George Mackay is one of the most interesting young actors from these shores and a firm CineSkinny favourite. We were massive fans of Mackay's recent film, Femme, from last year, and barely an episode goes by on the pod without us mentioning the wonderful Pride.

Back in March, we sat down with Mackay while he was visiting Glasgow Film Festival for the UK premiere of The Beast, a heady sci-fi romance spread across three timelines. We chat to him about The Beast, AI, his favourite film roles and having to act in French opposite Léa Seydoux. Have a listen!
