Robert Bound and guests Simran Hans and Jason Solomons discuss Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest film, a coming-of-age tale set in the heady summer heat of 1970s California. Underpinned by a soundtrack of original music and 1970s classics, the film winds a gentle story of young love with riotous escapades and cameos from the likes of Sean Penn and Bradley Cooper.
Robert Bound, Tim Robey and Simran Hans discuss the accents, outfits and performances in Ridley Scott’s true-crime drama, ‘House of Gucci’. Has it lived up to the hype?
We head to Prop Store, an auction house that specialises in the sale of objects and costumes from some of the biggest blockbusters in film history. Inside, we find Batman, Spiderman, Marty McFly’s hoverboard, replicas of some of cinema’s most notorious monsters and all sorts of other artefacts, all ready to go under the hammer.
Robert Bound is joined by film critics Simran Hans and Karen Krizanovich to review Denis Villeneuve's epic new sci-fi blockbuster, ‘Dune’.

This week: French-Moroccan author Leïla Slimani on her new book , ‘Sex and Lies’. Plus: we review Céline Sciamma’s latest film, ‘Portrait of a Lady on Fire’, and sit down with JP Mastey, the founder of Corpus, a unisex natural-deodorant brand.
Nearly 19 years after invading Afghanistan, the US has agreed a peace deal with the Taliban. But is that really going to be an end to it? And will the US ever try anything similar again? Andrew Mueller is joined by Belquis Ahmadi and David Kilcullen.
Are new methods of communication making it easier or harder to stay in touch and in the know? Emma Nelson is joined by documentary filmmaker Myriam Zumbühl, and Mark Dittli, editor of Swiss financial publication ‘The Market’, at The Monocle Shop and café in Zürich.
Markus Hippi and Fernando Augusto Pacheco present the best of the past week on Monocle 24, including: Oscar-winning scriptwriter Dustin Lance Black, Berlin-based architect Francis Kéré and Australian chef Maggie Beer.
All the best bits from the past seven days. We meet ‘1917’ director, Sam Mendes, hear about the return of Irish whiskey bonding and Andrew Tuck discusses the best music featuring architects.
We meet Oscar-winning director Sir Sam Mendes to learn more about his First World War epic, ‘1917’.

Plus: we speak to Francesca Cartier Brickell, a scion of the Cartier dynasty, about her family history and join Jockum Nordström’s on a tour of his latest exhibition at London’s David Zwirner gallery.
‘Monos’ has been described as a cross between ‘Lord of the Flies’ and ‘Apocalypse Now’. The film’s director, Alejandro Landes, joins us to discuss how he brought his uncompromising and timely vision to the screen. We also hear from shoe historian Elizabeth Semmelhack, whose new book explores how trainers have been shaped by the spirit of collaboration.
