Extra Geography

I was owed a day.

I get to go to the cinema with Emily this afternoon, late afternoon, early evening, to see a film called Extra Geography.

Okay.

what's that i

A couple of new releases, one that's obviously related to this week's episode, but one that's related to last episode.

with the wonderful team and some of the cast behind Extra Geography.

So it came out in cinemas on Friday, and I hope some of you have managed to get along to see it.

If you have, I'd love to know what you think about it.

Maya da Costa, Myra Malloy, and Zach Braff starring in Girls Like Girls.

And then one set in an English boarding school called Everett, Extra Geography which follows two teenage girls as they grapple with all the challenges of girlhood friendship boys studies growing up and their summer project to fall in love so Marnie Duggan and Galaxy Clear star in Extra Geography and then back on the big screen is Take It or Leave It which is a remastered re-release of the autobiographical account of the cult 80s British pop group Madness so that is your selection this

week quite a selection What about a TV movie for us, Gareth?

Yes, so it's an Irish movie called Baltimore and it's set amongst the political turmoil of the 1970s and a rebellious English heiress joins the Irish Republican Army and takes part in an armed raid on an estate with three comrades that eventually take a violent turn.

I think that's a little harsh as well, but there it is, two stars for Digger.

Jimbo, can you, uh, tell us about Extra Geography?

I can indeed.

Fun fact, I gave up geography at school.

All right.

Uh, okay, so three stars then.

For Extra Geography, extra stars for Extra Geography?

[laughs] Sure.

Yes.

So we have, um, uh, a new, uh, Brit pic, uh, Extra Geography.

We have, uh, Verity, which is a sort of modern erotic film noir thriller, and Digger, which is the Tom Cruise movie that you will have heard tons and tons about, but everyone has been told very specifically, "Don't say anything that will spoil it." And we also have a very special guest.

Sorry.

Correspondents@kermodeandmayo.com, tell us something that's out that might be interesting.

Okay.

So, um, Extra Geography, which is an adaptation of a 2007 story by Rose Tremain, very celebrated Rose Tremain.

This is directed by Molly Manners and features two dynamite breakout performances from Molly Dodgen and Galaxy Clear.

Whiteley's in partnership with Range Rover.

Now the movie in question is a film called Extra Geography.

And I was joined for a Q&A after a special screen and a preview screen and Special thank you to Vertigo for giving us the chance to show the film ahead of its release.

But we were joined after the screening by director Molly Manners, writer Miriam Batty, producer Sarah Brocklehurst and its two extraordinary young stars, Marnie Duggan and Galaxy Clear.

And us soundtracking and all the everyman team align naturally with Range Rover's core principles relating to leadership, cultural authority and creative excellence.

So we are so thrilled and grateful they've chosen to support our podcast, which was recorded in front of a live audience following a screening of the film.

So Extra Geography is based on a short story by Rose Tremaine, and it explores the relationship between two teenage girls and best friends at a boarding school in England.

I don't want to say too much about this film, but what I do want to say is that the way that this film and these characters has been written is with such heart and honesty.

And you can listen to Georgia, like I say, talking about that on the podcast last week.

Speaking of podcasts coming up next week, we have director Molly Manners from the breakout hit One Day and producer Sarah Brocklehurst returning hero again because they're here to talk about Extra Geography, their latest feature film.

That is an absolute brilliant chat.

I really enjoyed talking to the two of them.

Anyways, please go see Hope, it's amazing.

Okay, what is yours? So mine is Extra Geography, which comes out next Friday, is the directorial debut of Molly Manners.

I've also seen this movie.

I'll do my one second review at the end.
