In this episode of Kermode on Film, Mark is joined by longtime collaborator and filmmaker Jack Howard for a live conversation recorded at Latitude Festival 2025.

Mark and Jack return to the Latitude stage to explore the current state of cinema, offering their perspectives on everything from Hollywood blockbusters to indie gems. With plenty of humour, insight, and disagreement along the way, the pair debate the highs and lows of modern filmmaking, reflect on recent releases and, with the audience, hazard a guess at who will be the next Bond.
