We’re taking a trip back to cinema’s silent era this week to look at the new nostalgic (and divisive!) dirty bomb by American boy wonder Damien Chazelle, we coo the praise of the great Vicky Krieps who brings complex emotion to a dying woman in Emily Etef’s More Than Ever, and in Film Club we look back to the scintillating Clara Bow comedy, It, from 1927, in homage to Margot Robbie’s hell-raising starlet in Babylon. We’ll also be wrapping things up on a new segment where our guests recommend their non-movie cultural highlights.Joining host Leila Latif are LWLies editor David Jenkins and journalist Christina Newland.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.

TÁR | M3GAN | All That Jazz
We're reckoning with two new girlboss icons and one Hollywood legend in this weeks' Truth & Movies, as Todd Fields' feted psychodrama TÁR and Gerard Johnstone's AI doll horror M3GAN hit the big screen. In Film Club, we're revisiting Bob Fosse's legendary self-critical musical All That Jazz, which was inspired by his own frenetic career and remains one of the most bracing portraits of complex genius. And we’ll be ending on a new segment where our guests recommend non-movie cultural highlights.Joining host Leila Latif are LWLies digital editor Hannah Strong and journalist Marshall Schaffer.

Avatar: The Way of Water | Terminator | Aliens
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.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.
