Jessica Biel is back on the big screen for the first time in nine years with Matchbox: The Movie, and she’s sitting down with Josh for a chat covering everything from John Cena’s secret piano skills to the wildest 40th birthday parties she’s thrown for her friends.
Jessica tells Josh what convinced her to get back into movie making after so long, and the conversations she had with her husband Justin Timberlake about their children working in the entertainment industry. Plus - the funny reality of sharing a trailer with her 11 year old son Silas.
She also reflects on not finding her true voice in the industry until she became a producer in her 30s, and Josh and Jessica discuss the lasting impact of 90s body image culture, and why she thinks there’s still so much more progress to be made ten years on from the MeToo movement.
Jessica also joins the group chat to answer your questions, including her go-to quote, the book she’d love to adapt for the screen, and the unforgettable item she once put in a friend’s birthday gift basket.

James Nelson-Joyce has gone from working part-time jobs in bars and restaurants to BAFTA nominations and now, apparently, 6/1 odds to be the next James Bond. He's sitting down with Josh for a chat packed with Scouse charm and moving stories.
James talks to Josh about the iconic moment he met Stephen Graham in Nando’s, and how Stephen has become a "big brother" to him ever since; the classism he faced through his time at drama school as a working-class Scouser; and how season two of The City Is Ours is about to take the drama up a notch.
And Josh puts James on the spot, and asks him: are you the new 007?
James also joins the group chat to answer your questions, including his most irrational fear (hint: it involves golf umbrellas), and where he'd take you on a big night out in Liverpool.

Chaka takes us back to the beginnings of her iconic journey, opening up about running away from home at 16, singing in Chicago clubs for twenty dollars a night and her time with the Black Panther Party.

Make sure you stick around for the best piece of advice from his therapist that we all need to take note of!
