Episode #46
Tom Cruise’s Digger, Documentaries for Free & I Play Rocky.
Oct 3, 202630 min
Can Tom Cruise dig his way out of scathing reviews and into another Oscar nomination? In this week’s episode of Cinema in One Take, Kaleem Aftab and Emma Jones weigh up Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Digger: a star-studded satire with plenty of ambition, but a twist that leaves them both unconvinced. Plus, as the documentary NAZA prepares to stream for free, could giving political documentaries away help them reach wider audiences: and how then would their makers make a living? As the festival’s former Director of International Programming, Kaleem brings an insider’s perspective to the cancellation of this year’s Red Sea International Film Festival in Saudi Arabia, and the deeper question of how film festivals serve local audiences. And in what we’ve watched: Emma champions Peter Farrelly’s I Play Rocky as one of her films of the year, while Kaleem finds plenty to love in South Korean monster movie Hope. Emma… needs more persuading. No scripts, no second takes—just two film professionals talking world cinema.

Sep 26, 202631 min
In this week's Cinema in One Take, Kaleem Aftab is excited about Elsinore after its critical acclaim at Toronto, and convinced Andrew Scott will win an Oscar. Emma Jones has another Best Actor contender in mind: John Malkovich from Wild Horse Nine. They also disagree over the TIFF audience prize winner La Bola Negra, before Kaleem reviews the Oasis reunion documentary Don’t Look Back in Anger and Emma finds two centuries of familiar dating behaviour in the new Sense and Sensibility film adaptation of the Jane Austen classic. Plus, Kaleem reveals how he's ended up appearing in Cunk on Cinema.

Venice Winners, Woman Unknown, NAZA & Elon Musk
Sep 21, 202629 min
Emma Jones and Kaleem Aftab discuss the big winners from Venice, including Golden Lion winner by Mai El-Toukhy, Woman Unknown, and its newly crowned Best Actress, Mathilde Arcel. In this week's episode of Cinema in One Take, they explore the film’s gripping portrait of the treatment of women accused of sleeping with the enemy in WW2, as well as the Special Jury Prize winner NAZA, Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor’s documentary from Israel. Emma also reviews Alex Gibney’s four-hour portrait of Elon Musk, while Kaleem enjoys a victory lap over Spider-Man’s record-breaking box office. Update since recording: Universal has now said it is working on an international theatrical release for Musk, after media reports that the studio was reconsidering its plans. Elon Musk has called the documentary a “hit piece” and disputes its account.

Together in Venice: Wild Horse Nine’s Oscar Buzz, Bunker & Place to Be
Sep 10, 202613 min
Journalists Emma Jones and Kaleem Aftab finally record together in person for a special mini-edition of Cinema in One Take from the Venice Film Festival. They discuss Martin McDonagh’s awards contender Wild Horse Nine, Florian Zeller’s divisive marital drama Bunker, starring Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem, and Ellen Burstyn and Taika Waititi’s unlikely friendship in Kornél Mundruczó’s Place to Be. Emma champions the Danish Competition movie Woman Unknown and two striking French competition titles, while Kaleem nervously awaits her verdict on Guria—the Georgian Oscar entry he's co-produced.

Episode #42
Trainspotting at 30, De Gaulle's Film Triumph & Why Documentaries Could Steal Venice
Aug 31, 202623 min
Thirty years after Trainspotting introduced a generation to the worst toilet in Scotland, does Danny Boyle’s era-defining film still hold up — or do we simply miss being young? Kaleem recalls seeing it at one of its earliest Edinburgh screenings (for £1!) and winning a 25-word review competition, while Emma argues that civilisation peaked in the 1990s and has been deteriorating ever since. They also discuss the extraordinary French success of the lavish wartime epic De Gaulle: Résistance; the gloriously unlikely, visibly handmade animated film Niu Lai challenging Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey at the Chinese box office; and why audiences may finally be turning against AI slop. Plus, could documentaries steal the show at the Venice Film Festival? With the controversial Gaza film NAZA, Alex Gibney’s Musk and an Oasis reunion documentary all heading to the Lido, reality might prove more interesting than fiction.

FAQs

Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.

If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.

What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?

Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.

How do agency tiers work?

Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.

What is a talent profile?

A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.

Do you offer a free trial?

Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.

Is the 20% annual discount automatic?

Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.

What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?

That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
