  • Not enough women

    I’ve been listening for several years- where are the interviews with women? I think it’s time to say bye bye

  • Interesting guests with an annoying host

    Sure, sure, the guests are acting icons and I’m interested in what they have to say but I find the host, Scott, more often than not annoying. First, the voice. Ugghhh! Second, he does this “mhmm.. mhmm… hmmmm” back to people like Gary Oldman or Robert DeNiro which is rather disrespectful and unprofessional. Third, what kind of a professional interviewer says constantly things like “I guess, kind of…, sort of, ummm, maybe, I think “ there are no standards in America anymore for anything.

  • Excellent

    I’m not a Hollywood follower but enjoy this podcast so much. Scott Feinburg is an excellent interviewer. He clearly does his homework and asks great questions. I learn a lot and it makes me feel more connected to the human behind the character. I highly recommend!

  • Do not give Alec Baldwin a platform

    Boohoo, am I supposed to feel bad for Alec Baldwin? He wants to retire? I bet the woman he shot and killed wants to have such problems. Why are we giving him a platform? He needs to take his fake Spanish wife and disappear. They should take the 7 brats with them. This is a topic I can't imagine anyone being interested in.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rhea Seehorn - 'Pluribus' [LIVE]
Q: Hi Avery. Hi. What kept you motivated during times when acting work was scarce?
I stayed motivated by making my own work and creating opportunities, such as a backyard production that she released on YouTube, which kept her engaged with the craft even when traditional work was scarce.
Patrick Ball - 'The Pitt'
Q: Can you share where you were born and raised and what your folks did for a living?
Ball describes growing up in Summerfield, North Carolina, with a mother who was an ER nurse and a father who was a paramedic, framing his early exposure to healthcare and service as a seed for his later work on The Pitt.
Hiro Murai - 'Widow's Bay'
Q: Why did you choose to move from music videos toward television, and what was your approach to GW Widow's Bay?
He describes developing a language with a slippery, surreal tone and focusing on emotional and practical logic; for Widow's Bay, he and Katie Dippold aimed for a dense, lived-in world where comedy and horror coexist and the tone remains grounded and eccentric.
Robert Richardson - 'Robert Richardson: The White Devil' [LIVE]
Q: How do you decide what projects to take on and what you don't want to do?
Richardson describes balance of passion and obligation, citing personal stakes (family, health, and relationships) and the need for strong scripts and directors who have confidence in him. He emphasizes intuition and loyalty to core collaborators, while recognizing the role of opportunities presented by filmmakers who have no fear or who push creative boundaries.
Jason Bateman - 'Black Rabbit' & 'DTF St. Louis' [LIVE]
Q: Can you break down how you approached directing while acting on Ozark and why that dual role felt essential to you?
He explains the practicalities of watching performances while in front of the camera, the advantage of being able to give direction in real time, and how this arrangement helps him maintain momentum and coherence across scenes.
