What happens when two friends who worked in Hollywood leave the industry but never stop talking about movies? Cinema: A to B combines insider knowledge with genuine film enthusiasm. Each week, hosts Alec Mallmann and Ben Starkey dissect recent releases and beloved classics—from racing thrillers to folk horror, 90s action to award-winners—with the kind of technical analysis and storytelling insights you'd only get from people who've worked behind the curtain. Spoilers welcome. Movie love required. Listener requests encouraged.

In a first for Cinema: A to B a listener request brings forth a film Ben had never previously seen in the form of the 2007 fantasy film Stardust directed by Matthew Vaughn. Ben gives his initial impressions of the film and kicks off a discussion of the career of actor Charlie Cox as well as the challenges of pursuing acting in Hollywood. Alec explains key differences between the Neil Gaiman novel and the film. The guys praise the all-star cast including Michelle Pfeiffer, Robert De Niro, and Claire Danes. The conversation shifts to a discussion of the film's cinematography and visual effects and closes with a call to revisit this fairy-tale throwback.
