  • A Movie Lover’s Dream!

    This podcast is so much fun and does a great job of going beyond a more traditional interview format with its guests. I love the focus being on the films and movie going experiences that shaped the artist. You get insight you wouldn’t get anywhere else and really solid recommendations. I also love playing along and choosing my own festival picks at home!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

GRIFFIN NEWMAN’S Life at the Movies (“Blank Check,” RESIDENT EVIL)

GRIFFIN NEWMAN’S Life at the Movies (“Blank Check,” RESIDENT EVIL)
Q: As an actor, do you remember the first film you saw that was like, oh, this is a career. This is what people do?
Newman says The Muppet Show helped him understand performers, while The Muppet Movie showed the struggle involved in making a living as an entertainer.
LANCE OPPENHEIM’S Life at the Movies (PRIMETIME, YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING)
Q: Can you talk about working with some of these actors in there and what's the difference in how you highlight them?
He contrasts documentary work, where he spends extended time with subjects and waits for events to unfold, with scripted filmmaking, where he sought actors eager to participate and encouraged improvisation, personal detail, and spontaneous performances.
LANCE OPPENHEIM’S Life at the Movies (PRIMETIME, YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING)
Q: What is your movie theater ritual? When you go to a movie theater, where do you sit? What do you do? What do you snack on?
Oppenheim usually buys Sour Patch Kids, sometimes gets a Diet Coke or water, and prefers sitting in the third or fourth row so he feels inside the image.
BASSAM TARIQ’S Life at the Movies (YOUR MOTHER YOUR MOTHER YOUR MOTHER)
Q: What is the philosophy behind your festival board choices?
The board mixes deeply challenging works with crowd-pleasing films to create a dialogue between awe, contemplation, and accessibility, encouraging the audience to think and feel together.
