Maestro (2023) with Barry Levitt (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We’re thinking of a number… No, you have to think… It’s five, darling. Five. Hmm? That’s the amount of times the great Barry Levitt has guested on this podcast. And the film to mark the occasion? Why, it’s MAESTRO, of course — Bradley Cooper’s 2023 biopic on composer/conductor extraordinaire Leonard Bernstein! Together we talk through the film’s journey on its way to Cooper, trot out some impressions of varying quality, defend the good (i.e. non-Josh Gad) kind of theatre kids, defend bold and im
The Fabelmans (2022) with Nick Mear (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s time to wind the clock right back to the very beginning and delve into the humble origins of one Mr. Steven Spielberg, with his 2022 semi-autobiographical drama THE FABELMANS. Helping us phone home is the legendary Nick Mear from Nickflix podcast, and together we discuss divorce, a formative love for/obsession with movies, the emotional clarity brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic and the correct placement of the horizon within the frame. A spirited discussion about a really quite miraculous

Things are fixed for the Ramblin Rumble diving into Steven Spielberg’s 2021 adaptation of WEST SIDE STORY, exploring the show’s origins, its past iterations and the astonishing staying power of its musical numbers.

Finch (2021) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After an almost two-year hiatus (can’t quite remember why now), Amblin returns with the first film released after we started this podcast: Miguel Sapochnik’s 2021 streaming title FINCH. It was a strange decision for this production house to acquire the character rights to the Slough-based sales rep played by Ralph Ineson in ‘The Office’, but– Oh, hang on, wrong Finch. This one is played by Tom Hanks and is attempting to navigate the post-apocalyptic US so that his robot pal Jeff (Caleb Landry-Jo
