Jude Law is starting the new year off strong! He's starring in a brand new Star Wars series called Skeleton Crew and he's also featured opposite Nicholas Hoult in The Order. It's a crime drama, based on a true story of a veteran FBI agent who’s traveled to the Pacific Northwest to take on a new case, a string of robberies that he believes have ties to a neo-nazi terrorist group.
Mike Leigh says he started work on his latest movie, Hard Truths, with one actor in mind: Marianne Jean-Baptiste. They'd last collaborated in 1996's Secrets & Lies, a drama about an adopted woman meeting her birth mother. It earned five Academy Award Nominations, including one for Jean-Baptiste. Mike Leigh joins the show to talk about Hard Truths, his decades long career as a filmmaker, and James Bond.
