In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

This week, we are so excited to be talking about Maggie Gyllenhaal’s directorial debut - The Lost Daughter (2021). We are joined by two of the incredible producers of the film, Osnat Handelsman-Keren and Talia Kleinhendler.

The Lost Daughter stars Olivia Colman and Jessie Buckley who both play Leda at different stages of her life. A middle-aged Leda arrives for a quiet holiday on a Greek island, but things take a menacing turn when she encounters a family whose brash presence proves unsettling, at times even threatening. When a seemingly meaningless event occurs, Leda is overwhelmed by memories of the difficult, unconventional choices she made as a mother and their consequences for herself and her family.

In this episode, we discuss the lack representations of difficult motherhood and the need for more female decision-makers in film.

The Lost Daughter is currently available to stream on Netflix.

Next week we are dipping our toes into the DC Universe to talk about The Batman (2022), starring Robert Pattinson, Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano and Andy Serkis. The Batman is currently available to watch in UK cinemas.

Transcript available here.

Big BAFTA chats 2025 1:02:14

منذ 22 يومًا1:02:14

1:02:14

We're in the thick of awards season and as always, we're far more interested in seeing the industry newcomers getting their flowers. In this episode, which is turning into a bit of an annual tradition for us, we meet the five brilliant nominees of the Best British Short Film category at the 2025 EE BAFTA Film Awards. We chat to Theo Panagopoulous director of "The Flowers Stand Silently, Witnessing", Joe Weiland and Finn Constantine for their film "Marion", Franz Böhm and Hayder Hoozeer for "Rock, Paper, Scissors", Miranda Stern and Ashionye Ogene for their documentary short, "Milk" and Matty Crawford and Karima Sammout-Kanellopoulou for "Stomach Bug". We asked the filmmakers about their individual routes into filmmaking and how they found their collaborators. We chat about what it’s like working with small budgets and how, despite this, they were able to boost the production value. Oh and you can see them for yourselves, as some of these films are now on BAFTA’s YouTube and find out who wins on Sunday 16 February 7pm on BBC One & iPlayer! This episode is in collaboration with BAFTA. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

Heathers: Live Podcast at the London Podcast Festival 56:54

منذ 16 weeks56:54

56:54

It’s Winona season and we’re BACK with a special episode recorded in the company of a delightful audience in London. Yes it’s time we released to the world… our thoughts on the monumental and enduringly relevant film that cemented Winona Ryder as a star. HEATHERS! Released in 1989 and considered a flop, it’s become what we see as the original mean girl movie. In this episode we explore serious themes of mass hysteria, teen suicide…. and the unserious themes of mystery pâté. We discuss the teenage boys who seemed destined for great things but turn out to be predictable and mean (Christian Slater’s character). Maisie, a diehard Winona stan, explains why Ryder famously made a career-threatening move to join this controversial movie. Thanks to you dear listeners for choosing this film for us and thanks to the sweetest audience we could’ve asked for at London Podcast Festival <3 TW: this episode does touch on topics including suicide so listen with care.

The Parent Trap: in awe of Lindsay, Nancy Meyers and Meredith Blake 44:33

منذ 36 weeks44:33

44:33

Ending the season on a magical high chosen by the listeners. The more we get into this episode the more magic we realise The Parent Trap (1998) is. After we’ve addressed the ridiculous trauma of it all (erm…the terrible parenting decisions!), we get to the good stuff; the nostalgic joy of this film, its legacy and the fact it introduced to the world, Lindsay Lohan and director and co-writer Nancy Meyers. Wait until you hear about the other actors that were considered before Lindsay. We discuss the sheer brilliance of 11-year-old Lohan and the complicated layers of acting she pulled off during what must’ve been a long, taxing shoot. We look at how exactly they created the illusion of twins back in the 90s, both on set and in post-production. Oh, and we take a long hard look at ourselves after realising the character of Meredith Blake is only 26 years old. HOW? Tune in for some reminiscing, some making-of trivia and a gritty realistic 2024 Parent Trap remake that we cook up. A full transcript of this episode can be found here .

Polite Society: the biggest surprise of the year 47:07

منذ 37 weeks47:07

47:07

For film club this week we’re watching Polite Society, last year’s British martial arts action comedy film from debut feature filmmaker Nida Manzoor . The setup sees Ria, a London-based Pakistani Muslim girl who dreams of becoming one of Britain’s top stuntwomen. But it;s about so much more than that. It’s genre hopping, it’s a rewarding British comedy, it’s giving Kick Ass, and you know what, it’s different to the other sh*t you see in the cinemas. The film inspires us to reflect on meeting your heroes, co-dependant sisterly relationships and family who are dubious of your dreams. We agree it has the coolest stunt scenes of recent years, the perfect synergy between the choreography and camerawork being helped by the fact the cinematographer herself has a black belt in karate (OBSESSED). Maisie opens up about her experience filming stunts for Game of Thrones, the stamina and prep needed to make them look convincing, and we discuss the perseverance of stunt people in general. We cover clever sound design, budget and the 10 year journey of getting the film made. Plus, our confusion/disappointment that it’s had such a small global impact. When it gets onto streamers - we hope you all stream the **** out of it. We think you’ll love it. A full transcript of this episode can be found here .

Jennifer’s Body: butchered by the marketing campaign 46:14

منذ 38 weeks46:14

46:14

Mean Girls meets Scream? This week we passionately and lovingly rant about the cult classic, Jennifers Body (2009). Turns out back in 2009, the film industry execs, aka the boys, ruined Diablo Cody’s masterpiece. Fresh off the heels of her hit Juno, screenplay writer Cody was given free rein to create her dream horror comedy starring Megan Fox, the actress born to play the title role. The film flopped thanks to the sexist marketing targeting the wrong audience, jeopardising Megan and Diablo’s careers. Obviously we’re furious. We discuss the brilliance of the writing that firmly cements this in the high school film canon. We analyse how relatable the friends-by-default setup is and the joy of seeing toxic friendship depicted on screen. We love the Labrador puppy vs black cat energy of the Amanda Seyfried and Megan Fox duo. We compare our favourite lines and discuss the films legacy. It’s been a Maisie pick this week > enjoy the rewatch and tune in to our chat 💕 A full transcript of this episode can be found here .

How To Have Sex: lead actor & BAFTA Rising Star Mia McKenna-Bruce joins us! 48:38

منذ 39 weeks48:38

48:38

We lure the amazing Mia McKenna-Bruce to our studio to discuss our fave film of last year: How To Have Sex. She stars as the central character of Tara in this stunning film exploring sexual consent, female friendship, toxic friendship, and self discovery. Mia gives us the scoop on filming those party scenes, drunk acting tips and regressing 10 years for this role. We reflect on the weighty themes of the film. Unsurprisingly we can all identify with the experiences of the central character and it’s powerful to see the feelings of young, and yes drunk, girls, be validated onscreen. We respect how the young male characters aren’t depicted as monsters and agree how this makes the film all the more impactful. We agree that the incredible authenticity of this film is a testament to not only the writing, but also its thorough research and lengthy casting process. Maisie and Mia compare working with intimacy coordinators on set, to previous uncomfortable jobs when the role didn’t exist. And finally, we hear about Mia’s wildly different upcoming role after winning her BAFTA. How To Have Sex (2023) is the debut feature from talented writer/director Molly Manning Walker. Consider us obsessed. A full transcript of this episode can be found here . Keep up to date with us on Instagram, TikTok, Letterboxd and YouTube: @frankfilmclub Hosted on Acast.

Femme: how this gobsmacking neo-noir revenge thriller got made 43:36

منذ 40 weeks43:36

43:36

Wear an extra pair of socks because this film will knock them right off. This week we discuss Femme, the Neo-noir thriller and debut feature from directing duo Sam H. Freeman and Ng Choon Ping. In Femme, we see Jules targeted in a horrific homophobic attack, destroying his life and career. Some time after that, he encounters one of his attackers in a gay sauna and wants revenge. We discuss the inspiring journey of this film getting made, from short to feature, plus a whole new cast, with the support of Agile films. You go Agile films! We discuss the simply astounding performances from Nathan Stewart-Jarrett and George MacKay. We give serious props to the shoestring budget, the unbelievable 3 week actor prep time, and the quality of the scriptwriting. TW: this film features a lot of sexual violence. Femme (2023) is available to stream on Netflix. A full transcript of this episode can be found here .

Maestro: getting onscreen ageing so wrong and so right 46:36

منذ 41 weeks46:36

46:36

This week we watch Maestro, a film where Bradley Cooper convincingly ages before your eyes across four decades. We address his biographical film about American conductor Leonard Bernstein. In this episode, we learn a lot about Cooper’s career and directing techniques. We finally learn what a conductor actually does. We discuss whether the apparent 6 years of prep goes unnoticed as far as the performances are concerned. And we recoil in horror at Carey Mulligans lack of ageing. Maestro (2023) follows Leonard Bernstein as he begins a tumultuous relationship with actress Felicia Montealegre, upturning both of their lives. It stars Bradley Cooper, Carey Mulligan, Maya Hawke, Sarah Silverman. It is available to stream on Netflix. A full transcript of this episode can be found here .

The Holdovers: a masterclass in casting and dialogue 39:15

منذ 42 weeks39:15

39:15

This week we watch The Holdovers to finally see what all the awards fuss was all about. A film that has so much heart, it follows Paul Giamatti as an unlikeable teacher at a boarding school who is forced to chaperone a handful of students with nowhere to go over Christmas. Convincingly set in the 70s, the film was committed right down to the old school trailer. None of us expected to connect with it as much as we did, but we were won over by the people - from character actor Paul Giamatti in a role so different from the Paul from our childhoods, to newcomer Dominic Sessa. Let’s just say we had a very excited Casting Director in the room for this recording. The Holdovers (2023) is an American Christmas comedy-drama film directed by Alexander Payne and written by David Hemingson. A full transcript of this episode can be found here .

The Zone of Interest: when the credits roll and the shame washes over you 37:40

منذ 43 weeks37:40

37:40

Talking about Jonathan Glazer’s Auschwitz-set film The Zone of Interest this week was both really hard and in many ways very easy. Easy because it’s a masterclass in sound design and unusual cinematography choices. Obviously film students should be studying this for years to come. But this is no easy watch - it's a film that leaves you questioning humanity and resonates harder now than ever. We discuss the effect the film had on us, how Glazer pulled it off and the incredible reception its had. The Zone of Interest (2023) was directed by Jonathan Glazer and stars Christian Friedel and Sandra Hüller. A full transcript of this episode can be found here .

Nyad: our most divisive film yet 42:57

منذ 44 weeks42:57

42:57

For two of us, this film was deeply inspiring. For one of us, this film was simply not it. Nyad is a 2023 American biographical sports drama about swimmer Diana Nyad’s attempts to swim from Cuba to Florida, starring Annette Bening and Jodie Foster. In this episode we address the controversy of the athlete’s cheating and conclude that people need to GET A LIFE. We give serious props to the filmmakers who are legends in the world of sports documentary. But despite their credentials, we question some of their filmmaking choices. Is it too cheesy? Letterboxd hate it, Rotten Tomatoes love it. We’re the same - it’s a hung jury.

We have a group discussion with our gorgeous audience on who is “the bad guy” and if there was actually any love at all in this “love triangle” film? Starring Zendaya, Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist, Challengers is the high-stakes love triangle tennis drama from Luca Guadagnino. Thanks to the Everyman cinema for hosting us. Hosted on Acast.

May December: A film that gave us a morality crisis 50:48

منذ 45 weeks50:48

50:48

Never have we done such a 180 whilst recording an episode. Directed by Todd Haynes, we agreed May December is a gripping and technically brilliant film. By the end of the episode, we question whether we should like it so much. The film is inspired by real scandalous events and based off of real victimized people, so does Hollywood really have the right to tell this story? We discuss the DRAMA Todd Haynes brings - the music, those zooms and the sensationalized American-ness of it all. And we get Maisie's perspective on preparing to play real life characters. This episode has been a journey, we hope you enjoy <3 May December (2023) stars Natalie Portman, Julianne Moore and Charles Melton.

The Iron Claw: the crazy truth, the shattered masculinity and the triumph of Zac Efron 41:13

منذ 46 weeks41:13

41:13

We buckled ourselves down for a film about shattered masculinity (one of Han's favourite genres) and came away wholly impressed, but conflicted. Why didn't it make most of us cry? What was missing? How can one family have so much tragedy? How did we find ourselves scrutinising male actors' bodies? The double standards! Plus, we discuss the lack of awards recognition and whether actually, that kind of makes sense? There are a lot of questions, but one thing that is UNquestionable, is that this is Zac Efron's career best. Written and directed by Sean Durkin. Starring Zac Efron, Jeremy Allen White, Harris Dickinson, Lily James and Stanley Simons.

On Wednesdays, we wear pink drop episodes. This week we delve into the MGU (the Mean Girls Universe), and discuss the recent Mean Girls musical adaptation alongside the original. Who else knew Tina Fey’s screenplay is based off a single chapter in a self-help book? We discuss the phenomenal impact of the original film and our first-time viewing experiences. For us, we agree it was the first time we saw girls being truly hilarious on screen. But we question the relatability of the film and the fact that it’s aged terribly. (That cafeteria scene?!?) Tune in to find out what we think the musical DID get right. Mean Girls (2024) stars Reneé Rapp as Regina George and Angourie Rice as lady Heron and was directed by Samantha Jayne and Arturo Perez Jr. Keep up to date with us on Instagram, TikTok, Letterboxd and YouTube: @frankfilmclub A full transcript of this episode can be found here .
