Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tár (2022)
Q: What was your relationship with Cate Blanchett before Tár?
Cate Blanchett has always been seen as a powerful presence on screen, known for roles like Galadriel in The Lord of the Rings, but her performance in Tár was a revelation, showcasing a complex mix of vulnerability and authority.
Skeletons, Strike Last, and Ex-Degenerate (Cobra Kai)
Q: Is there any way that this franchise or this Cobra Kai series, specifically, has influenced your style or your interests or your values?
We don't want to be the stick in the mud LaRusso or the giant man child that was Johnny Lawrence in season one. We want to grow up and find that middle ground.
Skeletons, Strike Last, and Ex-Degenerate (Cobra Kai)
Q: So, Jeff, tell me, what's an early or important memory you have connected to the Karate Kid franchise?
For me, it was growing up with my grandparents, watching this kind of as a family. And just great memories from childhood.
Wild America (1997)
Q: Would you show this movie to a child you care about?
Yes, both Randy and Tyler believe it has valuable lessons for kids and would share it with the younger generation.
Equilibrium (2002)
Q: Did this feel like a Batman audition to you?
Absolutely, especially in scenes where he's jacked and emotional at the same time. It reflects the evolving action star who can convey deep inner conflict while still being a badass.
