Director Jason Reitman discusses his new film, Saturday Night, with fellow Director Guillermo del Toro in a Q&A at the DGA theater in Los Angeles. In the conversation, he discusses originally conceptualizing the film as a one-take to play out in real time, recording the score live on set with the film's Actor and Composer Jon Batiste, and casting his Actors for how well they understood their characters' deeper interests over their recreations of sketch work. Seen through the eyes of a young Lorne Michaels as he juggles equipment failures, actor fights and producers pushing for reruns, the film follows Lorne and his troupe of trailblazers behind the scenes leading up to the landmark show's first airing.

Director Jason Reitman and cast, including Gabriel Labelle, Rachel Sennott, and Dylan O'Brien, discuss Saturday Night, a film that captures the behind-the-scenes energy of SNL, and the impact the long-running sketch show had on American culture when it arrived on TV screens in the 1970s. Shari Sebbens stars in The Moogai, where she plays a young mother who becomes increasingly unstable due to a malevolent spirit she believes is trying to take her children. Ahead of the screenings at the Adelaide Film Festival, director Sarra Tsorakidis discusses Ink Wash, a film that follows a painter grappling with a break-up as she approaches her 40th birthday.Presenter, Jason Di RossoProducer, Sarah CorbettSound engineer, Tegan NichollsExecutive producer, Rhiannon Brown

At the premier of Saturday Night at The Toronto International Film Festival, Director Jason Reitman made a special point of telling the audience that the sound team "put in a lot of work into making it feel like they didn't do any work at all". This is not the kind of film that you would think would have tricky sound obstacles, but that was not the case at all. Supervising Sound Editors Will Files, Lee Gilmore and David Butler, join production sound mixer Steven Morrow and music editor Chris Newlin to talk about the challenges they faced on this film. Don't miss part 2 of our coverage coming out next, featuring Jon Batiste about how the score was recorded on set during production?!

What did it take to pull off a movie about the wild 90 minutes leading up to the series debut of SNL? Saturday Night director Jason Reitman and star Gabriel LaBelle join Awardist host Gerrad Hall to discuss the making of that film — and LaBelle reveals whether it was more intimidating to play a version of Steven Spielberg in a movie directed by the legend, or playing SNL mastermind Lorne Michaels. Plus, EW Sr. Writer Maureen Lee Lenker shares her favorite movies and performances from the Telluride and Toronto film festivals, and the performance from earlier this year that she thinks should get a nomination.

 Ever wonder what it was like to be in Studio 8H opening night in 1975 on Saturday Night Live?Director Jason Reitman wondered and his new movie, "Saturday Night," is a recreation of the hours leading up to airtime on that historic night. Somebody who was there, however, is my guest this week on brioux.tv the podcast: Lorraine Santoli.No, she was never one of the "Not Ready from Prime Time Players." Lorraine, who worked at NBC, was on the floor, pulling cables for the camera operators during the broadcast. Lorraine went on to a spectacular career in entertainment. When we met 40 years ago in California, she was the main Disneyland publicist. Thanks to Lorraine, I had a backstage pass to a time when it was still possible to interview Roy Disney, animators Ward Kimball, Ken Anderson and Bill Justice and voice artists such as Jimmy Macdonald.Meanwhile, Lorraine became close friends with original Mouseketeers Annette Funicello and Bobby Burgess, among others. She later climbed the corporate ladder and became Head of Corporate Synergy at Disney, managing up to 60 companies during the Michael Eisney era.And wait till you hear her story about Pam Grier! Spend an hour with my friend Lorraine Santoli, this week at brioux.tv: the podcast. 

Director Alexander Payne discusses his new film, The Holdovers, with fellow Director Jason Reitman in a Q&A at the DGA theater in Los Angeles. In the conversation, he discusses where the inspiration for the story originated, his favorite aspects of each of the three lead actors' performances, and the filmic inspirations that contributed to the tone of the story. The film tells the story of Paul, a cranky history teacher at a boarding school in the 1960s, forced to chaperone a handful of students with nowhere to go over Christmas break. There, he forms an unlikely bond with a troubled student and the school's head cook, who lost her son in the Vietnam War.

Charlize Theron might very well have outdone her remarkable performance in Monster with her take on a narcissistic ghost writer of Young Adult books in this pitch-black comedy. Director Jason Reitman and writer Diablo Cody reteamed 4 years after the Oscar-winning Juno to give us one of the great navel-gazers in modern film history. Their flick didn’t find much of an audience 10 years ago, perhaps because of the surprising ending that we both loved. Or maybe Joe Average Moviegoer found Patrick Wilson’s character to be as confusing as we did and maybe they also thought his typically bland performance wasn’t enough to offset great work by the polar-opposite Patton Oswalt. Anyway, don’t be a dismissive bully. Just flop face-first on the bed after you’ve had a KFC binge (and feed your dog!) as we tell personal stories and rave about Young Adult in the 391st Ellises’ Analysis.
