Reading this article, it only now occurred to me why Benedict’s accent in The Mauritanian sounded familiar to me. He sounds just like Andy Griffith! This article talks about a very specific North Carolina accent, and I wondered “Wasn’t Andy Griffith from North Carolina?”. I looked it up, and he was. Also, it helps that Matlock is on tv every day and it’s almost always on in the background while I do other things, so I hear that voice all the time.

It seems The Independent is doing the woke dumb thing and suggesting that the film is about "white saivors" based only in that question on The Guardian and ONE American movie critic. They obviously are going after BC and Jodie Foster because they are the famous one and are "defending" the movie against "accusations"
Anyway. I unfortunately clicked it and read it. There's a message saying they depends on clicks. There's nothing new in the article. Try not to be like me and don't give them any clicks! They are equally vile than The Daily Mail and the other far right tabloids!
EDITED Also interesting they use the "it's not about goodies and baddies" quote by BC as incriminating. They sure believe in "goodies" (they are only they) and "baddies" (everyone else).

That News Talk interview is great! The whole thing is 52 minutes, but the discussion about The Mauritanian begins at around 15:00 and the interview with Benedict begins at around 17:00. His interview lasts about 15 minutes, giving him plenty of time to give his long, rambling answers to the questions. Ha!
I really liked that the interviewer asked him about his career near the end of the interview, and Benedict described how he chooses roles.

I loved BC's comments about Saudi Arabia and the West. I would have liked it that it were longer and he talking about other projects.

I’ve tried, but I’m not able to join the panel discussion I registered for earlier. It keeps telling me that the “address is invalid”.
Maybe they’ll post it later.

I watched it! It was very good even with the few technical problems.
Here is him responding his second question while dressing as Doctor Strange!
