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.

The critics hate it (30% on Rotten Tomatoes). The fans love it (90%). We land somewhere in the middle, and we have thoughts. We get into what the sequel does well — the hair, the costuming, the chemistry between Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, Lee Pace being extremely welcome — and what it doesn't. We also discuss the film's quietly radical female-centred storytelling, the very slight but very deliberate queer thread, and Nat's theory about what young women actually want from a witchy movie right now (hint: it's not lifting the love curse). Plus: our favourite witchy films and TV shows, our favourite Sandra Bullock films, and a pitch for Practical Magic 3 that we think Nicole Kidman should seriously consider. If you're going — and you should — take a girlfriend, get some wine, and for the love of all things magical, do not lug your suitcases up three flights of stairs if you don't have to!
