Executive producer Jeffrey Toobin and executive producer and director Brian McGinn discuss their new Netflix docu-series “Trial By Media.”
On today's podcast we have the first part of a two-part interview with Crime Story contributors and producers and writers of the podcast series The Truth about True Crime, Amanda Knox and Christopher Robinson. I met Amanda and Chris through Brian McGinn, one of the producer-directors of the Amanda Knox documentary that premiered on Netflix. I was very much interested in Amanda‘s perspective on the criminal justice system as an exoneree, a journalist and a public speaker. In part one of the interview, Amanda and Chris talk about the early influences on their perceptions of storytelling and on their respective world views. We discuss Amanda‘s experience of the creation of the Netflix documentary, how she and Chris met during the final stages of the making of that film, her experience of watching that film and of how people responded to her after viewing the film.
Today's podcast is part twp of a two-part interview with Brian McGinn, Executive Producer and Director of the Netflix series Chef's Table and, our primary our primary focus in today's conversation, the feature documentary Amanda Knox. The conversation was recorded as part of a series of classes that I taught at The University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts. Each week I would host an artist for a discussion that would help us better understand the values and aims of storytellers in the world of crime and justice. I connected with Brian through my USC colleague, filmmaker Ted Braun who joins me in interviewing McGinn on the podcast. I found Brian's perspective on filmmaking in general and the Knox story in particular, refreshingly down to earth and unpretentious. The Knox film is especially insightful, as the New York Times put it, about “how we judge attractive young women who dare to stray from what we consider appropriate social behavior.”

Director Brian McGinn sits down with David Altrogge to discuss his journey from filming pee wee soccer games to executive producing "Chef's Table."
In their new Netflix show Street Food, co-creators and executive producers David Gelb and Brian McGinn showcase the most democratic of culinary businesses--the food stands, pushcarts and hawker stalls that feed everyday people. Using the same dazzling cinematography, revealing biographical storytelling and passport-busting globetrotting that made their groundbreaking series Chef’s Table famous, the duo discover that these eateries are deeply imbued with passion and traditions that make such locales as Delhi, Bangkok, Osaka and Ho Chi Minh City incredibly special.

We continue our move into the ‘Western' arena with another modern (ish!) classic of the Martial Arts genre: THE KARATE KID. After contrasting reviews (and a confession from Sam…) we look at the film in terms of its surprising comment on class tensions in the US, the ‘finding a family' narrative of the film, and the way in which this episode of the podcast is actually about two entirely different movies. Next Time (yes, it has taken me 7 episodes to work out that this title needed changing…) Our Martial Arts odyssey continues with a film that goes by two names: DRUNKEN MASTER II, or LEGEND OF THE DRUNKEN MASTER. Recent Media (see above comment…) BIRD BOX (2018): Susanne Bier, Josh Malerman, Sandra Bullock CHEF'S TABLE (2015—): David Gelb, Brian McGinn, Clay Jeter Recommendations OCEAN'S 11 (2001): Steven Soderbergh, George Clooney, Brad Pitt THE WAY, WAY BACK (2013): Nat Faxon, Jim Rash, Toni Collette THE MIGHTY DUCKS (1992): Steven Herek, Emilio Estevez, Joss Ackland MYSTERIOUS SKIN (2004): Gregg Araki, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Brady Corbet Footnotes We start by talking about the existence of this film as something of a pop culture artefact, rather than a conventional film; this article provides an interesting take on the place of film in US pop culture. An unfair comparison, maybe, but Sam would like to make sure everyone's seen this. Should you too want to spend two and a half minutes finding out about this film (and then hating yourself for doing so), go ahead. Here's the obligatory link to more on Rob's favourite dramatist, and his influence in cinema. Finally, here's a useful video on an idea Rob mentions at the very end of the episode.
This week we're revisiting the Netflix Original documentary film, Amanda Knox. Eric Eddings, co-host of Gimlet's The Nod, chats with Amanda Knox director Brian McGinn about the making of the documentary. If you haven't yet seen this film, or aren't familiar with the Amanda Knox story, here's a brief recap. In 2007, Amanda Knox was studying abroad in Italy when she was arrested for the murder of her roommate, Meredith Kercher. She spent almost four years in an Italian prison, while she became a household name across the world. This documentary takes a deeper look into the murder and convictions, the international obsession with the case, and the eventual acquittals, by talking to the people who were directly impacted by it all.
Ep #003 - Amanda Knox With Josh from Footballistically Arsenal and Dave from Fortitude Magazine The Netflix Original Documentary “Amanda Knox” was chosen by Josh Landy of “Footballistically Arsenal”. Josh was a student at Leeds University at the time of the Meredith Kircher murder. This cautionary tale was always in the background for him as this was the university that she attended whilst on a year away in Italy. As a former journalist, it was interesting to hear Josh’s take on the Daily Mail journalist Nick Pisa. He was able to give some insight into the way that Nick was thinking and talking during the documentary, which potentially helped to stave off an absolute mauling from the rest of the Flixwatcher peeps. Did Nick Pisa have to be so “smug” about everything, though? Dave Hudson of “Fortitude Magazine” was not best pleased about Nick “Piece of Something” Pisa. The episode #003 crew were generally favourable towards the Amanda Knox documentary, both in terms of the way it was shot and the insight into the story that it gave. It was interesting in particular to see the how big a feature of the film that Amanda Knox was herself and we talk about that in detail in this episode. The documentary shows the details leading up to the day of the murder and the aftermath following the bumbling Italian police as they do everything in their poorly equipped hands to pin the crime directly on Amanda and her boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito. It was great to see the amount of behind the scenes information detail in spite of the fact we were following the bumbling cops. This, of course, had some parallels with the true crime instant classic documentary series “Making A Murderer” which came out just under a year ago, including scenes of unconvincing DNA evidence. Scores The overall Flixwatcher Rating for this-this Amanda Knox is a decent 3.6. We all would love to see Netflix produce more documentaries like this. Amanda Knox only really let itself down with the “Repeat Viewing" score, which I think that’s actually pretty fair. What do you guys think? Have you seen Amanda Knox? What did you think?
