House Of The Dragon has wrapped up its first series and now all us Game Of Thrones fans are left waiting well over a year for the next episode to land in - gulp - 2024. To help assuage the pain, Ali has teamed up with friend of the podcast Steffan Powell (formerly of Radio 1's Newsbeat, now the BBC's Gaming Reporter) for a bit of low-on-expertise-but-high-on-enthusiasm spoilerific chat about the GoT prequel. You know, just the way we like it here at Radio 1's Screen Time, eh?

A very special spoiler special for you this week - one that relies on you having watched the new Fallout series, what with it being... all about the new Fallout series. What makes it extra special is the reappearance of one of its stars on this here podcast, Ella Purnell herself, who plays Lucy in the show and is casually utterly excellent. She stops by for 15 mins of spoilery chat, then new friend of the show Jane Douglas - broadcaster, gamer, D&Der; and Fallout fan - sits down with Ali for a very, very rambly (even by Ali's standards) wander around the spoiler wasteland. Okie dokie? Okie dokie.

Veteran of The Queen's Gambit, Last Night In Soho, The Menu, The Northman and, well, this here podcast, Anya Taylor Joy returns to talk to Ali about her experiences on set in the desert with director George Miller as they worked on Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. Plus! Mad (in a nice way) Mad Max fan - okay, expert - Ian Nathan stops by to talk about the franchise as whole and the incredible story of how the previous film, Fury Road, somehow managed to make its way into cinemas after the most unbelievable production.

Friend of the show (and The Independent's chief film critic) Clarisse Loughrey joins forces with Digital Spy's Movies Editor Ian Sandwell to review the biggest releases of the past few weeks with good ol' Ali, including The Fall Guy, Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes, The Idea Of You, Back In Black and much, much more. Spoilers are avoided, so if you're keen to watch any of these, fear not: only casual allusions are alluded to.

By now, you'd think Ali would have shut up about going on holiday to Japan... and yet, that's somehow not the case - but with good reason! Joining him to talk about the critically adored drama series Shōgun is his new best pal Chris Broad - creator of the Abroad In Japan YouTube channel and a man who knows a thing or two about the land of the rising sun - and now you can enjoy their exceptionally geeky and thoroughly spoiler-filled conversation yourself, with one of them (Ali) still jetlagged and the other (Chris) in his studio in Tokyo. Fingers crossed most of this makes some sort of sense.

Shōgun Spoiler Special Feat. Abroad In Japan's Chris Broad!

It’s a return visit from Such Brave Girls’ Kat Sadler for a short and sweet Ali Plumb’s film club while he shakes off the jet lag from his trip to Japan. Kat’s choice for everyone’s favourite on and off film club? National Treasure. As in, Nic Cage and Sean Bean and puzzles and stealing the declaration of Independence. It’s better than you remember, honest.
