We are officially going interstellar with the masterminds behind Pixar’s dazzling new adventure, Elio. We’re joined by a group of talented female filmmakers, Madeline Sharafian, Domee Shi, and Mary Alice Drumm, who each bring incredible Pixar pedigree and heart to this cosmic tale of identity, connection and one very enthusiastic 11-year-old Earthling. In our chat, this award-winning trio talks about the power of the Pixar prologue and how they collaborated with some of the best minds in science to bring this story to life, as well as the one big pivot that changed everything for Elio.

Academy Award nominee Celine Song returns with sophomore film Materialists, starring Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans. Songs’ follow-up to Past Lives follows a young, ambitious New York City matchmaker who finds herself torn between the perfect guy and her imperfect ex. Leigh and Tim break down this untraditional rom-com to understand its message, characters and if love really is just another box ticking exercise, or something far more primitive than we realise.
