The Son review

Popcorn Podcast discusses Florian Zeller's The Son, featuring a powerful performance from Hugh Jackman as a father struggling to connect with his troubled and angry teenage son (Australian Zen McGrath). Oscar-winner Zeller once again explores the dynamics of a fractured family through the lens of mental illness in his heavy-hitting second feature film, which also boasts stellar performances from Laura Dern and Vanessa Kirby. Join Leigh and Tim for a bite-sized, but in-depth discussion into this must-see moving drama.

Plus, we talk James Gunn's DCU slate announcement; Oscars buzz; Madonna's cancelled biopic; and so much more.
