Film critic, teacher and author JOHN BLEASDALE gives us the five tracks he will meet in Hell!

John tells us all about his new book, The Magic Hours: The Films and Hidden Life of Terrence Malick, including why he chose the famously fame-shunning director as his subject. We also talk about how even the worst job you've ever done is improved by being a man in the 1980s, we get reacquainted with a band that are fast becoming Hellish regulars, and discuss whether or not Timothée Chalamet is any good. John also chooses his Infernal Playlist, one song of which has a surprising tie to Malick...

You can hear John's excellent podcast, Writers on Film, in which he discusses film books with their authors, here.
