Wes Anderson Asteroid City Interview Special

Radio 1's Screen Time

Available for over a year

Beloved writer-director Wes Anderson needs no introduction - he of The Royal Tenenbaums, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Moonrise Kingdom, The Grand Budapest Hotel and Rushmore fame - though Ali has a good bash at it, nervously and excitedly enthusing over the auteur filmmaker as he sets up his interview in honour of Wes's latest, Asteroid City (in cinemas now, as it goes), a play-cum-sci-fi about a small town in the middle of the desert centred around a meteorite that's fascinated scientists for some time. You know, that classic story. Expect cinematic book recommendations, discussions of Bryan Cranston's eating habits and a little bit on which part of which film Wes is himself proudest of.
