Greta Gerwig, Film Club, Joan As Police Woman & Tim Key
We talk to the Oscar-nominated director of Lady Bird, which Chris Hewitt reviews, as well as another award contender The Shape Of Water. Plus Joan Wasser and a Tim Key poem.
The actor, writer and director Greta Gerwig talks about capturing her hometown of Sacramento and a complex but relatable mother-daughter relationship on screen in Lady Bird; as well as the all-important casting of Saoirse Ronan and Laurie Metcalfe (who've both been Oscar nominated for their performances)
Empire magazine's Chris Hewitt reviews Lady Bird, as well as another award contender The Shape Of Water (and Guillermo del Toro's previous gem Pan's Labyrinth). Chris also looks ahead to this weekend's BAFTAs, a Robert Pattinson film set in a lighthouse, and a new Gerard Butler project.
The multi-talented, multi-instrumentalist Joan Wasser celebrates the release of her new album Damned Devotion with a visit to the 6 Music Live Room. She talks about capturing the "firefly" that is the final lyric in her songs, and how you stay sharp by speaking up.
Finally, Tim Key puts aside his admin on Valentine's Day, dropping by 6 Music HQ, to deliver a rose and a poem.
