Heretic tells the story of two young female Mormons who turn up at Mr Reed's house in an attempt to convert him. What ensues is a twisted game of cat and mouse, chillingly marshalled by Hugh.

Based on the novel by Claire Keegan, Small Things Like These tells the story of Bill Furlong, a coal worker who makes a discovery at a local convent which forces him to confront secrets in an Irish town.

Joaquin stars alongside Lady Gaga, who plays Joker obsessive and love of his life, Harley Quinn, and also excels in her role.

Our latest guest on Soundtracking is Megan Park, writer and director of whipcrack smart comedy, My Old Ass. We don't want to say too much about the plot, but it basically involves an 18 year old girl meeting her older self having taken magic mushrooms, forcing her to reassess where she's at in life in the most profound of ways. Megan has delivered not only an exceedingly moving film, but also and exceedingly funny one.

We have an absolute guest bonanza on our latest guest on Soundtracking to celebrate the release of The Outrun, which is a quite stunning adaptation of Amy Liptrot's bestselling memoir about her recovery from alcoholism on her home islands of Orkney. As well as speaking to Amy & director Nora Fingscheidt, Edith is also joined by the film's star Saoirse Ronan TWICE - once on her own and once with co-star Paapa Essiedu.

Backbeat features no original Beatles songs, but rather tracks they performed during their live shows in Hamburg. Don produced these and also wrote the score.

After Zoe Kravitz and producers Tiffany Persons and Garret Levitz discussed Zoe's debut feature Blink Twice in our previous episode, we have another bumper edition of Soundtracking for you this time round, as first Greg Kwedar and then composer Bryce Dessner join Edith to discuss their collaboration on Greg's beautiful, moving and important film, Sing Sing. Based on the real-life Rehabilitation Through the Arts program at the world famous Sing Sing Maximum Security Prison, the film centers on a group of inmates involved in the creation of theatrical stage shows.

Our latest guest on Soundtracking is composer Martin Phipps. Among Martin's credits are Ridley Scott's Napoleon and four seasons of The Crown.

Our latest guest in this bonus episode is Paul Feig, who returns to Soundtracking to discuss his latest film, Jackpot!, which is streaming now on Prime Video. Starring Awkwafina and John Cena, Jackpot! is a black comedy caper set in the near future, where winners of a huge lottery only get to keep their billions if they avoid being killed by anyone who wants to have a crack at them by sundown. Despite the dark premise, this is very much fast-paced, gag-driven slapstick fare in which both the protagonists shine.

We have a returning guest on our latest episode of Soundtracking, as Doug Liman joins Edith to discuss The Instigators, which is streaming now on Apple TV. Boasting a stellar cast including Matt Damon, Casey Affleck, Hong Chau and Alfred Molina, The Instigators sees two thieves go on the run in the wake of a botched robbery in the company of one of their therapists.

The Lost Tapes uses her archives and newly found audio to allow Taylor to narrate her own story, interspersing photos, video footage and iconic moments for her film. Logan's score has not yet been released, so we're very grateful to him for sharing a couple of his cues with us.

We have a bonus episode of Soundtracking today, brought to you by our very good friends at BMW, marking the release of Deadpool & Wolverine. For the past 6 years, BMW have worked incredibly closely with British GQ magazine to help celebrate heroic figures who shape society, culminating in the wonderful GQ Heroes summit, which happens once a year in the Oxfordshire countryside. It’s a few days where the world's most interesting and inspiring minds, game-changers and radical creatives come together to share big ideas with a very small and intimate group of people.  We were extremely honoured to be asked back this year - not only to listen to legends of the entertainment industry, design icons, activists and so much more, but also catch up with the trailblazing talent that is Emma Corrin. Emma can be seen playing the role of Cassandra Nova in Deadpool & Wolverine, which is on general release now.  Emma is someone who uses their platform as a voice for so many, in turn giving people the strength to find a voice of their own. This was all the more special for Edith as she was lucky to have conducted their first ever interview, months before anyone had seen them play the role that catapulted them onto television screens around the world - a young Princess Diana in the Crown.  

Our latest guest on Soundtracking is Erica Tremblay, co-writer and director of Fancy Dance, which is streaming now on Apple TV. Fancy Dance tells the story of Jax - who has cared for her niece, Roki, on the Seneca-Cayuga reservation in Oklahoma since the disappearance of her sister. Every spare minute Jax has goes into finding her missing sister as she helps Roki prepare for an upcoming powwow.

Our latest guest on Soundtracking is the delightful Lee Isaac Chung, who joins us to discuss his magnificent summer blockbuster, Twisters. A loose sequel to the 1996 film, it stars Daisy Edgar-Jones as a former storm chaser drawn back to the wide-open plains of Oklahoma as multiple weather systems dangerously converge. Twisters is scored by Benjamin Wallfisch - but also features plenty of great country music.

Our latest guests on Soundtracking are writer/director Josh Margolin and composer Nick  Chuba, who joined forces on Josh's new film Thelma. Thelma tells the story of a 93-year-old grandmother who loses $10,000 to a con artist on the phone. With help from a friend and his motorized scooter, she embarks on a treacherous journey across Los Angeles to reclaim what was taken from her. Nick's score has echoes of the Ocean's movies, and evokes the spirit of action films from the 60s and 70s with its jazzy sensibility. As always, you'll hear extracts of it throughout the chat.

Our latest guest on Soundtracking is something of a cinematic polymath - a writer, director, editor and sound designer - the latter being a job description he basically coined. Walter Murch joined Edith to discuss the 50th anniversary of The Conversation, which has been re-released in selected cinemas so you can enjoy it in all its glory on the big screen. Walter took care of the sound and editing on that for starters! We also unpack (some of) the rest of his long and fruitful relationship with Francis Ford Coppola, which also encompasses Apocalypse Now and the Godfather Trilogy.

Our latest guest on Soundtracking is actor Andrew Scott, who joined Edith in front of an audience as part of our Everyman Soundtracking Film Club to discuss the critically-lauded Netflix series, Ripley. Shot in black and white, it's a dark, brooding and beautiful retelling of Patricia Highsmith's classic novel The Talented Mr Ripley - in which Andrew delivers a performance as the titular antihero described by the Guardian newspaper as 'absolutely spellbinding'.

Our guest today is music supervisor extraordinaire Maggie Phillips, who has an incredible list of credits including Normal People, Moonlight, Shogun, The Handmaid's Tale, Mr Robot, Fargo and The Great. I absolutely loved talking to Maggie - and also her dog, who seemed keen to join what was an absolutely fascinating conversation.

Our latest guest on Soundtracking is the wonderful Jeff Nicholls, who joins us to discuss his brilliant new film, The Bikeriders. Inspired by a book of the same name by photo-journalist Danny Lyon, it tells the story of The Vandals MC, a motorcycle club from Illinois in the 60s, and features a fantastic cast including Jodie Comer, Austin Butler and Tom Hardy. By Jeff's reckoning, The Bikeriders showcases over 30 needle-drops, so plenty to discuss.

Our latest guest on Soundtracking is someone for whom music has had a hugely important role to play in his films. Richard Linklater joined Edith to discuss Hit Man, which is streaming right now on Netflix. Based on a true story, it follows a psychology professor and undercover police contractor who also poses as a hitman. We know: the truth is indeed often stranger than fiction.

We have a bonus episode for you today, which is an Everyman Soundtracking Live with Jerry Bruckheimer and Joachim Ronning - who joined me live on stage to discuss their wonderful movie Young Woman And The Sea. Starring Daisy Ridley, it tells the story of Trudy Ederie who became the first woman to swim the English Channel in 1926, but has since been largely forgotten. Until now, that is!

Edith has been wanting to get our latest guest on Soundtracking for some time, not least because of his wonderful collaborations with the likes of Steve McQueen and Denis Villeneuve. And it's his relationship with the latter that we are focussing on with editor-extraordinaire Joe Walker today, with Dune 2 now available to watch on home entertainment formats.

Our latest guests on Soundtracking are Abi Morgan and Lucy Forbes - respectively the writer and the director of the quite extraordinary Eric, which is available to watch right now on Netflix. To try to describe this series in a couple of sentences would be to do it an injustice, but very broadly speaking it involves a man who believes he can find his missing son with the help of a giant puppet called Eric.

Our latest episode of Soundtracking sees a welcome return to the podcast for composer Amelia Warner, who has provided the score for Young Woman And The Sea. Based on a true story, Young Woman And The Sea stars Daisy Ridley as swimmer Trudy Ederie, the first woman to swim the English Channel way back in 1926. Amelia's score hasn't been released yet, so she very kindly provided us with a couple of her cues by way of illustration.

Brought to you in association with BMW, Edith is joined by composer Tom Holkenborg - aka Junkie XL - post red carpet premiere in Cannes, and by director George Miller in London to discuss the music and making of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.

Our latest guest on Soundtracking is the musician, style icon and all-round delight, Anna Calvi, who joins Edith to discuss her score for seasons five and six of Peaky Blinders. Anna's music is such a key component to the culmination of the much-loved show, and hearing her talk about her creative process in soundtracking it is utterly captivating. And, thanks to our good friends at Domino Records, we've got a vinyl copy of Anna's score to seasons 5 & 6 to give away. Hurrah! All the details are on our social channels (see below) ...

It's a welcome return to Soundtracking for Luca Guadagnino, who joined Edith from Los Angeles to discuss his latest movie, Challengers.

Challengers is scored by our old friends Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross...

Our latest guest on Soundtracking is director Zack Snyder, joining Edith to discuss Part Two of Rebel Moon - entitled The Scargiver - which you can watch on Netflix now.

Both film are scored by friend of the podcast, Tom Holkenborg, aka Junkie XL.

A couple of weeks after we.brought you Dev Patel and Jordan Peele talking Monkey Man, we're delighted to say we have another live Soundtracking Everyman Film Club for you.

Starring Marissa Abela in the lead role, it predominantly charts the influence of Amy's family, her early years in the music industry and her troubled relationship with Blake Fielder Civil, encompassing her triumph at the 2008 Grammys, at which she won 5 awards including Best Album. Sam, Giles and Ian joined Edith in front of an audience at The Screen On The Green in Islington, north London.

Our latest guest on Soundtracking is Alex Garland, joining Edith to discuss his latest film as a writer / director, Civil War, scored by our old pals Ben Salisbury and Geoff Barrow. The narrative follows a group of journalists who travel across the United States during a rapidly escalating second American Civil War, with Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura and Nick Offerman among the cast. It also features some tremendous needle-drops, as discussed by Edith and Alex

Our latest guests are Dev Patel and Jordan Peele, who joined Edith for the first Soundtracking Everyman Film Club of 2024 to discuss Dev's debut feature, Monkey Man, recorded live at Screen On The Green in north London. As well as writing and producing the film (with a little help from Jordan), Dev also directed - on what was, as you'll hear, an extremely challenging shoot. Monkey Man is ostensibly a revenge thriller, drawing from the rich tradition of classic kung-fu movies. But peel back the layers and you'll find so much more - not least razorsharp socio-political commentary.

Our latest guest on Soundtracking is Neo Sora, son of Ryuichi Sakamoto and director of a final gift to the Japanese composer's fans, Opus. Recorded in late 2022, with just Ryuichi and a Yamaha grand, Opus sees him perform his most haunting, and delicate melodies in equally haunting and delicate black and white. It is a wonderfully tender, meditative and moving film, which we recommend you all to go and see.
