  • 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.

Inde Navarrette - 'Obsession' [LIVE]
Q: Actors are usually taught to focus intensely on what their character wants and why they want it. But Nikki's central desire isn't actually hers. So my question is, how did that affect the way you crafted the performance?
Navarrette says the imposed wish still becomes real for Nikki. She focused on Nikki's confusion and experience rather than playing the situation as false, letting go of assumptions about what the character was supposed to be.
Inde Navarrette - 'Obsession' [LIVE]
Q: Did you guys ever discuss why this story was told now?
Navarrette says films reflect the human experiences of their time and that the conversations prompted by Obsession matter. She wants people who identify with either Nikki or Bear to understand why, rather than isolate or condemn one another.
Penélope Cruz - 'La Bola Negra,' 'Bunker' & 'The Invite' [LIVE]
Q: How did your early film choices shape the path you took to international prominence?
She explains that early roles with Almodóvar and strategic language choices opened doors, and that her agent Katrina Ballonas guided her toward saying no to risky projects, which helped her craft a distinctive, diverse career.
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.
