  • Favorite podcast of the year

    Nothing but 10s across this board for this podcast. I always love the serotonin rush I get when I see a new episode update about one of my fav films…can NEVER get enough Nancy Meyers content (would love an It’s Complicated ep even if it’s with one of the producers, etc). Also making an Oscar season plug for Babygirl content. Love you both!!

  • Can’t deal anymore with the host’s affirmations

    “Yeah yeah uh huh yup sure yes yeah yeah.” Such a missed opportunity. The host is clearly connected, getting impressive guests. But her interview style is just so annoying. I tried. Eternal Sunshine is my favorite movie of all time. Couldn’t get through half the episode. Unsubscribe.

  • Quirks of Interview Style Turned Me Away

    “Yeah. Right. Right. Sure. Yeah. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. No way. Right. Uh huh. Yeah. No way. Yeah. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. Sure. Yeah. Ok. Ok.”

    Vocal affirmations have their place in pushing a conversation along, to be sure. But the way they’re incorporated here by the host is beyond distracting.

    I tuned in excited to hear more about my favorite film of all time, but couldn’t make it more than a few minutes.

  • The host says “yeah” a lot

    I’m glad this podcast exists. It has a lot of value and I love learning different aspects of the filmmaking process. Having said that, though, as I listen to the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind episode (July 17, 2024), I’m bowled over at how many times the host Daniela said “yeah.” It really detracted from the episode. I hope it’s something she’ll work on reducing in future episodes; it was very distracting to hear “yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, etc” while the guest wa... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

MONEYBALL: Brad Pitt's Billy Beane and the Team That Rewrote Baseball
Q: Rachael, can I just like stop and pause for a second? Because as a producer, that is so stressful. What was your emotional state in that moment?
It was utterly devastating and confusing; I did everything I could to save the film while feeling some decisions were beyond my control.
MONEYBALL: Brad Pitt's Billy Beane and the Team That Rewrote Baseball
Q: What did that look like? Like, talk to me. Were you guys meeting in coffee shops or in your living room?
We coordinated our meetings across New York and LA via phone and in-person, outlining Moneyball extensively during those sessions.
MONEYBALL: Brad Pitt's Billy Beane and the Team That Rewrote Baseball
Q: Tell me why. I'm just curious, what were you chafing against?
The industry had become overwhelmingly about business rather than creativity, and that perspective made me unhappy.
BACK TO THE FUTURE: Marty McFly, Robert Zemeckis, and Time Travel Magic
Q: Why do you think this movie has impacted people the way it has for as long as it has?
Gale believes that everyone thinks about the 'what ifs' in life, such as what if their parents didn't meet, which is a universal element that resonates with audiences.
THE FIRST MONDAY IN MAY: The Genius of Anna Wintour and Creating the Legendary Met Gala
Q: What do you remember most about the filming process?
The crew had to work around the intricate planning of the gala, filming months in advance and capturing candid moments while maintaining a low profile.
