Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Born in Flames Director Lizzie Borden
Q: Is that correct in making the film?
Yes, in the art world, there was a group called Art Language, and they were studying a lot of Marxist texts, which led to discussions about the woman problem.
Born in Flames Director Lizzie Borden
Q: What was it that made that important to you?
It was coming out of the art world, which was so white and middle-class. I was really radicalized by feminism, and it seemed very white and middle-class as well.
Cesar Romero: The Joker Is Wild Author Samuel Garza Bernstein
Q: What do you think people must see to understand Cesar Romero?
Watch movies like Deep Waters and The Devil is a Woman to see his range and humanity in roles.
Cesar Romero: The Joker Is Wild Author Samuel Garza Bernstein
Q: What made you decide to go into biography?
I realized nobody had ever written about Cesar Romero, and I found his life to be fascinating.
Talking Melodrama with Millie De Chirico
Q: What made you start using the word melodrama?
The term was internalized from watching soap operas with my mother, where it was often used pejoratively, prompting my interest in the broader implications of melodrama in film.
