  • Great contribution.

    I love that magic moment in Jason’s interviews when it seems to dawn on the person being interviewed that ‘this guy actually knows what he’s talking about and wants to have an intelligent discussion!’ Great contribution to screen culture in Australia.

  • Excellent interviews but would love more reviews

    The filmmakers obviously love his passion and intelligence, so the interviews with Jason are great. But I’m actually more interested in film reviews, so tend not to listen as regularly as I could.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Dog Stars: Ridley Scott, Josh Brolin + the Future of Film at MIFF
Q: How did working with non-professional actors shape the film's performance and realism?
The participants discuss creating a safe, authentic space, using improvisation within a solid script framework, and leveraging long takes and zooms to capture naturalistic performances from real people.
The Dog Stars: Ridley Scott, Josh Brolin + the Future of Film at MIFF
Q: What about the source material inspired you to tell this story in a way that feels new to audiences?
Scott explains the adaptation respects the book while prioritizing the emotional and social dynamics over bombast, and emphasizes a humane focus that avoids conventional post-apocalyptic traps.
Will Gluck's rom-com One Night Only + Hlynur Pálmason's The Love That Remains
Q: What was it like shooting in New York and balancing the time constraint with the romance?
The director wanted the authenticity of New York's energy and used the clock as the engine for the romance, allowing characters to explore other connections but ultimately gravitate toward each other as time runs out.
Will Gluck's rom-com One Night Only + Hlynur Pálmason's The Love That Remains
Q: Tell me about casting both of them.
Monica Barbaro and Callum Turner were cast after a collaborative process where Gluck spent significant time with them, then reshaped the characters to fit their strengths, even communicating through Zoom when needed.
James J. Robinson's First Light + diet horror Saccharine
Q: Hannah, please tell me you aren't actually taking those diet pills. Whatever shortcut you think you found, it is a bad path. You look sick.
James explains that Saccharine is personal and rooted in examining inherited beliefs around body image, and that the film aims to present a nuanced portrayal of Hannah's journey rather than sensationalize dieting, while also acknowledging cultural contexts and the author's own relationship to the material.
