Robert Pattinson went from playing the ultimate teen heartthrob in Twilight to taking on some of the strangest roles in contemporary cinema.

Host Laura Gommans is joined by producer Elliot Bloom to review Lance Oppenheim’s Primetime, in which Pattinson plays Chris Hansen, the host of To Catch a Predator. From the bizarre world of sensationalist reality TV to Pattinson’s wonderfully weird career choices, we discuss how an actor who could have played romantic leads forever instead gravitated towards filmmakers like David Cronenberg, Claire Denis and the Safdie brothers.

Also in this episode, we share excerpts from Laura’s conversations with Clayface stars Tom Rhys Harries and Naomi Ackie, and director James Watkins, about the films that inspired them while making this new DC origin story.

With social media hype swirling around Marty Supreme and Wuthering Heights, hosts Laura Gommans and Hugo Emmerzael unpack the marketing machinery behind both releases—and whether the films can live up to the discourse they’ve generated.

Hugo questions whether the outrage over Emerald Fennell’s reimagining of Heathcliff is worth our energy, suggesting we might be better off taking the film at face value instead of getting caught up in manufactured controversy. Meanwhile, Laura traces the evolution of movie marketin, from the event-cinema spectacle of Jaws and Jurassic Park to the viral mythmaking of The Blair Witch Project, into today’s algorithm-driven campaigns built on shock, virality, and off-screen narratives.

Together they discuss how in an era of social media spectacle, are studios selling us the film—or the conversation around it?
