The Maccabees drop by!

Jo chats to The Maccabees about their 2025 reunion, and James King has the latest films for the Radio 2 Culture Club.

Jo chats to The Maccabees about their 2025 reunion, and James King has the latest films for the Radio 2 Culture Club. This week, it's all about Heretic, Anora, Small Things like These and Super/Man.

Starring Hugh Grant, Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East, Heretic is a horror thriller directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods (A Quiet Place). When two Mormon missionaries try to convert a Scottish man, it turns out far more dangerous than they expected...

Winner of this year's prestigious Palme d'Or prize at Cannes Film Festival, Anora is an American comedy-drama following the relationship between a stripper from Brooklyn and the son of a Russian oligarch.

Set in 1985, Small Things like These stars Cillian Murphy as Bill Furlong - a devoted father who uncovers disturbing secrets at the local convent.

Super/Man is a documentary about the life of American actor Christopher Reeve - who starred as Superman in the 70s and 80s - after a horse riding accident left him paralyzed.

To listen on most smart speakers just say, "Ask BBC Sounds to play Jo Whiley.”
