation latest, Arthur Christmas, Rebecca Hall and Dominic West in second world war horror The Awakening and Andrea Arnold's chilling take on Wuthering Heights.
