Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Coppola, Lucas, and Spielberg shaped Hollywood
Q: What drew you to focus on Coppola, Lucas, and Spielberg as a trio, and how do their paths intersect?
Paul Fischer explains that the trio embodied a new form of creative agency in Hollywood, where personal vision, technical skill, and a willingness to gamble financially converged to redefine how films were made and distributed.
Rob Reiner on the legacy of ‘Spinal Tap’
Q: What do you remember about your first day of shooting This is Spinal Tap?
The team improvised, there was no strict script, and the day felt like a rehearsal in a documentary world, which set the tone for the film's experimental approach.
David Oyelowo on the dark reality of solitary confinement in ‘Newborn’
Q: Why is the solitary confinement element in Chris Newborn so central to the story?
Because it embodies the ultimate test of humanity, showing how long-term dehumanization challenges a person's ability to reconnect with love, family, and self, and it reframes the audience's understanding of justice and rehabilitation.
David Oyelowo on the dark reality of solitary confinement in ‘Newborn’
Q: Where do these perspectives come from in you as an actor and as a person?
From a deep interest in characters who are tested by institutions and from personal experiences with loss and resilience, which informs the choices I make in roles like Chris Newborn and the broader themes I explore in storytelling.
Director Joseph Kosinski on the sound of ‘F1’
Q: What kinds of influences shaped your sound palette, Kosinski?
Influences range from 80s electronic pioneers and synth-driven scores to modern electronic textures, with an emphasis on blurring lines between sound design and music to provoke emotion.
