Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

"Cameraperson" (2016) with Chase Hutchinson
Q: What are your thoughts on how she interacts with her interview subjects?
Hutchinson says Johnson approaches subjects with compassion and treats them as people, while acknowledging the difficult ethical tension of taking and sharing their stories.
"Cameraperson" (2016) with Chase Hutchinson
Q: How do you frame what is kind of happening in the course of the documentary?
Hutchinson sees the film as an associative memoir rather than a collage, with deliberate edits and juxtapositions linking memories and documentary footage.
"My Octopus Teacher" (2020) with Shannon Cay
Q: What are your thoughts on the sequence of events, particularly Craig being very interested in intervening?
Cay compares the moment to a journalistic ethics dilemma: journalists are generally expected to document rather than directly intervene. She says her perspective has shifted with age and parenthood, and that ethical standards may need to be reconsidered when they conflict with basic humanity.
"My Octopus Teacher" (2020) with Shannon Cay
Q: What are your thoughts on Craig's introduction and his motivations to go diving and swimming in the ocean?
Cay sees Foster as someone who appears to lead a charmed life but is also dealing with depression. She views his immersion in the ocean and focus on the octopus as a new obsession after reaching a breaking point in his work.
"The Savages" (2007) with Will Ashton
Q: What is your favorite 2026 film from a female or non-binary filmmaker?
He cites Teenage Sex and Death and Cam Asma, along with Nia DaCosta's 28 Days Later sequel The Bone Temple and the documentary American Doctor, noting a trend toward bold, diverse storytelling.
