This week, we’re joined by the wonderful actor Yali Topol Margalith for a thoughtful and inspiring episode all about acting, storytelling, and finding your place in the industry. Yali takes us through her journey from theatre to film, sharing what it was like stepping into her roles in The Tattooist of Auschwitz and A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder.

We talk about her favourite movies, what she’s been watching lately, and the lasting impact of Stephen King’s The Long Walk. Together, we dive into the comfort of revisiting old favourites like Juno, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and 10 Things I Hate About You, and explore our shared admiration for Sean Baker and his iPhone-shot masterpiece Tangerine.

Yali also opens up about life on set, the lessons she’s learned along the way, and how she approaches her characters with empathy and honesty. We chat about the balance between doubt and bravery as an actor, how to carry characters with you once filming wraps, and the advice that continues to shape her career. She shares what it was like bringing book adaptations to life, working with authors and fans, and her excitement for her new project Alice and Steve. To top it off, we have a special giveaway for two signed books, so tune in to find out how to take part!

In this episode, we discuss our recent watches and dive into all our favourite Christmas movies, including a debate about which films truly deserve the top spot during the festive season.

We also reflect on our favourite films of 2025 and talk about the biggest movies and shows from late 2025.
