Dune 3, The Odyssey + the most exciting 2026 movies

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.

Hosts Andrew Carroll, Katie McGrath and (a slightly late) Stephen Porzio discuss their most anticipated movies of 2026, from massive sure-to-be-blockbusters like Dune Part 3 and The Odyssey, to other box office hopefuls like Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day, Zach Cregger's Resident Evil and the Tom Cruise-starring Digger, to smaller genre and homegrown fare. Listen to find out about what upcoming franchise spin-off filmed in a Dublin City bar, what crime drama once banned in Ireland has become a valuable piece of IP, or what soon-to-be-released thriller Stephen thinks could be a secret sequel.

It's the end of the year, and Andrew and Stephen are joined by Katie McGrath once again to talk about the year in movies and the career of Irish character actor David Wilmot. The gang chat about such 2025 hits as 28 Years Later, F1, Sinners and the just-released Avatar: Fire and Ash. There are also some sneak previews of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, Marty Supreme, as well as a French film called Flush, where a man gets his head stuck in the toilet. After each picking our top five movies of the year, we turn to David Wilmot and his work in Irish films that defined the 21st Century, such as Intermission, Calvary, The Guard, Lies We Tell and Shadow Dancer.

This week on I Know That Face, Andrew and Stephen take each other to task over their recent Letterboxd reviews, discussing everything from the new movies The Running Man and Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, upcoming releases like Primate, to all five Twilight films.

Oscar-nominated for her role in Martin McDonagh's The Banshees of Inisherin, she has been acting since the '90s, appearing in shows like Better Call Saul and Rome, as well as films like Unleashed, F1, In the Land of Saints and Sinners, and the just-released Train Dreams.

Our resident scream queen, Katie McGrath, rejoins us for our annual Halloween episode. To start, we're talking about our spooky highs and lows of 2025, breaking down the year in horror as we go.

And now for something completely different... Well, not really. I Know That Face will continue to be your favourite character actor-focused podcast, but with a bit of a contemporary twist. For the first ten minutes of each show, we'll be discussing new trailers, new movies or just what we've been watching recently. This week, we're talking about the return of Daniel Day-Lewis in Anemone, the New French Extremity and some movies Stephen recently saw. In character actor territory, we're discussing one of Ireland's favourite sons, Aidan Gillen. From career beginnings in Some Mother's Son to some of his best TV work in Love/Hate and Game of Thrones, as well as his more recent work in Dublin detective drama Barber, we'll examine every smirking, sneering facet of Aidan Gillen's devilish smile.

For our final episode of the season, we're covering a Korean-American superstar. Starting out on The Walking Dead, Steven Yeun has gone from strength to strength on both sides of the Pacific. He's made indie action horrors like Joe Lynch's Mayhem, while also collaborating with South Korean auteurs like Bong Joon-ho on Okja and Mickey 17 and Lee Chang-dong on Burning. Yeun has transitioned easily between film and TV with roles in the Prime Video animated superhero show Invincible and on Netflix's series Beef. The actor was Oscar-nominated for his role in 2020's Minari and has consistently worked with interesting directors, such as Jordan Peele on Nope and Boots Riley on Sorry to Bother You.

An accomplished director in her own right, King has directed multiple TV episodes and the film One Night in Miami...
