The Wizard of the Kremlin and The Last Viking (Movie Squad Podcast #546)

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, and listen to the latest Movie Squad podcast instead! This week, Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo bring two new cinema releases to Brekky host Pam Boland. First up, it’s the newie from Olivier Assayas, The Wizard of the Kremlin, starring Paul Dano as a (fictionalised?) power broker behind the rise of Russian secret agent Vladimir Putin (played by Jude Law). Then, as part of the 2026 Nordic Film Festival, they take a look at Mads Mikkelsen as a man who thinks he’s John Lennon in The Last Viking. Check out the whole program here. Stay tuned for an extra pod-exclusive chat as Simon and Tristan talk about the last week of Odyssey mania. Learn about the new season of Tristan’s Trash Classics screenings at Luna Cinemas held on the last Friday of every month. Be sure to tune in to RTRFM every Friday at 7:30am to hear Movie Squad live on Breakfast with Pam!
