James King speaks to Zendaya and Florence Pugh, stars of Dune: Part Two, about the new film - plus Wicked Little Letters, Memory and Painting the Modern Garden: Monet and Matisse.

For the Radio 2 Culture Club, James King speaks to Zendaya and Florence Pugh, stars of Dune: Part Two, about the new film - plus Wicked Little Letters, Memory, and Painting the Modern Garden: Monet and Matisse.

There's also another track from this week's Vinyl Revival, Too-Rye-Ay by Dexys, and Jo handpicks her favourite new music from all genres of the musical spectrum!

With an all-star cast featuring Florence Pugh, Zendaya, Timothée Chalamet, Austin Butler, Dave Bautista, Christopher Walken and more, Dune: Part Two is the second instalment in director Denis Villeneuve's adaptation of the sci-fi epic. 

Wicked Little Letters features Olivia Colman as Edith Swan, a resident in the seaside town of Littlehampton who begins receiving a series of obscene, scandalous letters... the suspect? Her neighbour, Rose Gooding, played by Jessie Buckley. 

Starring Jessica Chastain and Peter Sarsgaard, Memory tells the story of social worker Sylvia and a man named Saul who follows her home from a high-school reunion, as their lives become intertwined.

Painting the Modern Garden: Monet to Matisse is based on the Royal Academy exhibition of the same name, and explores how the two impressionist painters used the modern garden to inspire their work.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
