In this week's episode of Kermode On Film you can hear the second half of the MK3D show recorded on 5th December 2022 —the 75th MK3D show live at the BFI Southbank.

Mark is joined by screenwriter Tony Kushner to talk about his collaboration with Steven Spielberg on The Fabelmans. Tony reflects on the deeply personal nature of the film and the process of working with Spielberg to bring this autobiographical story to life. And he talks about his guilty pleasure – it's a true Hollywood Classic!

Actress Aimee Lou Wood and producer Stephen Woolley talk to Mark about their film Living, in which Aimee stars.

Stephen shares how this remake of Akira Kurosawa’s Ikiru came to fruition, and Aimee discusses working with the brilliant Bill Nighy.

You can hear the first half of this MK3D show on last week’s Kermode On Film.
