Interview with F1 Director Joseph Kosinski | Evolving Beyond Top Gun: Maverick, Collaborating with Hans Zimmer & Steering Brad Pitt’s Next Chapter
On this episode of The Movie Podcast, we're joined by Director Joseph Kosinski to discuss Apple Original Films’ “F1” which makes its global streaming debut today on Apple TV. Dubbed “the greatest that never was,” Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) was FORMULA 1’s most promising phenom of the 1990s until an accident on the track nearly ended his career. Thirty years later, he’s a nomadic racer-for-hire when he’s approached by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), owner of a struggling FORMULA 1 team that is on the verge of collapse. Ruben convinces Sonny to come back to FORMULA 1 for one last shot at saving the team and being the best in the world. He’ll drive alongside Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), the team’s hotshot rookie intent on setting his own pace. But as the engines roar, Sonny’s past catches up with him and he finds that in FORMULA 1, your teammate is your fiercest competition — and the road to redemption is not something you can travel alone.

Interview with Daniel Craig and Rian Johnson of Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (Netflix)
On this episode of The Movie Podcast, Daniel and Shahbaz are joined by Writer and Director Rian Johnson, along with Daniel Craig to discuss the latest Benoit Blanc whodunit, WAKE UP DEAD MAN: A Knives Out Mystery. When young priest Jud Duplenticy (Josh O’Connor) is sent to assist charismatic firebrand Monsignor Jefferson Wicks (Josh Brolin), it’s clear that all is not well in the pews. Wicks’s modest-but-devoted flock includes devout church lady Martha Delacroix (Glenn Close), circumspect groundskeeper Samson Holt (Thomas Haden Church), tightly-wound lawyer Vera Draven, Esq. (Kerry Washington), aspiring politician Cy Draven (Daryl McCormack), town doctor Nat Sharp (Jeremy Renner), best-selling author Lee Ross (Andrew Scott), and concert cellist Simone Vivane (Cailee Spaeny). After a sudden and seemingly impossible murder rocks the town, the lack of an obvious suspect prompts local police chief Geraldine Scott (Mila Kunis) to join forces with renowned detective Benoit Blanc to unravel a mystery that defies all logic. Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery is in select theatres November 26 and Netflix December 12, 2025.
