Movie Hot Takes!

I Know That Face

Show Notes

In this week's episode of I Know That Face, we're trying out a new format: Movie Hot Takes! Who is the true king of sci-fi, Denis Villeneuve or James Cameron? Which Oscar-winning director is overrated? Are films too long now? Are most sequels better than the original? We hash out these questions, and more, while also providing some cool film recommendations, as usual.

Andrew, Katie and Stephen are doing a movie review round-up this episode. We're talking about some of our favourites from the first quarter of 2026, both new releases and first watches.

I Know That Face is back, but we're not talking about character actors in this episode. Inspired by post-Christmas and post-Christmas gifts, Andrew and Stephen are showing off some of their favourite Blu-rays and DVDs, all the while trying to convince Katie to join them on their physical journey. Andrew and Stephen's picks range from a horror that the BBC banned, another spooky flick described as 'IT for old people', films that inspired Ben Affleck's The Town and Vince Gilligan's Pluribus, and a movie that Stephen calls one of his favourites of the 21st century.

We're back with a brand new episode! Hosts Andrew, Katie and Stephen head to the heat of the Mississippi Delta and plenty of other warm places too, in covering Delroy Lindo. The acclaimed character actor is perhaps best known for his roles in David Mamet's Heist, Spike Lee's Da 5 Bloods, The Core and Gone in 60 Seconds. He was also recently nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his scene-stealing turn in Ryan Coogler's record-breaking Sinners. Before they get into Lindo's career, the hosts discuss their recent watches, including Emerald Fennell's film adaptation of Wuthering Heights and RTÉ's new show These Sacred Vows.
