Truth & Movies: A Little White Lies Podcast

As 2022 becomes a mere glint in the rearview mirror of cinema, the LWLies crew come together around the hearth for a little show and tell of the favourite movie memories from the year. The show-and-tell format sees contributors talking on two films each, and we cover the gamut from Terence Davies’s introspective bio portrait, Benediction, to the Mach 10 madness of Top Gun: Maverick. 

Joining host Leila Latif are LWLies editor David Jenkins, LWLies digital editor Hannah Strong, and LWLies editor-at-large, Adam Woodward. 

Truth & Movies is the podcast from the film experts at Little White Lies, where along with selected colleagues and friends, they discuss the latest movie releases. Truth & Movies has all your film needs covered, reviewing the latest releases big and small, keeping you across important industry news, and reassessing great films from days gone by with the Truth & Movies Film Club.

On our last regular show before Christmas, we gather together to pay tribute to the big man himself, JC. That’s right, it’s a James Cameron special. First up we return to Pandora for the long-awaited follow-up to Avatar – but more than a decade on from the first film will this blockbuster sequel hold water? Then it’s an extended edition of our Film Club, with Cameron classics The Terminator and Aliens up for discussion.

Joining host Leila Latif are LWLies Editor David Jenkins and freelance critic Kambole Campbell.

This week we give a little whistle to Guillermo del Toro’s stop-motion passion project, Pinocchio, in which the famous puppet comes to life in fascist Italy. Next up is a strange adaptation of the even stranger true story of June and Jennifer Gibbons aka The Silent Twins, starring Letitia Wright and Tamara Lawrence. And in Film Club it’s another tale of destructive twindom in film noir The Dark Mirror, where method acting meets old school movie magic.

Joining host Leila Latif are film critic Rafa Sales Ross and journalist Iana Murray.

This week, we take a peep at Noah Baumbach’s blockbuster adaptation of Don DeLillo’s famous novel, White Noise, which stars Adam Driver and also heralds Greta Gerwig’s triumphant return to the screen.
