  • Sound mix Is terrible

    Decent podcast, but it’s very difficult to hear what the host and guests are saying. It sounds like each are on different mikes and at different volumes. Impossible to hear the dialogue unless in a very quiet room.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Blue Heron with Sophy Romvari | Picturehouse
Q: How did you know that Sasha would be your performer for that crucial early sequence with the social workers?
Romvari explains that Amy Zimmer's intelligence, improv background, and willingness to tackle ambiguity helped shape the scene, and the collaboration grew into a deeply trust-based performance where Zimmer embodied Sasha rather than trying to imitate Romvari.
Virginia Woolf's Night and Day with Haley Bennet and Jack Whitehall | Picturehouse
Q: What was it from the script that made you both want to be involved?
They were drawn to Justine's updates that modernize the narrative while preserving its core questions about ambition, love, and female agency, finding the material both timely and emotionally resonant.
Tuner with Leo Woodall and Daniel Roher | Picturehouse
Q: What's on the watch list when you get time? What's the next thing you have to get in and see?
Roher discusses his preference for cinema and his ongoing watch list, mentioning recent experiences at Telluride and other fest selections, with a focus on impactful, boundary-pushing work like One Cut of the Dead and Parasite-era cinema; he emphasizes wanting to see as much as possible while balancing family life.
Backrooms with Chiwetel Ejiofor | Picturehouse
Q: Did the analogue 1990s setting help ground the horror and shape your performance?
He explains the tension between the 1990s analogue environment and contemporary concepts, describing how the physical space and era influence the psychological and emotional tones of the character and story.
Backrooms with Chiwetel Ejiofor | Picturehouse
Q: What was it like arriving on set and being confronted with a very real, very tactile version of the Backrooms?
