GET LOST IN SALTBURN We are jumping on the bandwagon by chatting all things Saltburn, starring Barry Keoghan, Jacob Elordi, Rosamud Pike and *ahum* little Barry Keoghan.

ELIO ELIO ELIO Come with us to the sunkissed villages of Northern Italy, where we find Timothee Chalamet and Armie Hammer demanding each other to Call Me By Your Name. Sufjan Stevens provides the movies two original songs in the shapes of "Mystery of Love" and "Visions of Gideon", but could he have been signed up to do more than just sing?
