With the hit TV show Traitors fresh in our minds, we’re diving into one of cinema’s most delicious themes: betrayal on screen.

From shocking double-crosses to tragic backstabs, we’re counting down our top three favourite on-screen betrayals — the traitors who broke our hearts, made our jaws drop, or kept us talking long after the credits rolled.

As always, we’d love to hear your favourite movie betrayals — and whether any of them match our picks.

*For those who want to play along with Kevin's 'Two Truths and a Lie' game, his number two pick is a lie.

Award-winning Irish screenwriters Will Collins (Wolfwalkers, Song of the Sea, Star Wars: Visions) and Kevin Lehane (Grabbers, Neil Gaiman’s Likely Stories) return with Screen, Play — the podcast where something topical sparks a top three.

In our second episode, we turn our attention to the late Robert Redford, who died this week, one of Hollywood’s true icons. Actor, director, producer, activist, and founder of Sundance, Redford’s career reshaped both mainstream cinema and independent film culture across more than six decades.

We each count down our top three Redford picks: from classic performances that defined an era to the films he directed and produced that left a lasting mark. Along the way, we reflect on why Redford mattered, what he brought to the screen, and how his legacy continues to shape film today.

We’d love to hear your own favourite Redford films — and whether our choices match yours.
