This week we're talking about Limbo (2020), a British indie film written and directed by Ben Sharrock. It's a story about a Syrian musician, Omar, who is seeking asylum in the UK on a (very cold) Scottish island. He and his three housemates take cultural awareness classes and wait in a near-empty house for their asylum claims to be processed. We chat about the deadpan humour, the characters and the unexpected 'Friends' cameo. We were also lucky enough to ask Amir El-Masry, who plays Omar, some questions about his time preparing for the role and shooting the film. It sounded like a lot of fun. Enjoy!

Limbo is available to watch on MUBI

Next episode's film: Ponyo (2008) directed by Hayao Miyazaki

It's nearly Halloween! So time for some horror. We're talking about Midsommar (2019) written and directed by Ari Aster. We discuss genre (is this even a horror?!), A24 and much more. We answer questions from you guys and we also have our first ever In The Club guest... Florence Pugh! We were lucky enough to ask her some questions about the filming process, which sounds like it was pretty bonkers. Enjoy!

The first episode of series 2 is here! Maisie is hosting this week and we're chatting about the one and only Legally Blonde (2001) directed by Robert Luketic.
