Welcome to Backstage - the film and TV podcast from Sky News.

This week, Claire, Stevie and Amy chat about some of the buzziest movies coming to London Film Festival.

Claire has a chat with the esteemed Jennifer Hudson about her legendary role in Respect as the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin.

The crew go to the North to cavort with whale catchers to review The North Water – which has gone where no drama has before and then down to Ireland for a heartfelt film called Herself.

Plus we discuss new documentary Look Away and forensic crime drama Wolfe.
