Our latest guest on Soundtracking is Megan Park, writer and director of whipcrack smart comedy, My Old Ass. We don't want to say too much about the plot, but it basically involves an 18 year old girl meeting her older self having taken magic mushrooms, forcing her to reassess where she's at in life in the most profound of ways. Megan has delivered not only an exceedingly moving film, but also and exceedingly funny one.

We have an absolute guest bonanza on our latest guest on Soundtracking to celebrate the release of The Outrun, which is a quite stunning adaptation of Amy Liptrot's bestselling memoir about her recovery from alcoholism on her home islands of Orkney.

Our latest guest in this bonus episode is Paul Feig, who returns to Soundtracking to discuss his latest film, Jackpot!, which is streaming now on Prime Video. Starring Awkwafina and John Cena, Jackpot! is a black comedy caper set in the near future, where winners of a huge lottery only get to keep their billions if they avoid being killed by anyone who wants to have a crack at them by sundown. Despite the dark premise, this is very much fast-paced, gag-driven slapstick fare in which both the protagonists shine.

We have a returning guest on our latest episode of Soundtracking, as Doug Liman joins Edith to discuss The Instigators, which is streaming now on Apple TV. Boasting a stellar cast including Matt Damon, Casey Affleck, Hong Chau and Alfred Molina, The Instigators sees two thieves go on the run in the wake of a botched robbery in the company of one of their therapists.
