This week's podcast goes from the sweltering skies of Mumbai to the icy wastes of the Arctic as Jason Solomons chats with Slumdog Millionaire film-maker Danny Boyle and actor Michelle Yeoh about her latest role in Far North.
Boyle talks about the journey of his film, from "indulgent fantasy" to Oscar contender, the adventure of working in India, and reaching for the stars. Meanwhile, Yeoh tells of the challenges of working with the diva that is mother nature on Asif Kapadia's cold-climate thriller, going for extremes in her body of work, and being inspired by the indigenous people of the far north.
After a film detox over the festive holidays, Xan Brooks joins in to review Slumdog Millionaire and the week's other big releases: Jewish resistance second-world-war drama Defiance, and laddish comedy Role Models.
