Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy and The Order (Movie Squad Podcast #474)

Love is in the air (for at least one of the films on the docket) in this v. v. romantic instalment of the Movie Squad podcast!

For this Valentine’s Day special, Breakfast host Pamela Boland presses Tristan Fidler and Lucy Rutherford on their feelings about lurve. Then, Lucy leads a review of the long-awaited Bridget Jones sequel Mad About the Boy, which sees Renee Zellweger’s ‘Bridge’ choosing between Chiwetel Ejiofor and Leo Woodall. It’s now showing in Australian cinemas.

Then, lurve takes a backseat as Tristan takes a look at a slightly (okay, a lot) less romantic feature: Justin Kurzel’s The Order, starring Jude Law as an FBI agent chasing down a white supremacist movement led by real-life neo-Nazi Bob Matthews (played by Nicholas Hoult). The Order is now streaming in Australia.

Stay tuned for a pod-exclusive chat about Lucy and Tristan’s favourite film romances.
