At The Movies - A podcast by RNZ - Wednesdays

Simon Morris is philosophic about the built in let-downs in so many movies - whether it's an over-extended franchise, a once-reliable studio or simply a film that fails to match expectations. But there's still the possibility of being pleasantly surprised. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny sees Harrison Ford don the hat and crack the whip one last time. Co-starring Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag) and Toby Jones (The Detectorists). Country Cabaret is a French - a very French! - feelgood movie about a real-life farmer who decided to raise money by creating a cabaret, complete with dancers, jugglers, burlesque artists and conjurors - in his barn. A hit at the French Film Festival. And The last rider is a documentary about the first American to win the Tour de France cycle race, and Greg LeMond did it without drugs! Directed by Alex Holmes (Maiden).
