Film Weekly podcast: revisiting the past with Snowtown and We Were Here

On Film Weekly this week, Jason Solomons meets Australian actor Daniel Henshall to talk about playing one of Australia's most notorious serial killers, John Bunting, in the film Snowtown. Justin Kurzel's film dramatises the infamous 1990s "bodies in the barrels" killings, in which Bunting tortured and murdered 11 people.

Next, Jason meets David Weissman, the director of acclaimed documentary We Were Here. The film looks at the impact of Aids in 1980s San Francisco, focussing on the testimonies of five survivors of what was then dubbed the "gay plague".

Xan Brooks joins Jason to review some of this week's other big releases, including new Nicolas Cage revenge thriller Justice, and the latest chapter in undead-emo saga Twilight: Breaking Dawn.
