Pod Fuzz

A new lockdown miniseries where Pod Fuzz talks about one film at a time. This week we celebrate the 10 year anniversary of 'Four Lions', a modern comedy masterpiece from Chris Morris, starring Riz Ahmed, Kayvan Novak, Nigel Lindsay and Adeel Akhtar.

A deep dive into the thematically consistent and varied work of Riz Ahmed, both as an actor, writer and rapper. Main focus on his journey to creating his new album and short film, The Long Goodbye.

Adam, Azeem and returning guest Rahul Patel discuss the TV and film career of Armando Iannucci, director of 'The Personal History of David Copperfield'.

If it weren’t for a little movie called Parasite, Robert Eggers’ The Lighthouse would have emerged as Cannes’s most exciting premiere. But his sophomore film, which stars Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe as two increasingly batshit lighthouse keepers, was nonetheless critically acclaimed and ultimately got an Oscar nomination for Best Cinematography. Adam, Azeem and our first returning special guest Tom Sheriff ventured into The Lighthouse, and also took a good look at The Witch — definitely not the wicked witch of the East — concluding that Eggers is truly one to watch. And this episode one to listen to!

A breakdown of Taika Waititi's career in the wake of his Oscar win for 'Jojo Rabbit', including 'Thor: Ragnarok', 'Boy' and 'Hunt For The Wilderpeople'.

Greta Gerwig may have been snubbed for a Best Director nomination at the Oscars, but she's now gone one better: an episode of Pod Fuzz devoted to her career as an actor, writer and filmmaker! Alongside special guest and freelance writer Ella Kemp (Sight & Sound, Little White Lies), Adam and Azeem unpack Gerwig's exciting and increasingly illustrious filmography in front and behind the camera. They focus specifically on 'Frances Ha', 'Lady Bird' and 'Little Women' -- but also dive into what makes so great '20th Century Women', what makes 'Greenberg' such a disappointment, and why she's probably the most exciting actor-director Hollywood has seen for some time. Plus, what can we expect from her new take on Barbie?

A breakdown of Scarlett Johannson's career, including discussions of her work with Sofia Coppola, Woody Allen, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and most recently, Noah Baumbach with 'Marriage Story'.

Adam and Azeem discuss Martin Scorsese's 2010 era of films, including his newest release, The Irishman.

Azeem and Adam talk about one of the most celebrated - and one of the more controversial - directors currently working. Quentin Tarantino’s films redefined Hollywood cinema in the early 90s and have continued to impress audiences in the years since. Following a critical and commercial lull in the early-to-mid-2000s, his most recent work, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, is one of the best of the year. The co-hosts discussed what makes Tarantino such a memorable writer and filmmaker, what he gets out of his actors and why some take issue with his choices. Don’t shut this episode’s butt down.

With special guest Iana Murray (freelance film writer), Pod Fuzz returns to discuss the post-2006 career of Brad Pitt. Pitt is better than ever in his latest roles in Quentin Tarantino's 'Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood' and James Gray's 'Ad Astra'. In this episode, Iana chats with Azeem and Adam about her favourite Brad Pitt performance in 'Burn After Reading', as well as their shared adoration of Arctic Monkeys album 'Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino', Iana's first job with A24, and 'The Goldfinch'.
