Christopher Nolan's epic biopic Oppenheimer is finally in cinemas, a three-hour treat-yourself-to-IMAX thriller featuring an absolutely incredible cast, including Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Rami Malek and two of our guests on this here podcast, Robert Downey Jr. and The Man Who Would Be Oppenheimer, Cillian Murphy. Christopher Nolan also makes a brief appearance, and Ali sort of embarrasses himself in front of him with a QI-like fact that could well blow your mind.

June is here, and with it - we are told - the summer. Summer means blockbuster movies, and so Radio 1's Screen Time is here, ready to remind you of what's coming out and when. With The Euros and The Olympics both fighting for your attention this year, there may not be quite as many big movies as you were expecting, but there's still a fair bunch of them, and Ali is here to guide you through the dates in your diary. Plus! Friend of the show and all-round excellent human being Daisy Ridley stops by to chat about her new film, sports biopic Young Woman And The Sea (as well as the fine art of surprising Ali on stage).

A very special spoiler special for you this week - one that relies on you having watched the new Fallout series, what with it being... all about the new Fallout series. What makes it extra special is the reappearance of one of its stars on this here podcast, Ella Purnell herself, who plays Lucy in the show and is casually utterly excellent. She stops by for 15 mins of spoilery chat, then new friend of the show Jane Douglas - broadcaster, gamer, D&Der; and Fallout fan - sits down with Ali for a very, very rambly (even by Ali's standards) wander around the spoiler wasteland. Okie dokie? Okie dokie.

Veteran of The Queen's Gambit, Last Night In Soho, The Menu, The Northman and, well, this here podcast, Anya Taylor Joy returns to talk to Ali about her experiences on set in the desert with director George Miller as they worked on Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. Plus! Mad (in a nice way) Mad Max fan - okay, expert - Ian Nathan stops by to talk about the franchise as whole and the incredible story of how the previous film, Fury Road, somehow managed to make its way into cinemas after the most unbelievable production.

Friend of the show (and The Independent's chief film critic) Clarisse Loughrey joins forces with Digital Spy's Movies Editor Ian Sandwell to review the biggest releases of the past few weeks with good ol' Ali, including The Fall Guy, Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes, The Idea Of You, Back In Black and much, much more. Spoilers are avoided, so if you're keen to watch any of these, fear not: only casual allusions are alluded to.

By now, you'd think Ali would have shut up about going on holiday to Japan... and yet, that's somehow not the case - but with good reason! Joining him to talk about the critically adored drama series Shōgun is his new best pal Chris Broad - creator of the Abroad In Japan YouTube channel and a man who knows a thing or two about the land of the rising sun - and now you can enjoy their exceptionally geeky and thoroughly spoiler-filled conversation yourself, with one of them (Ali) still jetlagged and the other (Chris) in his studio in Tokyo. Fingers crossed most of this makes some sort of sense.
