Welcome back, fellow Chroniclers!

Paul is joined by Rosie and first-time guest Danny to discuss one of Marvel's biggest releases of the year—Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

Can Tom Holland's latest outing as Spider-Man breathe new life into the Marvel Cinematic Universe after a difficult few years, or is this another superhero adventure that fails to stick the landing?

Set several years after Spider-Man: No Way Home, Peter Parker embraces life as a full-time superhero after the world forgets his identity. However, a dangerous new threat forces him into another battle where everything he loves is put at risk.

We'll dive into the performances from Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Mark Ruffalo, Florence Pugh, Sadie Sink and Tramell Tillman, while discussing the story, action, villains, Damage Control, and whether this is the MCU's return to form.

By the will of Zeus, we're back!

Rosie, Ibrahim and Lottie return for another episode of The Chronicle Podcast, this time discussing one of the biggest films of the year—Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.

With the film now a week into its theatrical run, it's the perfect time to step back from the opening weekend excitement and ask the big question: Does The Odyssey actually deserve all the hype?

Based on Homer's legendary epic poem, the film follows King Odysseus (Matt Damon) as he fights his way across dangerous seas during his ten-year journey home following the Trojan War. Facing mythical creatures, gods, witches and impossible trials, Odysseus battles to return to his wife Penelope (Anne Hathaway), who must keep relentless suitors at bay while waiting for his return.

Featuring an incredible ensemble cast including Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Jon Bernthal and Zendaya, Christopher Nolan delivers his most ambitious production yet.

The team also debates whether audiences should experience the film in IMAX, with Nolan once again pushing the format to its limits by filming entirely with IMAX cameras.

Listen now as we discuss:

• Our full spoiler discussion
• Christopher Nolan's direction
• Performances from the all-star cast
• IMAX vs standard screenings
• Favourite moments
• Does The Odyssey live up to expectations?
• Our final ratings

"We found you!" The Chronicle Film Podcast is back with another packed episode featuring reviews of two of this week's biggest cinema releases.

In Episode 63, Paul and Nick discuss Evil Dead Burn, the latest instalment in Sam Raimi's legendary horror franchise. Directed by Sébastien Vaniček, the film follows Alice (Souheila Yacoub), who travels to stay with her late husband's family after his funeral, only to discover a terrifying evil lurking beneath the surface.

The conversation then turns to Disney's live-action Moana, starring Dwayne Johnson as the returning demigod Maui. Does this new adaptation bring enough fresh ideas to justify revisiting one of Disney's most beloved modern classics, or is it another remake that struggles to recapture the original's magic?

Expect honest opinions, spoiler-free reviews, plenty of laughs, and our verdict on whether these films deserve your time and money.
