Our latest guests on Soundtracking are Brady Corbet and Guy Pearce, respectively director and star of multi-award winning film, The Brutalist. In it, Adrien Brody plays a Hungarian-born Jewish architect who survives the Holocaust and emigrates to the United States, where he struggles to achieve the American Dream until a wealthy client changes his life. The cast also features Felicity Jones, Joe Alwyn, Raffey Cassidy, Stacy Martin, Emma Laird and Alessandro Nivola. The Brutalist is scored by Daniel Blumberg - and both Brady and Guy talk about its remarkable intricacies at length.

Our latest guest on Soundtracking is James Mangold - a returning hero - who joins us to discuss his Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown. And, as a bonus, we also have a wee chat with Monica Barbaro, who plays Joan Baez in the movie, in what's a simply divine performance. Starring Timothee Chalomet, A Complete Unknown follows Dylan's early success until his notorious and controversial use of electronic instruments at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965.

Our latest guest on Soundtracking is Pablo Larrain, who returns to the podcast to discuss the release of his stunning biopic, Maria. Starring Angelena Jolie as Maria Callas, it follows the seven days before the opera singer's death in 1977 Paris as she reflects upon her life and career. 

Our latest guests in yet another bonus episode of Soundtracking are director John Crowley, writer Nick Payne and leading lady Florence Pugh, who joined Edith for a special Q&A to discuss their new film, We Live In Time, which is on general release now. In a beautiful, funny meditation on life, death, relationships and parenthood - among many other universal themes - Florence stars alongside Andrew Garfield as we follow a relationship over the course of a decade in non-linear fashion.

Our latest guests on an exceedingly busy period for Soundtracking are Robert Eggers and Chris Columbus, respectively the writer/ / director and producer of Nosferatu. A remake of the 1922 silent film of the same name, the film stars Bill Skarsgård as the titular character, with Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Simon McBurney and Willem Dafoe among the cast.

The final of our pre-Christmas gifts to you is composer Kris Bowers, who joins us primarily to discuss his work on the beautiful Dreamworks animation, The Wild Robot. Edith also gets into her love of Bridgerton and Green Book

Following Edith's chat with Will Ferrell and Harper Steele, the second of our Christmas Soundtracking offerings to you sees the wonderful Cynthia Erivo return to Soundtracking to discuss her performance as Elpheba Thropp in Wicked. We spoke to director John Chu and composer Stephen Schwartz around release, but we're delighted to have got a little time with Cynthia, who is absolutely magnificent in this role.

First things first: many apologies to Rafael Marmor, producer of Will & Harper, who Edith's producer Ben criminally fails to namecheck in his script to this live show at Everyman Broadgate with Will Ferrell, Harper Steele ... and RAFAEL MARMOR!!!! This is the first of a festive bundle of chats about film and music. And, boy, is it a goodie: as Edith labelled it in the shared folder where we store all our recordings for the podcast. this is the 'actual' Will Ferrell and Harper Steele. Yes, the actual Will Ferrell and Harper Steele joined Edith in front of an audience at Everyman Broadgate to discuss their beautiful documentary, Will & Harper, alongside producer Rafael.

Our latest guests on Soundtracking are Barry Jenkins and Lin Manuel Miranda, who join us to discuss their work on Mufasa, which serves as both a sequel and a prequel to the 2019 remake of the 1994 classic. Set after the events of the original, it sees Rifiki the Mandril recount Mufasa's origin story to Simba's daughter Kiara, with a little help from Timon and Pumbaa. We follow a young orphaned Mufasa as he befriends the prince Taka and is adopted by Taka's family.

Our latest guests on Soundtracking are Sam Yates, Tom Bateman and Daisy Ridley - respectively the director, writer and star of the neo-noir thriller, Magpie. In an idea originally developed by Daisy before husband Tom penned the script, it tells the story of a wife left at home with a newborn baby while her husband accompanies their daughter to a film set, where she is shooting with a famous actress. Suffice to say, plenty of twists and turns ensue.
