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.
