What do dinosaurs, Anthony Bourdain and a chemotherapy retreat have in common? They're all part of Episode 66 of The Chronicle Film Podcast!

Welcome back, Chroniclers! This week we're taking on three very different films – blockbuster fantasy adventure, indie drama and an emotional coming-of-age story.

First, Paul and Ibrahim head into the suburbs with David Robert Mitchell's The End of Oak Street, starring Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor. A seemingly ordinary American family discovers that their neighbourhood has become a battleground when dinosaurs suddenly appear. Is this the blockbuster we've been waiting for?

Then Rosie joins us for Matt Johnson's Tony, a film inspired by the early life of legendary chef and travel writer Anthony Bourdain. Dominic Sessa plays the young Bourdain, with Leo Woodall, Emilia Jones and Antonio Banderas also starring.

Finally, we discuss George Jacques' Sunny Dancer, starring Bella Ramsey, Ruby Stokes, Daniel Quinn-Toye, Neil Patrick Harris and James Norton. Following Ivy, a young cancer survivor attending a chemotherapy retreat, the film explores friendship, connection and finding joy during incredibly difficult circumstances.

Does Sunny Dancer handle its sensitive subject matter with the care it deserves?

Press play on Episode 66 and join Paul, Ibrahim and Rosie as we discuss three very different films hitting cinemas this week.

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.
