Brendan Fraser, Knock At The Cabin, Bryan Cranston, and Nolly

Welcome to Backstage, the TV and film review podcast from Sky
News.

This week, Sky's entertainment reporter Claire Gregory is joined by
arts and entertainment correspondent Katie Spencer, and reviewer
Stevie Wong.

Can awards seasons ever go on without a hitch? Claire, Stevie, and
Katie talk about the Andrea Riseborough Oscars row, and whether the
Academy may change its campaigning rules.

Episode three of The Last of Us has set the internet alight - the
team look at why it's resonated with so many. If you're wanting to
avoid spoilers, skip from 09:47 to 13:12.

Brendan Fraser joins the podcast to talk all about The Whale, and
his experience of awards season so far. In this part of the
podcast, the team discuss the film's theme of obesity, which some
may find upsetting. If you'd like to avoid this, skip from 13:12 to
22:29.

Rupert Grint and director M. Night Shyamalan talk about their new
apocalyptic horror film Knock at the Cabin, with Rupert telling
Backstage why this film might have hit a little close to
home.

If you fancy a tear-jerker, the Apple TV+ show Dear Edward,
starring White Lotus and American Horror Story's Connie Britton,
might just be the one for you. Hear what the team made of this
rather bleak series.

Bryan Cranston joins the podcast to talk about series two of his
Paramount Plus series Your Honor - warning, it's a bit
bloody.

Plus, a British soap history lesson for Stevie, as the team revisit
the Crossroads Motel, with Helena Bonham Carter starring as Noele
Gordon in the Russell T. Davies' new ITVX show Nolly.
