Hosted by Fiona Williams, Sana Qadar, Haidee Ireland and Natalie Hambly, this is a new independent show, and the next chapter for the team known for watching closely, a bit obsessively, and always with plenty to say. As The Handmaid’s Tale expands into The Testaments, we’ll be following along week by week with episode recaps, analysis and yes, dubious predictions. Alongside that, Eyes on Screen covers new TV shows, movie releases and what to watch next, as well as older favourites worth revisiting. Each week we talk through storytelling, performance, cinematography, score and the details that make a show or film work, mixing analysis with conversation, a few theories, and the kind of thoughts that come from watching something with other people who notice everything. We’ll also be speaking with cast and creators, sharing interviews and insider insight to deepen the connection to the TV shows and movies we love, and explore how they’re made behind the scenes.

We read your comments on our recent episodes (including some very spirited takes on Off Campus ), shout out your show recommendations, and go deep on a few things we've been watching ourselves. Nat has fallen hard for Ride or Die — Hannah Waddingham as an assassin with a best friend played by Octavia Spencer — and makes a compelling case for why it's the female spy show we've all been waiting for. Fiona confesses to being three seasons deep into America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and has absolutely no regrets. We also take a moment to celebrate the life and work of the beloved Sam Neill — sharing favourite films, favourite memories, and in Fiona's case, a very charming cup of tea. Plus: your listener recommendations including Paradise , Silo , Widows Bay , Pluribus , Slow Horses and more. And we tease what's coming next week — Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey , which is apparently packing out cinemas everywhere. Careful with your choc tops.
