The Guardian Film Show: The Imposter and Shadow Dancer - audio

Professional Xan Brooks and Peter Bradshaw impersonators Catherine Shoard and Henry Barnes don their disguises to review The Imposter, Bart Layton's docu-drama about a 23-year-old Frenchman who managed to pass himself off as the missing 16-year-old son of a Texan family. We've got interviews with Layton and Charlie Parker, the private investigator who helped reveal the imposter's true identity.

There's also reviews of James Marsh's Shadow Dancer, a thriller about an IRA member forced to spy on her family by MI5. The film's stars, Andrea Riseborough and Clive Owen, and its director spoke to Andrew Pulver after the film's premiere at this year's Berlin film festival.

Last and least is The Watch, a comedy in which Ben Stiller, Jonah Hill, Vince Vaughn and Richard Ayoade form a neighbourhood watch group to tackle an alien invasion. Can this all star line-up provide a smash hit comedy to rival Ted? In a word: Nope.

This is an audio rip of guardian.co.uk/film's weekly video review show.
