Best in Show: At the BAFTAs, Banshees’ Carter Burwell and a Naatu Naatu afteRRR paRRRty

Our London editor Ella Kemp joins hosts Mia, Brian and Gemma from the BAFTA winners’ circle as we cover the victors and snubs. The Banshees of Inisherin composer Carter Burwell dives deep into his Twilight memories, and ‘Naatu Naatu’ songwriters M.M. Keeravani and Chandrabose join us for an AfteRRR PaRRRty, along with RRR star Ram Charan, to tell us how they celebrated their Oscar nomination and whether we’ll see the hook step at the 95th Academy Awards!

We also hear from Triangle of Sadness star Dolly de Leon on the BAFTA red carpet; the brand new Michelle Yeoh tee collab between Letterboxd and Girls on Tops; a lightning round of guild awards so far; Avatar: The Way of Water has its water much-awarded; a rant about the workers’ crisis inside VFX studios; the Tom Hooper industrial complex; and a little tease of the upcoming lesbian road trip comedy from Ethan Coen.
