4.4 out of 5 stars from 70 ratings
  • 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.

Rose of Nevada with Mark Jenkin and George MacKay | Picturehouse
Q: Parting words for why people should see Rose of Nevada in a cinema.
The hosts emphasize the unique communal experience of watching in a theatre, the immersive sound design, and the idea that the film invites personal interpretation, making the cinema experience essential for a full understanding and emotional impact.
Mother Mary with David Lowery | Picturehouse
Q: How did the concert and behind-the-scenes sequences influence the final cut?
We moved away from a straightforward documentary approach and found a more subjective, cinematic way to represent the tours and backstage moments, a solution that was born out of the editing process and necessary due to the film's evolving structure.
Mother Mary with David Lowery | Picturehouse
Q: When did you start talking about the music for Mother Mary?
We began discussing the music very early, even before actors were on board, and lined up a group of musicians to shape a murderer's row of songs that would guide the film's tone and narrative.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 with David Frankel | Picturehouse
Q: What elements did you feel were essential to preserve from the first film, such as the score or visual motifs, and what did you want to update for a new generation?
There are updates but also deliberate ties to the first film, like a similar musical language that makes the films feel like a matched set, while introducing new themes as the plot moves into new locations and a more modern context.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 with David Frankel | Picturehouse
Q: You said you wouldn't do a sequel unless there was a spark. Can you remember how that spark Genesis conversation went with Aline and other collaborators?
The team recalled that initial conversations started with finding a strong reason to return to the world, and when Meryl showed openness to a good script and idea, it felt right to revisit the story and explore how a legacy film could stay relevant while honoring the original.
