Set in the mountains of Utah, Sundance Film Festival has become more than just a film festival for some filmmakers. Instead, it's a deadline. A deadline that can give new filmmakers the chance to have their films seen by some of the most influential directors and studios. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity for some, however, our very own Siân Melton returned to Park City for the 8th time so we celebrate this with a one-off podcast special.

Amy Adams didn't get an Oscar nomination for Arrival so really guys what is up with the world. How did that even happen?

In episode 20 of The 405 Film Podcast, Adam Libonatti-Roche is joined by special guest Katie Deighton to discuss La La Land, its 14 Oscar nominations and whether it deserves the plaudits.

Plus, Alexandra Howard brings us the Netflix recommendation in Under the Skin.

Our 100th Plastic Platform mix comes from Shy Girls.

BACK TO THE FUTURE. That's what this episode is called as Siân Melton and Adam Libonatti-Roche look back at 2016 to pick their favourite films whilst looking forward to what 2017 holds apart from Tom Cruise's scream in The Mummy. It was an exceptional scream wasn't it.

Apart from agreeing on Hunt for the Wilderpeople to be in our joint top 5, our lists differ greatly as Siân goes for Ghostbusters while Adam picks Prevenge and Raw to get into his top 5.

2017 is looking strong as we discuss Lego Batman, Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and HIdden Figures among other films coming out this year. Fingers crossed, we will all get to the end of it.
