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

Joining Sky’s entertainment reporter Claire Gregory this week is TV and movie review Stevie Wong, and arts and entertainment reporter Bethany Minelle.

On this week’s show, Paul Rudd tells us what he’d be getting up to in an alternative universe, as Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania hits the cinemas.

Claire, Stevie, and Bethany give their verdicts on the latest crime dramas from the BBC, The Gold and Better, which follow hot on the heels of Happy Valley. If you liked The Gold, why not listen to The Hunt For The Brink’s-Mat Gold from Sky News StoryCast?

Jenny Slate drops by to talk about her Oscar contender, Marcel The Shell With Shoes On, and tells us why she thinks her new film could be compared to a swimming pool.

Plus, if you’re needing a thriller in your life this week, hear the team’s review of new Apple TV+ movie Sharper, which stars Julianne Moore, and a dancing Sebastian Stan.

And what might happen at Sunday’s BAFTA Film Awards? Claire, Stevie, and Bethany lay down their predictions. If you want to watch any of the films before Sunday, check out this handy guide from Sky arts and entertainment reporter, and friend of the podcast, Gemma Peplow.
