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

This week, Sky’s entertainment reporter Claire Gregory is joined by arts and entertainment correspondent Katie Spencer, and reviewer Stevie Wong.

Psychological drama Tar follows a successful composer whose career goes into a tailspin after an allegation is made against her. Hear from its star and leading actress nominee, Cate Blanchett, plus the team review the film.

Katie catches up with Margot Robbie, star of new film Babylon, from La La Land director Damien Chazelle, which charts the rise of sound films, also known as talkies, in the 1920s.

But what did the team make of the three-hour-long Hollywood epic?

Also, hear Claire, Katie, and Stevie’s thoughts on new Disney Plus superhero-comedy Extraordinary – and is anyone actually watching the new winter series of Love Island?
