Sean Wang on 'Boyhood'
First time feature director Sean Wang wanted a story that only he could tell, specific yet relatable. And so, with his new film 'Dìdi,' (a Sundance hit this year) he chose the coming-of-age genre and a semi autobiographical narrative. He was inspired in his filmmaking by a movie he'd seen in the theaters when he was around the same age as its protagonist, Mason, is at the end of the film: 'Boyhood,' Richard Linklater's grand moviemaking project shot over 12 years of the actors' (and filmmaker's) lives.
Following that discussion, Jordan has one quick thing about the forthcoming ALIEN ROMULUS.

131 - Devery Jacobs on 'The Watermelon Woman' & More
zhlédnutí 16Před 14 dny
Actor (and director, writer, producer) Devery Jacobs might be most familiar to folks from her role on RESERVATION DOGS, but she's carving out her own space in Hollywood with projects like the new movie BACKSPOT (x.com/kdeveryjacobs) (executive produced by Elliot Page and directed by D.W. Waterson). And even as she's playing her part in making sure Native actors feel seen on screens, she's still...

zhlédnutí 17Před 21 dnem
This episode originally aired in April of 2023, but has been edited to include a new and updated "One Quick Thing" at the end! Season 2 of Manzoor's We Are Lady Parts is now streaming on Peacock in the US. Balancing the dark and the light sides of coming of age, womanhood, and navigating the social order is something filmmaker Nida Manzoor always strives for in her projects (like WE ARE LADY PA...
Mamoudou Athie on 'Monkey Man'
zhlédnutí 19Před měsícem
Whether he's starring in major movies like ELEMENTAL or JURASSIC WORLD DOMINION, or sinking his teeth into roles like his his latest (in Yorgos Lanthimos' new KINDS OF KINDNESS), actor Mamoudou Athie follows his gut and ignores the algorithms. When Dev Patel's directorial debut, MONKEY MAN hit theaters earlier this year, Mamoudou found new depths of admiration for Patel as an actor and director...
June Squibb on 'Nebraska'
zhlédnutí 30Před měsícem
June Squibb was born an actor, and had a rich career on stage for years before becoming an on-screen performer in her sixties. It’s not your typical trajectory, sure, but then neither is being 94 and carrying your first feature film - which, by the way, is an action comedy. With her new movie THELMA new in theaters this weekend, the singular June Squibb joins us to talk about how the role of Ka...
Adam Goldman on 'Clue' (1985)
zhlédnutí 48Před měsícem
The movie CLUE may not have been an instant hit, but it has an enduring legacy. And maybe everyone has a favorite character. But for Adam Goldman, creator and writer of The Outs (www.theouts.com/watch) and Hot White Heist, Mr. Green (Michael McKean) is more than just a fave. He's a first example of what it means to be a "gay dipshit" (his words, we promise). Then Jordan has quick thing about a ...
Megan Rosati on 'Let the Right One In'
zhlédnutí 19Před měsícem
Actor, director, and writer Megan Rosati was not a child vampire. But from first watch, she so identified with Eli, the 12-year-old vampire in LET THE RIGHT ONE IN, the modern horror classic from Sweden, that she would show the film to people to help them understand her. In this episode, she and Jordan dig into the ways we can feel like we're different especially in adolescence and the power of...

New Yorker cartoonist and writer for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Asher Perlman, related to Charlie Kaufman's self-deprecating self-portrait in Spike Jonze's 2002 film Adaptation - a movie we discussed here in one of our earliest episodes, with author Susan Orlean. As he's grown up both as a person and a creative has he gotten more in touch with his inner Donald, Charlie's (fully fiction...

You definitely know DeWanda Wise from somewhere. She's made a splash on the big and the small screen, in titles like SHE'S GOTTA HAVE IT (the Netflix series) and JURASSIC WORLD DOMINION. Now she's starring in the horror film IMAGINARY, which just landed on VOD after being in theaters earlier this year. But if you didn't realize that was the same DeWanda in all of those projects, you're not alon...
Justin Kuritzkes on 'Moneyball'

With CHALLENGERS, screenwriter Justin Kuritzkes tapped into what he really wanted to know about his favorite athletes: what are they REALLY playing for? Beyond the game? That's a glimpse we get into Brad Pitt's Billy Beane in the 2011 film MONEYBALL. What's more, we see Beane trying to do something anyone who's tried to get a movie or a play off the ground knows well: hustling to make magic wit...

    Is Porsha actively gathering information, interviewing people involved in the story, piecing together the story, or producing news in any format? Or is she just reporting information aggregated for her by people working behind the scenes of her show? I personally do not consider her to be a journalist, she is a media personality.

    This is why I think there never should have been pride parades or celebrations People forget about the Stonewall riots. 28 Jun 1969 - 3 Jul 1969 June and July should be a memorial. Instead of parades, there should be protests. because this isn't over. the pendulum swings. We still need to fight. We need to use this time to remember those people who fought and died to fight discrimination and persecution. Use this time to fight current discrimination and persecution
