Talking Pictures: Michael Shannon takes the Midnight Special

Join Michael Shannon on the Midnight Special on this week’s Talking Pictures as he talks about his latest film in The Big Interview.  It’s out now and London Mums’ resident film critic, Freda Cooper, puts the film in the spotlight, along with the week’s other new releases.  There’s Scandi-noir thriller, The Absent One, as well as documentary, I Am Belfast.

On DVD, Lily Tomlin stars as the very feisty Grandma, while Agyness Dean struggles with life in rural Scotland in Terence Davies’ Sunset Song.  Plus there’s the new top five at the British box office and the latest movie news.  And your essential guide to the movies is packed into just 20 minutes.

It’s on iTunes, TuneIn and right here on London Mums:
