Two of the most hyped films of the year have been released in cinemas this week: Alex Garland's Civil War, starring Kirsten Dunst and Luca Gaudignino's Challengers, starring Zendaya.
Civil War is a bracing, incendiary and controversial look at a future, war-torn America and the role journalists play in covering conflict. Challengers is a throwback to erotic thrillers of the 90s, a tennis film that is really about sex, power and relationships.
Osman and Thomas discuss the movies, the complicated reaction to Civil War and how Challengers confirms Zendaya's star power.See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
