Amanda and Wade talk about how amazingly talented and charming Jenny Slate is in general and particularly in this movie, and the joys of dancing around in one's underwear. They also dig deep on how important it is to be a good friend without injecting your own biases as well as demystifying certain topics so that they can be approached with empathy and understanding.

We continue our series going through the entire catalog of A24's films. On this episode we are looking at 2014's Obvious Child directed by Gillian Robespierre. The film stars Jenny Slate as an aspiring stand up comedian who gets dumped and in her grief has a one night stand that ends up with her getting pregnant while the rest of her life is collapsing around her. Joining the show is Stephanie Prior, CZP's fantastic graphic designer, who was last heard on episode 188: 2022 Oscar Predictions. Our double bill pairings include Never Rarely Sometimes Always (Dakota's pick) and How To Be Single (Stephanie's pick). If you haven't heard our deep dive into the origins of A24, listen to episode 108: A History of A24 Films and our last episode in this series 194: A24 Retrospective - Under the Skin. Don't listen to the blasphemous podcast Classic Movies Live and their episode Best Animated Films by Genre, a response to CZP's episode 199: Best Films by Genre. Rachel Ho decided to betray Dakota's trust by appearing on the show.

This week the A24 On The Rocks podcast takes on the 2014 A24 film Obvious Child starring Jenny Slate, while being written and directed by Gillian Robespierre. We have experimental filmmaker Caitlin Ryan on to discuss this romantic comedy about a standup comedian who decides to get an abortion after having a one night stand.

In her own words"Hi! I'm Suzanne. I'm an actress and filmmaker based in Brooklyn, NY. My first directorial effort, short film Christmas Eve Eve: Or The Things I Can't Remember (which I also wrote and star in) recently played at a number of festivals including the 2021 Mill Valley Film Festival. You can watch it here on the platform Omeleto, one of the best hubs for high-quality short films on the internet. Currently, I'm producing my first feature film Every Man For Himself, directed by Gary Gardner and starring Daniel Sharman and Nicholas Logan, which is now in post production. As an actress you might have seen me in HBO's Silicon Valley as Fiona, an AI robot who infiltrates the Pied Piper gang. Or maybe in the NBC TV show Blindspot, or the films Ricki and the Flash (dir. by Jonathan Demme), and Obvious Child (dir. by Gillian Robespierre). Recently, I starred in the hit web series, I AM YOU, which has nearly a million views and was produced by Rizzle Studios. I was honored with a best actress award for my work on the show by The International Academy of Web Television.A Kentucky native, I received my BA in Theatre from Davidson College in North Carolina. I've spent time studying abroad with the Royal Shakespeare Company and the British American Drama Academy in London. In NYC, I've studied improv comedy and sketch writing with the Upright Citizens Brigade and scene study with renowned actress Maria Dizzia at The Freeman Studio. I'm happy you're here!"

West Duchovny To Co-Star In ‘Vegas High' HBO Max 1990s Drama Pilot West Duchovny is set as a series regular opposite Jordana Spiro and Josh Andrés Rivera in Vegas High, HBO Max's coming-of-age period drama pilot from writer Sarah-Raquel Jimenez, director Gillian Robespierre... The post AoN We Want Zion Ep. 374 The Cultural Hall appeared first on The Cultural Hall Podcast.
In this episode we compare and contrast Alexander Payne's 1996(!) debut, Citizen Ruth (starring the magnetic Laura Dern) with Gillian Robespierre's 2009 debut, Obvious Child (starring our dream BFF, Jenny Slate). Both are about abortion. Who gets it right? Who gets it wrong? Also, we rant about our pregnancy trope pet peeves and discuss how far into a relationship one waits before they fart in front of their paramour. PS: We have since learned that Gillian Robespierre pronounces her first name with a hard G. Our apologies for the (repeated) error.

Jeremy sits down with the filmmakers of Landline - director Gillian Robespierre and actors Jenny Slate and Abby Quinn - to talk about the making of this quirky 90s-set comedy. Hilarious anecdotes and hijinks ensue.
In February we spoke about (shocker) films that fell into the sphere of romance. Often a unfrotuantely derided genre, we wanted to tackle three films that showcase the diversity that can be found in them when directed by diverse talent. We talked about Alice Wu's Saving Face (2004) - a personal favorite- , Gina Prince-Bythewood's Beyond the Lights (2014) and the Jenny Slate breakout Obvious Child (2014) directed by Gillian Robespierre. What linked the three was the ability all demonstrated in building relationships for all of these characters outside of their romantic ones. For March we're doing something a little different and discussing films edited by women-specifically we're watching Faults and Mad Max: Fury Road but we'll also be talking about directors Joss Whedon, Jeff Nichols and Martin Scorsese who have all primarily relied on female talent in editing their films. We will also take a look and Before I Fall-the big March release for a woman directed film. Watch along with us and make sure to catch the coversation next month! Happy listening :)
Episode 45 of One Week Only! We take a look at the upcoming Sundance and Slamdance Film Festivals, which both take place in Park City, Utah this January. Sundance always debuts some of the biggest indie films of the year, and this year's festival already has buzz around David Lowery's "A Ghost Story" starring Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara, and Gillian Robespierre's "Landline" starring Jenny Slate. Slamdance may be smaller, but it excels in showcasing innovative, unique films, and this year we're looking forward to Bill Watterson's "Dave Made A Maze" and many more. We also recap the Palm Springs International Film Festival, where Carlos was on the Jury for the Cine Latino Award, which was given to Pablo Larraíns's "Neruda," with a special mention for Natalia Almada's "Everything Else." Our interview this week is with Cullen Hoback about his environmental crisis documentary "What Lies Upstream" about a massive chemical spill in West Virginia that contaminated the water for 300,000 people. "What Lies Upstream" will be the Opening Night Film of Slamdance on January 20th. Hosted by Carlos Aguilar & Conor Holt. Music by Kevin MacLeod at www.incompetech.com

Your genial host Norm Wilner is on the same page. #StandWithPP
These are our last two episodes! Bonnie & Maude is ceasing as a podcast for now, but keep up with our future endeavors at bonnieandmaude.com.In Part 2, we interview Gillian Robespierre, director of 2014's Obvious Child, about how the film is so much more than an "abortion rom-com." This interview was recorded at the Bell House on June 3, 2015 as part of Pregnant Pause, a variety show co-produced with The Doula Project that explored representations of pregnancy, choice, and abortion in pop culture.
Shaun and Grace Porter from AudiencesEverywhere.net discuss Gillian Robespierre's debut feature Obvious Child (2014), which takes a new look at modern womanhood and features an absolute star turn from Jenny Slate. Included in this conversation: how Obvious Child stacks up against two other films featuring pregnancies, Juno and Knocked Up; the meaning of "you'd be a great mother;" Donna's stand-up routine; a man's role in deciding whether or not to keep a pregnancy; Shaun's sweatpants.

Josh & Gillian Robespierre (writer/director "Obvious Child") talk writing process, the unfortunate lack of female filmmakers, and what it's like to work with the incredible Jenny Slate. MORE GILLIAN! Twitter: @GillianHardG
This week: [Obvious Child, 2014, Gillian Robespierre] A romantic comedy about abortion?! Those godless New York liberals have done it again. This, friends, is what feminism hath wrought. [Prince Avalanche, 2013, David Gordon Green] Drinking, swearing, casual sex. Is nothing sacred? Certainly not in this outrageous piece of left-wing propaganda starring that serial underminer of American values, Paul Rudd. [Point Break, 1991, Kathryn Bigelow] Bank robbers? Surfers? People named "Keanu"? Lock them up, I say, and throw away the key! But of course the liberal elites behind this vile "entertainment" are too in thrall to Mammon to contemplate ideals of righteous justice.
On today's show, I talk to writer and director Gillian Robespierre. A New York native, Gillian grew up in Stuyvesant Town in Manhattan. Her father made films for many years, and that, as well as a number of other reasons, drew Gillian to become a filmmaker herself. In 2009, she made a short called Obvious Child, which she then expanded into a feature-length film starring Jenny Slate.
