Listen to Boy Week! Reviews of Warfare, Sinners, and The Rehearsal41:5525 April 2025

It’s Boy Week on Primal Screen, as guest host Alice McShane is joined by Will Cox and Maudie Osborne to take us through discussions and reviews of the boy-heavy releases Warfare, Sinners, and The Rehearsal.

Warfare is the latest film from A24, with director Alex Garland (Civil War, Ex Machina) turning his attention to the war genre. Following a squad of soldiers throughout a particularly fraught battle, the film is set in real time and is a masterclass in building tension and terror for the big screen.

Sinners, directed by Ryan Coogler (Black Panther, Fruitvale Station), follows two brothers who return to their small Southern town in the 1930s to open a juke joint—hoping to build a sanctuary for their community. But their dream takes a dark turn as the racist townsfolk intervene, unleashing a wave of sinister and supernatural events.

The Rehearsal returns for a second season from ‘sinister nerd’ Nathan Fielder, who uses this offbeat ‘documentary’ series to explore a single, surreal question: What if you could rehearse every moment of your life? With a team of actors and meticulously crafted sets that mirror reality down to the smallest detail, Fielder turns hypothetical anxieties into elaborate experiments.
