For the Radio 2 Culture Club, Jo chats to movie critic James King about his film choices you won’t want to miss. This week's picks include Dumb Money, The Lesson, Cassandro and the 40th anniversary re-release of the Talking Heads concert film Stop Making Sense.

40 years after the legendary concert film was first released, Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense returns to theaters. Released in 1983 and directed by renowned filmmaker Jonathan Demme, it is considered by many to be one of the greatest concert films of all time.

Based on a true story, Cassandro tells the story of SaΓΊl ArmendΓ΅riz, the first male wrestler in drag.

Starring Daryl McCormack, Julie Delpy and Richard E. Grant, physiological thriller The Lesson follows the life of Liam, an aspiring young writer who accepts a tutoring position at the family estate of renowned author JM Sinclair.

Dumb Money is the ultimate David and Goliath story. Starring Paul Dano, Shailene Woodley, Seth Rogen and more, the comedy tells the true story of everyday people who beat Wall Street by turning GameStop into the world’s hottest company.
