Gamers know the longtime PlayStation racing series Gran Turismo. The story of Jann Mardenborough, who turned a passion for the game into a career racing real cars was brought to theaters this summer in the film "Gran Turismo." But how closely do these films stick to reality? There's a reason why many include a disclaimer at the start that some characters and stories have been changed or dramatized. We talk about the recently completed HBO series "Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty," which has been criticized by some portrayed on the show. The there is the 1989 film "Great Balls of Fire!" starring Dennis Quaid as Jerry Lee Lewis. A lot of people were critical of the film, but co-host Bruce Miller interviewed Lewis and says the singer loved Quaid's performance.. What about movies like "Elvis" and the upcoming film "Priscilla," which both had the involvement of Priscilla Presley? Or the music biopic that largely led to the modern music biopics, Oliver Stone's "The Doors," which was criticized by the surviving members of the band? Even documentaries have been known to stray a little, such as the Oscar-winning "Searching for the Sugar Man" based on the life of Sixto Rodriguez. The film failed to mention the singer had modest success in Australia, so he wasn't a complete unknown.  We take a deep dive into true stories that have been turned into movies and even have an interview with Mardenborough, who was involved with the film. He also talks about his involvement with actor Archie Madekwe, who played Mardenborough. Where to watch "Gran Turismo" in theaters "Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty" on Max Contact us! We want to hear from you! Email questions to podcasts@lee.net and we'll answer your question on a future episode! About the show Streamed & Screened is a podcast about movies and TV hosted by Bruce Miller, a longtime entertainment reporter who is now the editor of the Sioux City Journal in Iowa and Terry Lipshetz, a senior producer for Lee Enterprises based in Madison, Wisconsin. Episode transcript Note: The following transcript was created by Adobe Premiere and may contain misspellings and other inaccuracies as it was generated automatically: Welcome everyone to another episode of Streamed & Screened an entertainment podcast about movies and TV from Lee Enterprises. I'm Terry Lipshetz, a senior producer at Lee and co-host of the program with Bruce Miller, editor of the Sioux City Journal and a longtime entertainment reporter. But first, an important disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are a fusion of professional critiques and passionate fandom. While Bruce's experience and my dedication to the couch may suggest an odd pairing, it's what makes this podcast a delightful mix of the expected and the unexpected. Listener discretion is advised and an important addendum to that. Bruce. No animals were harmed during the recording of this episode. Where did you get that? ChatGPT. Is this the future in the film? It wrote a lot more than that. First of all, we're out of jobs. That's what happens if everything's good, right? Man, I was thinking, you know, we were talking about this episode a week ago, and I said, you know, might be fun to have a disclaimer. And I'm sitting there like, What kind of disclaimer would we have for us? A We can say whatever. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. And not be. Can I tell you, I always I hate this when somebody gets a bad review. And what do critics know? You know, why or who are critics? Well, a critic is somebody who probably watches a lot of what you do and has an idea about what is good and what isn't good. And so listen to them. But I've always said to them, anybody who pays money for something is a critic and is entitled to an opinion. So have at it. Absolutely. And you know what? I think it's like anything else where maybe, you know, you're a critic, you're doing it professionally, but you're still you're still a human being that needs to entertain yourself and something's good or something is bad. I mean, it is what it is. And I think you do need to be a fan to be a critic. Otherwise, if you hated the medium that you were were criticizing, you wouldn't do it, right. So there is that moment. But I you know, there are those who are like, greasy. They're a little over the top with the oh, my God, it's the greatest thing ever. I how many times have you read quotes from some movie ad that says this is the best thing since Gone with the Wind or, you know, and you got really I don't think it was or truth should be this great, You know? I mean, it's like, what are you saying? Right. But those are the things that you find. And they're quotable. Yeah. That they try to a lot of those when you look at reviews that are polled or quoted, those are written to get quoted because the critic who is saying, I can't believe movies have gotten this good wants to get his name in the ad. So then it helps boost his position as a critic and helps get the name out about the publication. So this podcast. Incredible. Four stars. I think the one nice thing though about the modern criticism in in any form, whether it's music or TV or movies or whatever you're following, the Internet has opened up all new avenues, right? Because in in the old days, you know, you might pick up your your Shoe City Journal and you would just have Bruce Miller, the one telling you or if you're in Chicago, you might have Siskel and Ebert or wherever you might be, you just have that local voice. But now you can go to Rotten Tomatoes where it's picking up the aggregate and and, you know, sure, the folks in the industry might not want to hear what a critic has to say, But when you go to like a Rotten tomatoes and you've got 300 critics saying your movie's terrible, yeah, it's probably it's probably stinky. It probably is not good. Well, that's really encouraging, isn't it? Is that. But it goes the other way, too, where if you actually want your critics to love it and it's, you know, certified Fresh by Rotten Tomatoes. Yeah, right. That's great. And then you get the weird ones where, you know, the critics will love it and then the fans dog on it or vice versa. And then you just bang your head on the wall and don't know what to do. The ultimately you are your best critic. Absolutely. Absolutely. Did we offend anybody in the process of that? And did we and or whatever our disclaimer said, I don't know. All I know is no animals have been harmed in the filming of this episode. So we're good. We're good. You know, we're we're going to talk about something that I think is just very fascinating. Do you know how many years in the Academy Awards have not had an actor nominee who is based on an actual person? Well, I'm eight years out of I think it's 90 some 95 years have not. How many? I'm just going it's like three. Eight, eight. Wow. Years. And look at last year we had Elvis. We had Marilyn Monroe. The famous ones could be considered beasts or, you know, sort of. Yeah. So there are those So that's it's a sure way to an Oscar is to play somebody who actually exists. Yeah. And there were the most the most at 12 in 2018. Isn't that unbelievable. It's crazy. We're just grabbing anything. We can throw it up on the screens. It's based in fact, you know, So that's a surprise to me. But it's it is sure content. You will know that there is some story to base it on. We saw now recently with the blindside, where Michael Oher is just kind of like now, this is not this isn't what I remember. So he's trying to speak against this as the ultimate. And it's never, never, ever, ever in the history of filmmaking is a film, an absolutely accurate depiction of what happened. Right. Because it's not a document, right? It's not a documentary. Even that with documentaries, Right. You can't trust them. No. I remember I This tells you how far back we go. Okay. I did a master's thesis on the validity of critics. It's like, do critics make a difference? Is basically the thesis that I did. And we looked back and there was like, this sliver of time when actually critics would have any kind of impact on the audience. And what it was was in those days they were showing what like people were like Eskimos were like. And people had never seen Eskimos. So they believed exactly what they saw on the screen and said that is exactly the way it is, even though it may not have been so. And it was just a very sliver of time that critics could have some kind of impact on what people saw after that don't make a difference at all. People just kind of watch something and. Yeah, and you see that even now with like Netflix where movies that bomb at the box office. But all of a sudden we'll get they'll be trending on Netflix. You'll see like, you know what's that most popular and it'll be some movie from seven years ago that nobody went to see all of a sudden gets hot because it's just people for some whatever reason now algorithm and then it catches fire. Yeah, well look at Green book. Green Book won Best picture the Red critics were, like, kind of lukewarm on it as a as a movie movie. And the people who were related to the man portrayed said it isn't his life. This isn't all at all what it was like. Right. But it played well because it kind of touched those heartstrings that we were looking to touch. And so they made do something to you emotionally, but they may not do it realistically. Yeah. And, you know, you talk about these dramatization scenes, but it's even in documentaries, the storytelling can be twisted in a way to help tell a narrative and one that I wanted to bring up because the person that was featured in it just died recently. Sixto Rodriguez, who was a musician out of Detroit, he released two albums and they didn't they didn't do very well commercially, and he got dropped by his label and he kind of fell into obscurity. And he got popular in South Africa during apartheid when when the the country was basically cut off from civilized nation. There is no Internet at the time, so there's no way of researching. And this mythology was built about the sugar man and this documentary, Searching for the Sugar Man. It won an Oscar for best Documentary. But even in that case, it's failed to mention that he had like these small pockets of international fame. It wasn't you know, he never achieved some level of glory and made tons and tons of money. But in the late seventies, early eighties, Rodriguez was actually touring in Australia. And and that was before they discovered, you know, he was alive in South Africa. So even in that case where you have a story, which is it's a documentary, it's interviewing the real person, there's no actors involved. It's supposed to be reality. They kind of fudged with reality a little bit just to tell the story of, you know, here is this person that's completely obscure, even though in Australia they knew exactly who he was because he had been there a few times there. Yeah, it's well, look at the the film that's leading the way this year for best picture. Oppenheimer Right now that looks about as clean as you can get, except for some of those scenes that are kind of done in the mind, if you will. But it's it's the artistry of the director, you know, so you're not getting the story. And we've got other ones coming this year. We we had air which was about right the Michael Jordan selling of Nike Napoleon is coming up. Ferrari is coming up. Priscilla, about Elvis Presley's wife. You know, so there are the and the killers of the flower moon, what you're waiting for, right? Right. Not all these are based, in fact, for some reason. And it's a jumping off point is what it amounts to. Reality becomes a starting point, but not necessarily an end point. Right. And we saw this also in another in a series on HBO that just wrapped this past weekend, you know, winning time. Right. Which looked at the the the rise of the Lakers dynasty in Los Angeles. And a year ago, there was a lot of controversy after season one. Jerry West, who is portrayed in it was very unhappy with his portrayal in the show and you know is basically making him look like this crazed lunatic. And he's not true and he wasn't like it. And and then season two comes along and, you know, of course, they're opening it up with this disclaimer that this is a dramatization. Some of the characters have been changed. And what I found myself doing through the that every single episode that I watched, something would happen. And I was immediately on my phone. Looking, is. It is this part, you know, because one of the things near the end was this lawsuit by, you know, a wife of Dr. Jerry Buss, who's trying to take the team from him. It's like, well, you know, who is this person? And I'm I'm kind of Googling it and person's not really a real person. It's sort of a fictional ization of another person. And so it's those little things like that that they're introducing. But on the flip side, you know, you have Jerry West, who was very unhappy with it, but I read in I think it was in Vulture, they were talking to the to the folks behind the series and they said they showed the episodes to Jeanie Buss, Jerry Buss daughter, who's portrayed in it. And she loved the series and she felt a connection to her father again, who had passed away a number of years ago. So she really enjoyed watching the show because it kind of, you know, rekindled those memories of of kind of growing up in that time. So it's I guess, you know, how you're being portrayed and in what way and and whatnot. But, you know, that that was kind of an interesting one from that perspective. We have this year weird about Weird Al Yankovic, and it's so off the beam. It's not at all what his life was like. He was participating in it. So he, if you will, signed off on it right? Elvis had Priscilla as kind of their guide or through it all, all of this, and it was nominated for best Picture last year. You know, now this year, Priscilla is probably going to be nominated and Priscilla is talking. So she's rewriting the narrative of Elvis Presley just by what she'll allow or what she won't allow in the story. So that's interesting. But there are duds. There are duds that didn't really work. You know, Can you think of movies where you thought, Oh, my God, that's just terrible, that one. That one doesn't cut it. And I think one that people always mention is John Travolta as Gotti. Oh, that was a real stinker. It was so bad. Yeah. Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs. Yeah, not much there. Michael was his John Belushi and Wired. Well, now somebody didn't like Jerry Lee Lewis portrayed by Dennis Quaid in Great Balls of Fire. But I got to tell you, I interviewed Jerry Lee Lewis about this and he loved it. He thought he captured every bit of him. So, you know, it's all perspective. If it's my life, you know, come on, Brad Pitt, I'm telling you that right now. Right. And there's no way that I am remotely in the same ballpark as Brad Pitt, But they get a chance to kind of rewrite their own history by having control over who plays them. Yeah, you have play you would you pick and you know better. You're not going to say, oh, I'm going to take you know, I don't even want to name names, but you're going to pick. So you see, George Clooney is going to play me. Of course. It would probably be Clooney. I you're right. Right? Yeah. Either yeah. These a older. Clooney were there. You know, you mentioned Brad Pitt. He was on day of the last season, the day of portraying himself. But it was it was a fictionalized version of himself. And that was so good, right? So he was so good because you even felt the kind of like tension that he had in that situation, because I don't want to spoil it, but there's this nutty person in the house or that Brad Pitt is in the house and Dave is in the house, and you've got to be How do we get out of the house? Yeah. There was that scene to where he in it. He says, Well, you can call me and I can't remember what the name was. He's like, Well, that's that's really what my name is. And again, am I Google like, is that really his name? It's like this is he fictionalized that fictional name, which is comical. And it doesn't always work. Like I say, there are situations where you go, Mm, this really laid an egg and I think we'll see it this year or two. We're going to see, yeah, films that just might not make it at all. Last year we had blond, which was about Marilyn Monroe in there. Ana de Armas played her and got an Oscar nomination and she was good, but the movie sucked. It was awful. And I defy you to say that you watched the whole thing. People didn't watch the whole thing. They got to the nude scenes and they shot it off. After that, it was not worth watching because the story didn't make any sense. You know, you have like Freddie Mercury story, Bohemian Rhapsody, right? Liked it because it plays into the the myth that I think has been created. So who? Yeah, well, I got to talk to one of those real people who's featured in Gran Turismo, which is a film about a guy who won the right to become a race car driver by playing video games. There was a competition and they, you know, whatever. And for whatever reason it clicked. Jann Mardenborough is his name and he is portrayed in this film as that naive person getting into the race car business and what it meant. He's still a race car driver. And we got a chance to talk about that whole trajectory and what it was like for him and what he thinks of the guy, Archie Madekwe, who plays him, what he thought of his performance. So we have a tape here. If you'd like to run it. We'll listen to what he has to say about portraying real people on screen. What is it like seeing yourself on a screen? I mean, we're not how many people get this story of their life told in a film? It's like 0.0001% or something? Yeah, it's it's very it's surreal, really. Being honest. It's it's even more surreal with somebody tells people tell me that the racing driver that had movies based on their lives, they no longer around single that they passed away so soon being 31 years old and have your life attractive. Your life. You told of the Big three. An audience is rare and in my industry very rare. So I feel very blessed and honored. That can actually tell. You know what shop in my life. Did you feel a connection to the character or did you see it as somebody else. Noticed me? I yeah, it really does feel like you did you have any did you have any say then in who gets to play you? Did you say, I'm going to look at these people and just see. If it's no secret you was always on the phone by the producers. They kept me in the loop, involved in all the scripts, you know, sets as well. And I was always kept informed of who they like. I see an actor to play me. Apparently the casting will be so long, even a year before Benigni was even shot. Oh, wow, Boss, she was always been number one favorite, as far as I understand, with many different levels of casting processes. But she was the one from day one. And did you like him from day one or did you go or. I don't know. He spoke on Face Time, The lowland scene with a mouth eat it plainly and pseudovirus Because I was in labor at the time that I was like, This looks like straight away. And so that was a great start. We met in person as well. Weeks later, after that phone call, and I it gave you a confidence because I was happy with the script, but meeting the person for the first face, it gave me even more confidence in things like be great, because he was absolutely casting Steely. Obviously he knew from producers as well and all time and face time and texts that meet somebody face to face difference. And he caught it really mean okay, I can focus on being studied rather and make it to focus on the acting and because we're completely allied on this. Yeah in yes he killed it. Did he ask you a lot of questions? Absolutely. And what he. What did what surprised you that he wanted to know? A lot of I'm not repeating his emotional my support is in the while it it's sports you have to be quite clinical but he was asking questions about the relationships I've had with certain people within the industry, my friends, my family. I just kind of try to be open is we all. And it became this very good at asking those questions that was so provoking and as two things which are them? He still dealt with soul so he can work on his craft when he's allowed a chance at this and he can show that and he got on set. How good was he had driving? Well, didn't have a driver's license very recently before shooting. I think for insurance, we'd really have to pass his test. And I didn't know at the time I think it was that a make or break, because if he didn't pass the test, we could have shot with Michelle McCann. But I know everybody at the meeting. But yeah, he was on a fast track course and then I'd passed and he said it interesting. But he said the favorite brand, right? I was always so, so is mine. But there you go. Yeah. He's got good taste, wrong behavior. So yeah, I think if you were bring somebody that have been involved, it looks sort of caused the fault. So it feels very nice. But I have a lot of respect to somebody. Go to another industry and be honest. If I go dancing all through dancin or being a ballerina and let me see myself in that. So I would not risk that in the business. He'd never done this before, yet no interest because now he is a face granturismo which is just racing was and he is he, he nailed it. So yeah, I will respect that. But you know, the movie makes a big deal about can you really make the transition from being a gamer to being a driver. Is it possible? I mean, yeah, was possible with you. But in the grand scheme of things, was your dad really right? And you said, you know, this is going to lead to nothing. These are not going to be career connections for anybody. Well, I will indeed. My stepfather to that question. That was the question we were always asking ourselves, kind of be done proof. But you're one you're one person and, you know, you know, kids sit around and they're doing they're playing games all day and will it lead to something? And that's where dreams and belief comes into it, because they think that easy, everybody be able to do it but makes it easy. All that accomplishment is hard, as if all and it seems like it's not possible. Well, everything is well. I believe that you can do anything. It's a little set. You can't do everything. You can sit and do anything. He's taken line to it. I never let that like the beta racing brother go out. I didn't know how I would get from A to B, but always away very much aware from a young age or very headstrong as a person you would as a kid. That's what I want to do. And I'm not going to take no for that. So I'm not really from other people. That is the gospel of you have spoken in the past with other people about things that I'd said growing up as a teen, where I would say a BMW story, my first car as a child as that when I'm 17 years old and I had my friends because boys, boys, they would rip anything to me for years about that. And I spoke to my other friends, Solid school lives and that scene in the movie, they were a bar and they told me that they could they had a few drinks them. It must not limit the conversation. And they said to me, Look, you never said to us that you wanted to be a racing driver. And I boulevard and I was like, You're right. I never I never told anybody. I never told anybody about drink because you have to protect that. You can't walk around. I don't need you should walk out. I want to do this. I wanted that because people call you out today and also it loses the energy over Did you news that that that that you know that energy. Yeah I believe so I never spoke to anybody about it. It was always my inner drew but I believe you can do anything so anybody watching I learned via high fives in the messages for people about taking an interest in looks, but also telling me I learned to pursue my dream. It would tell me what it is, which I love you shouldn't tell me. You should tell me what it is I want to pursue my dream. You inspired me to see like me. And I love that kids want to move forward too. Why me? Yeah. The rules of life. We have to follow our actions up to this. Well, when it does happen, how do you feel? I mean, is it like. Well, now I've got to find a new dream, or, you know. While in racing, it's that is this thing as the perfect guy. So it's like and it's feel old chase So perfecting your craft and it will never be perfect. So I'm still in the trenches of how can I get better at the race? And rather that's what gives me purpose. Okay, I want to race here, but when I get there, I like to race. I want to wait. I want it to be fast. I want to recent level championships level, the championship races that lie. My drive is the constant. It's a set them and then we have living. It's up and up whether that be right and whether that can being the way out or I stop what right dress or whatever I my business lines it's always a a quality that. All right Bruce thanks for that interview. You know with the race car, movies and biopics, what was your thought on this one compared to like something like a Ford versus Ferrari? Well, this is one that actually had some kind of controversy about the way they messed with time because there's a big accident that's in this film and it has been moved from where it actually happened to a different time because it helps build tension and look at the guy who is it's his story doesn't mind, I guess I can't mind. But I think also because he's an executive producer, so there might be somebody that helped say, I don't mind. Yeah, yeah, No. I enjoy the racing movies. I enjoyed Ford versus Ferrari. I thought that was a really good story to tell. Well, this year, Ferrari, so. Yeah, exactly. Helped Ford in there. Exactly. And so you have to go into every screen biography as it ain't all true. Right? You know, it's interesting, you mentioned a lot of movies based on music, you know, with like Queen and Sugar and you had Elton John. And the one that kind of gets looked at is almost a starting point. I mean, there is there's been a few others along the way, but the one that really kind of propelled, I think the modern film was The Doors from Oliver Stone. And that's one where the three surviving members of The Doors at the time, they hated it. They were and they worked with Oliver Stone for a while on it to try to help, you know, tell the story. And when that thing came out, they were not at all happy with the way. And it hurt it because Val Kilmer should have gotten a best Actor nomination. Yeah, he was that good. And boy, they buried it. Yep. And when you look at later ones, Rami Malick, you know, when you look back on that one, you were going to say, why did he win the Oscar for playing Freddie Mercury? And it all boils down to that little number he did in front of a huge crowd because they played that thing forever before you even saw the film. And that one scene is very good, but the rest of it doesn't really back it up. And I think that's when you look at it, you'll say, you probably shouldn't have got it. You know, it wasn't it wasn't all that. The Whitney Houston one I think is awful and Rocketman is good. But then when it needs to, it'll go into these kind of fantasy sequences so that then you're not really sure what's what's shaking, what's real, what's true, what's not. You know, it's been an interesting series of films and they're not they're sort of interconnected because they're connected by almost like an individual. There's a producer. His name is Mark Girardi. He was a baseball pitcher. He actually pitched professionally. He pitched for a season with the Milwaukee Brewers. I know the story a little bit more because when I was working in New Jersey, he's actually from New Jersey. And my newspaper that I was working for at the time did a story on him when some of his movies were making out. So he finished his baseball career. He went into, I think, modeling and he started making Hollywood connections and then he started telling stories through Disney. And, you know, I'm all, you know, like Miracle about the 1980 Olympic hockey team and the rookie. And I went back and looked at, you know, I was trying to find like, you know, fact versus fiction on those. And I was having a hard time finding very much fictionalized. And I think those in general were pretty well-regarded. I was looking at a story about the Rookie with Jim Morris talking about, you know, the portrayal of him because he was the pitcher who blew out his arm and became a high school baseball coach and then all of a sudden realized he could throw 98 miles per hour again and ended up working his way back into the big leagues. And he said that the film was about 90% accurate to his real life. So it's good to see that there are some films out there, and I think I've really enjoyed those films that that they've done, like Miracle, like The Rookie, because I find them, you know, they're good, they're family friendly, they're not too over-the-top, but they seem to keep fairly close to historical facts. Yeah, it's condensing time, basically. You know, everything doesn't happen within a year. I think they're better off when they do a slice of somebody's life where it's like maybe three months of their life. And that's the movie. I think that would be the interesting kind of situation. Maestro is coming up by Leonard Bernstein. And that should be, I think, a really good one in terms of how well they track a segment of his career. But I, you know, gee, I, I would hate to be the subject of a biopic because I think that you have to kind of then live that that story instead of a real story was, you know, because that's what people think of you. They want to have things condensed and into a, you know, a neat little package that you can see in 2 hours. And we're done with you and you move on. But there there's much more beyond that. And I think when you look at those those seminal moments, maybe that's all it should be. Ken Burns is a great one to do documentaries about famous people, but what he uses are voices, other people talking about that person. So, you know, it's almost like a print news story where you hear others making some kind of assessment. And it's not just necessarily the character saying something. So those I find the most accurate in terms of believing what I'm seeing. But again, it's filtered. History is filtered by those who are telling history. I think the only thing that bothers me, I mean, I always know that there's going to be some creative license, some dramatization to these films, but it just irks me when they make weird changes for the sake of making changes that don't necessarily make sense. Because I remember somebody I've never seen the Buddy Holly story with Gary Busey. Robyn No, I haven't. I just I need to go back and watch it one of these days. But I remember a friend of mine talking about it and saying that you know, he like he liked the film, but he couldn't understand why they didn't have all the crickets. Like Buddy Holly's backing band was The Crickets. And it was like they had like three of the four members in it but not. Get their rights. Right. So it's just like, Why would you make a movie and leave out one of the band members, You know, if there is a reason for it, I guess, you know, somebody would want their story told. But if it was just more because as well, it's it gets a little unruly with four people. So we're going to just narrow it down to three. To me, those are little things that to the average person may not notice. But if you're trying to also appeal to fans of the band or the musician, these are historical pieces. It's like it's like even watching Field of Dreams, where Shoeless Joe Jackson is is batting from the wrong side of the plate. You know, it's it's you know, when you make a left in the batter right handed or vice versa, that kind of thing is like little details like that. When you're when you're a fan, you're kind of going. Like, do a fancy. Fancy get maybe that right. You know, that's that's kind of irritating. You know, now Broadway is jumping on the bandwagon and they're doing all of these musicals about musical people because they're very dramatic. They've got a built in catalog of sounds that always will work because people know them. There's a Neil Diamond one out now. There was Tina Turner, there was Cher. And you're going to see more and more of those Mamma Mia, which was just the songs with a different story. Right? But they're they're easily tapped into bowl. I always say that you can easily tap into them. Right. What I want to say, because you already know something about them, which is the music, and I think that's a shorthand that they don't have to tell other parts of the story because you just assume that's their. Yeah, though, I don't know, it's weird, but if there's a story or a moral or a caution to be added to this, it's a don't believe them. When you see a screen biography, don't believe them. They're very entertaining, but they aren't necessarily the true story. Absolutely. That's a good point to to end this episode. Thank you again, Bruce, for that interview. When Brad Pitt plays me in the movie version of the podcast, you know that it's going to have a different ending. Absolutely. Yep. And again, you know, just want to point out one last time, no animals were harmed in the recording of this podcast yet. We're all yet going to have a cat wander in here in a second. No, no, no. I know. That's all right, everyone. Thank you again. Come back again next week for another episode of Stream. The screen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#184 Gran Turismo, Extraction 2, Galaxy Quest Welcome to the week of high high speed. While the three films share no genres or plot points, they all have some desire for high velocity. We start with Gran Turismo; a true-ish story of a gamer-turned-real-racer, complete with training and traveling the world with rocket-like vehicles. Extraction 2 contains high-octane action. A throwback to 80's and 90's adult action films, this one presents some crazy scenarios, particularly with cars, trains and helicopters. Galaxy Quest travels at light speed across the universe with a clever story to shoulder what is a Star Trek parody but way more meta.   Next Time: Gran Turismo, Extraction 2, Galaxy Quest   Recent Discoveries Luke: Blue Beetle, Get Smart with Money Ralf: Blue Beetle, Heart of Stone, Extraction Oscar: Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum, Beast, Enemy at the Gates, To Catch a Killer   Otherpodcast.com   Show Notes 00:00:00 INTRO 00:19:40 Recent Discoveries 00:46:54 Gran Turismo 01:11:32 spoilers 01:30:18 Extraction 2 01:43:47 spoilers 01:54:31 Galaxy Quest 02:22:08 EXIT

What are you passionate about? For Jim Capobianco, who has a Best Original Screenplay Oscar nomination from 'Ratatouille' to his credit, his new animated film "The Inventor" was a passion project. The film was a passion project as well for composer Alex Mandel, who was able to include his daughter Sequoia on a track in the film. Co-host Bruce Miller shares a story about his own passion projects and then dives into the new animated film about Leonardo da Vinci (not Leonardo DiCaprio), which utilizes both traditional 2-D hand drawn animation as well as brings to life stop motion puppets. Miller has interviews with both Capobianco and Mandel, who discuss why the film was so personal. "The Inventor" opens Sept. 15 in the U.S. and stars Stephen Fry, Marion Cotillard and Daisy Ridley. We also look ahead to next week, when we'll discuss the recent release "Grand Turismo" and have an interview with real-life driver Jann Mardenborough, who was the inspiration for the film. Miller and co-host Terry Lipshetz will discuss other movies that depict real people and how far they stray from reality. Where to watch "The Inventor" in theaters Sept. 15. "Gran Turismo" in theaters now Cast of 'The Inventor' Stephen Fry as Leonardo da Vinci Marion Cotillard as Louise of Savoy Daisy Ridley as Marguerite Matt Berry as Pope Leo X Jim Capobianco as Cardinal of Aragon Max Baumgarten as Il Boccador / King Charles of Spain Ben Stranahan as Page John Gilkey as Gravedigger John / Giuliano Jane Osborn as Gravedigger Jane Angelino Sandri as Francesco Melzi Daniel Swan as King Henry the VIII Contact us!

Episode transcript Note: The following transcript was created by Adobe Premiere and may contain misspellings and other inaccuracies as it was generated automatically: Welcome everyone to another episode of Streamed and Screened an entertainment podcast about movies and TV from Lee Enterprises. I'm Terry Lipshetz, a senior producer at Lee and co-host of the program, shall I say. The inventor of this program, Bruce Miller, editor of the Sioux City Journal and a longtime entertainment reporter. You're here. You're the inventor. You are truly an inventor of this podcast. Yeah. Yeah. Right. And I don't want any credit for it. Okay. It's not it's not in my head. But, you know, that's it's funny how people have passion projects. Do you have a passion project? Is there anything in your mind that you say, This is something I really I want to be known for? I haven't quite gotten there yet. I have things that I'm passionate in about in my lives, but I, I don't have a project per say that I'm sharing with the world. Okay. Okay. I, I have a couple of things in my life, okay? One is I have a movie idea in my mind that I think is going to be perfect. Perfect. But until I retire, he will not write that script because names are used. But the other thing. There was a time when I was in, like, my mid-forties that I thought I was losing my hearing. I really I thought it's it's gone. And I had was tested and they said, yeah, you could lose your hearing. And I thought, as a journalist, I don't want to go through life without something that I could point to that would represent me, that would represent what I could do as a journalist. And it just all came out about at a basketball game. I was sitting next to a friend at a basketball game and she said, You know, these aren't the same. High school just isn't the same anymore. I go to the games and the kids aren't here cheering. The band doesn't support the teams. It's not like we remember when we were kids. And I thought, Well, let's just see what that was all about. And so I decided to do a look back at it. At the time, it was the class of 1977, and I decided to talk to the people who were in the class of 1977. And what was high school like back then? Was it really better? Was this something that we should have, you know, embraced and used as an example? And so I thought, well, this'll be easy because I just go to the school and I ask them for those permanent records that they all seem to have. I went to the high school, and the high school said, We don't have anything like that. I said, You're kidding. My whole life has been built on your permanent record, and I wanted to make sure that my permanent record was was good. She said, Oh, now we throw those out after the kids are gone, we're good. And I said, Well, do you have the graduation list? No, we don't have that either. I said, You don't have the graduation list. You've got to be kidding me. She said there might be a yearbook in the library. Go to the library if you find the yearbook there, you can take it out for a while and get some names out of that. So I went to the library and the yearbook had been cut out of. I kid you not. People cut pictures out of it. So what I learned from this was there is no permanent record of your high school life. But I got enough names. It was a class of about three or 400, and I diligently put together this master list of all of these kids in one led to another, to another, to another, to another. And I ended up with, I think it was more than 160 of the class of 1977 out of 300 or 400. And what I would do at night because I thought I was losing my hearing, is I would sit with a headset on and I would call members of the Class of 1977 and ask them about what was school like, What do you remember? Was it better than. And I built this whole story about what was it really like and how does it compare to now? Because most of them were be poor would have been parents of kids in high school at the same time. And it was a fascinating thing. I was able to relive all of their high school years and find out how it affected people. And there were people who said things like, Well, every time I drive by the school, even now, I feel this deep pit in my stomach. I hated that place. I didn't like the people there. As I learned from all of this research, people that I knew I needed to target. The valedictorian would easily be somebody the student body president was somebody. The star basketball player. Star football player, star baseball player, star wrestler, the homecoming king and queen. I mean, I had all those ones who are like landmarks in a high school class. And I got to all of them. And then I had a group of them who were really close friends get together. And we just talked about high school. And I'll tell you, it was a fascinating thing because I knew these people as old people and they were talking about their youth. And I learned that some people do not moved on beyond high school. High school is the be all the end all. It is the high point of their life. It was, I think, a 12 part series that I wrote. Whatever happened to the class of 1977? And even to this day, I have people who will come to me and say, Are you going to do another class? No, I'm not. The good news is, is that my hearing came back, so I didn't feel like I needed to do anything anymore. But yet I think it represented me at my best. And I look back on it now, and this has been quite a few years since, because I think we hit a milestone and they said, you should go back and revisit them. And I never did, but I was made an official member of the class of 1977, and I have been invited to class reunions. So there is my my chance of being able to do that. But it was a fascinating thing. Well, in the movie business, there are those passion projects. There are things that people live to do and they don't always get the funding for it. You know, you might try something on a lower scale or a smaller scale, and then maybe somebody will say, Let's do it. Let's make that let's make the film out of this. And that's what happened with a film that's coming out this week called The Inventor. It was a passion project of writer director Jim Capobianco, who had done a short subject about Leonardo da Vinci. He called Leonardo in 2009, I believe it was, and he wanted to expand this into something much bigger, make it a much bigger film than it ever was. And so he got that funding, got the people, got everything behind it, and created this animated film that's a hybrid. It's part stop motion animation and it's part 2D or draw on animation. And it's him at his best, at least as he sees it. And it's a way for him to do those stories. And he says, you know, he grew up in the in the Disney what do you call it, the factory. Disney Factory. Sure. He wrote Ratatouille in case you need to have a point of reference. And they always said, you know, do your passion projects, do the things that you most care about and you'll never go wrong because you're doing something that you have an interest in. And he is interested. Interest was in Leonardo da Vinci. He couldn't believe that this guy did all these things. All of this kind of stuff. And yet in the later years of his life, what was it that drove him? What was the thing that kept him going? And so that's kind of the thrust of the inventor is those later years when he was in France and what he did with those things. And I mean, my God, go down the list of the stuff that Leonardo did. Unbelievable. But then he also has to bring in others to share this kind of passion, if you will, and get those people excited about it. And so that's what he did. He had to try and build this thing like he is a Leonardo of an animated feature. This film isn't attached with Disney or one of the other big studios, right? No, no. It's a very much independent film, which is cool to see, especially with an animated film, because animated films aren't necessarily cheap and it's takes a little bit of work to get them done. Well, and the idea that you're doing stop motion and draw an animation. When do you do which and I think I did an interview with him was hopefully a part of it here that you can listen to. But he said that he used the stop motion, which are like, if you remember, a nightmare before Christmas. Tim Burton loves to do this using like little dolls, if you will, all of the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, any of those kinds of films were done stop motion, and you'd move them very slightly. And then when you had men shoot the frame and then you keep going and eventually it looks like the character is moving around. But he did reality or the the real part of it in stop motion. And then the flights of fantasy that he might have as the drawn stuff. So you could see drawings come to life and what they would mean for him. You know, he worked on a flying machine and you could see the flying machine come to life. So it's a fascinating thing. But then he also had to draw others in. And one of the ones he drew in was Alex Mandel, who is a composer who worked with him at Disney on a number of things. But he had a sharper learning curve because he did not know the whole backstory of Leonardo. Let's be honest. Do we all study Leonardo? You want to see a cartoon about Leonardo? You've probably don't, you know. And so he had to take a lot of the information that he was given by Jim and then work from that. The interesting thing is he also realized that he could take a shift and jump out of this and he wouldn't have to have period music. It wouldn't have to sound like it was from Leonardo's time. He could be different with all of this. Well, one of the things he did is he recorded a kind of a test song to see how well this would work when they were pitching it and he needed a singer. And so he said to his daughter, who is a singer, ten years old, record this for me. Her name is Sequoia Mandel. And Sequoia, you know, was and she was in for the money. She thought this was good. This is a good idea. So when they kept kind of adding good, we had the pandemic. We had all these things in there. She recorded another version at 12. She recorded songs at 15. She's throughout this whole thing. And it helped him also understand the people that they were hiring for the parts. She knew more about the actors who were being hired than Dad did, and it helped him realize what kind of their range was for the music. So it's a fascinating kind of story, and I think this is not a movie that kids might just embrace. It's this is not the latest for a frozen, you know what I mean? But yeah, tells another story. It is something that if you're an animation fan and you're older, it's something you will appreciate because you see how these people that we now view as just untouchable geniuses that have no, you know, no relationship to us and how the thought process went for them and what they had to do to put it together. Stephen Sondheim wrote a song for Sunday in the Park with George called Putting It Together. And that's exactly what it is. It's like, what are the little elements that create genius? And that's what you get out of this, this film? Yeah, it sounds like an interesting film, and I agree. It seems like the type of film that it's not necessarily you're going to gather up your five year olds and shuffle off to the theater, but maybe a more mature age children, teenagers and people that can appreciate different types of animation and I love animation. I've always been drawn to things like the Tim Burton stop motion. And even as a teenager, I was really fascinated by Gumby, which, you know, that was the stop motion television program from, I guess, what, the 1960s? Probably hokey claymation. Yeah, Yeah, exactly. So that's always been fun. So I think this is the type of film that would be really interesting to check out and see. I'm trying to think like what kind of music would be of the time of Leonardo DiCaprio. Probably a lot of movie. See your make or allow. Well, the music of Leonardo DiCaprio would be very familiar to Taylor Swift. I think she's in the film. But yeah, with Vinci. Yeah, With Da Vinci, you would think, well, there's probably some lutes and liars and all that kind of stuff. And you didn't write that. Is that what it is? I don't know. But if you can be a little more modern with some of it, it might be a little way of telegraphing what he is thinking or how he is thinking. You know, how do you how do you stay ahead of the curve and not below the curve? Because most of us are B, below the curve, you know, So what do we want to do? First, we want to go to the interview with Jim Cappa Bianco, if you'd like. Yeah, that'd be a great one. And you'll hear him talk about, you know, his creative time and what he learned from all of this. You'll explain the process a little better than I could. But if you will grab a snippet from that. And I think that should should give you a sense of of the film. How do you get obsessed with Leonardo DiCaprio? Leonardo DiCaprio now and I'm totally obsessed with, you know, Da Vinci. What is the deal? I think like a lot of artists, you know, you get to know about Leonardo da Vinci in some form. But then I made the short film. I started researching him for that, and then I just started to see him more as a human being than just a genius. And that kind of aspect of him. I wanted to sort of explore further in the feature. So, you know, that's what kind of drew me to him more, you know, And obviously he's such an interesting character person, you know, with all his interests and everything. So that just, you know, to be and bring him down to a kind of a more human level was really what's always driven me about him. But then don't people say, wait a minute here, people may not want to go to see something like this, you know? Well, I don't know. I guess I don't maybe the people trying you know, we were trying to get money from and to raise funds for a thought that way. But I can I just want you know, I'm just going to try to tell the story I kind of want to tell. So I didn't worry about that too much. I mean, I was always in the back of my mind, Would people really want to see the sort of kids and stuff? So but, you know, as a film, as I developed it that I wanted to see, and that's how we always develop stuff at Pixar and Disney. So it was always like, you know, what's the film that I as a kid inside of me and the adult would want to see in animation. So that's getting out the way you wanted it to, to be. Did it become the vision that you had way back when was beyond my vision? It's just, you know, I think the team we had to get it, we brought together just brought so much magic to the film and I couldn't ask for a better group of artists to work with. And yeah, I don't think I ever, in addition to what we turned out, we created, it's just amazing. So how do you decide what's going to be stop motion animation and what's going to be drawn anime? I mean, to me that was very fascinating to see how it, you know, it would separate and then it would be this would be that. How do you make those decisions? Well, as we did well, as I developed it, I started to see the stop motion as the kind of the reality, real world of the world, and then the drawn animation as sort of Leonardo's flights of fancy, or it was more free because the two techniques stop motion has you are rigid in the sense that you can only animate what you've planned because you have to build an armature and it can only do certain movements and you know it can walk. And it's not like arms if it's going to do some sort of fantastic movement. That animation can do it. You'd have to plan for that. And they are usually built that way. You have gravity, you have a lot of things you have to worry about. But with 2D drawing animation, whatever you can draw, you can pretty much depict. So it is a much more fluid form of animation. It's freer, it has this sort of sense of lightness to it. So to me that was like Leonardo, you go into Leonardo's brain, you go into his thoughts. That would be 2D animation. When we're in the real world, it would be stop motion animation. Okay, well, is it easier to do one or the other? People think stop motion is much harder, but I think it's just where you have to put the planning for it or where it the difficulties lie. Like stop motion, you build a puppet. The a lot of the work is in the building of everything and assembling and like working out the costumes, working out how they armatures will be built. And then once you have the puppets and you animated, that's what you have. I mean, you have it's like a live action shoot and you shoot it and you have that footage, right? It's done with 2D drawing animation. You have the difficulty. There's planning and designing it, but once you animate it, there's other follow on technique. Tasks that have to be done has to be colored, maybe cleaned up because the animators generally draw a rough. And then there's another artist that cleans it up and stuff. But also you have to deal with each animator might draw the character slightly differently and you need to kind of reign that in and adjust. They're always a little off. I mean, I think if you really go through the film and really analyze it, you'll see the Leonardo's and the 2D change sizes. Oh, I don't get, I don't get that that mean about it. That could really slow motion. You build this puppet that's it you cannot vary it. Each artist that touches it's going to be the same. So they have their you know, they're both it's animation. Animation is the nuttiest crazy anything going to happen. Right. Right. That anything can happen with animation. That's right. That's true. Squish and squish. Come on. When you were doing using his his artwork, what did you see that he could have been an animator at some point. I mean, they always thought that actually, you know, you see how he studied motion. He did a lot of studies about how people move or animals move. And you see he does different. There's these drawings he did of construction workers and you see them in different poses of working and they look like animators, you know, sketches that we would do. We study anatomy and we look at people walking around the street and we do fill our sketchbooks with these actions, you know, and obviously studied anatomy. So he's learning about how the body moves. And and so, yeah, I've always thought if he if animation was a thing back then, he might have tried animation. I don't think it would be the only thing you do because the guy is always changing his ideas. Well, to me, that's so remarkable that there are all these things he had his hand in and it could you imagine yourself? I mean. Sure. Yeah. You have a lot of interest in a lot of different things, but he was like at the top of his game with so many of those things. Yeah. No, I don't see myself that way, though. Where do you find the human element to Leonardo? Well, I find it in that he, you know, he had to have a patron. He had to have somebody who paid him money, but he had these other dreams he wanted to do, which I think a lot of us do. You know, you have to make a living, but you also want to do other things that you find more enjoyable or explore, you know? And then also, he had a lot of fear of like how he would be except did in his world. And I think that's true of most a lot of people today. He wanted you know, he wanted recognition for what he did and what he could do and that he didn't always receive that, you know. So I think there's a lot of humanity. And then ultimately the story is about legacy and what you leave behind. And I think that to me speaks to a lot of what I would imagine. I hope people think about, you know, how we touch other people and affect their lives and stuff. So to me that those are the human elements that I really wanted to touch on, you know, and also the curiosity, I mean, the curiosity and all these other things. So how do we start casting the voices? I mean, you had the voices in your mind. You said this would be perfect for so-and-so or is it just I mean, that to me it's it's an international cast. Yeah. And we really came about I developed the character first and was the story and then and now is still developing the story. But then I was like, okay, who could voice Leonardo? And then, I mean, the only person I could really think of was Stephen Fry, just because he's such a polymath himself and he didn't want the like we were being voice of a Gandalf. I really wanted like this lighter voice with wit and intelligence. And to me, Stephen was that perfect casting. And even when recording him, he would correct my use of words and then give me ology and that word like, you know, so much fun. So and then Marguerite sing Daisy Ridley and the Disney are the Star Wars films at Disney. But, uh, he, yeah, she, she just had a nice a power in her voice and also a kind of vulnerability in there as well. And I thought that was perfect for Marguerite. I didn't know I would ever be able to cast her, but I was like, okay, that's the character in some ways, that voice inside Marguerite. And then, you know, you go, Okay, who do you want? You know, the producers. Like, okay, who should we cast for Marguerite? I'm like, Why is it Daisy? Ridley would be great? And we're like, Well, it's you. We can get these, really. And then you also make a list. You're like, Oh, and so on. So and so. But she was at the top. I really wanted Daisy and then, you know, and she accepted to do it too. And Marion Cotillard was like suggested actually by the French studio. We're still looking for Louise's voice. And they said we might be able to get Marion Cotillard. And you're like, Well, you know, hey, I guess we could use her. Yeah, maybe. But, you know, the one interesting thing with her is, you know, we have these songs in the film and we actually that was the last song we made because that she sings because we didn't have one for her. And then I told Alex, the composer, I said, Alex, we have Marion Cotillard in the film. She's the one person everyone knows can sing and we don't have a song for her. So we reworked the story a little bit to put in the UN Guard song on Guard L.A. and it just was like the perfect thing because it connected to the dueling in the earlier part, right? And like that. And so that's how the film would work and evolve. It's like, Well, we need this here. And it's like, Oh, we have to check connected there and thanks, Bruce, for that interview. Real fascinating stuff. And now you do have one other interview and that would be Alex Mandel. And you'll hear him talk, too, about working with his daughter and you'll hear about those who can't sing because, you know, they don't always put singers in these animated films. In fact, many of the Disney films, they would have a singing voice and then they would also have a speaking voice. So Aladdin, spoiler alert, The singing voice of Aladdin is not the talking voice of a that and that's that's not uncommon. It's often the practice. But you'll hear him talk about some of the actors who are in the film and their abilities with singing Fill Me In. Where do you start with something like this? This seems like, Man, how do I a paid tribute to somebody like Leonardo? And then what? Where do I begin with the sound of it. Yeah, well, I mean, Jim Capobianco, the writer and director, has been studying Leonardo for years. He had done a film about narrative energy back in, I think, 2009. And so I was trying to catch up, but really relied on Jim to say, this is the part of Leonardo da Vinci he was interested in, which is his last year, where he left Italy as a older man, went to France and never came back. And so this is him really dealing with the end of his life and the meaning of life and his mortality and what he can leave behind for future generations, which he did. And so, yeah, that was the storyline. And so then the question is, well, how do we tell that story? But do you started researching music of the Times and saying it's got to sound authentic to that period? Or do you say, Well, now here's my chance to be an inventor and I can go off the tracks? Leonardo da Vinci was ahead of his time, right? He was designing flying machines 500 years or 400 years before the Wright brothers created an airplane. So that gave us some leeway because I could have music that sounded more of the time for, say, the King's Court. But then from Leonardo, it was ahead of its time, you know, And so this the music becomes a kind of metaphor for the mindset of that character. So Leonardo and Marguerite, some of their music sounds like it's 150 years ahead of its time. Some of it sounds like it's modern. Whenever their ideas jump forward to our way of thinking, the music becomes more modern to reflect their their thinking. Okay, so then when you're dealing with the voices and maybe a voice isn't that good at singing, and I'm not trying to name names now he's being called out here, but do you write for them or do you write the songs? And then you say, okay, well, I guess you can talk through this one. Yeah. And it's there's interesting story there. Stephen Fry, who's a brilliant writer. Not that I'm naming names. Okay. Oh, no, I. And he would be the first to agree. He said, I'm really not comfortable singing. But Jim, Jim's idea was to have him speaking. But even so, there is I don't know if you've seen the film. There's a scene where Leonardo arrives in France and he builds his workshop. The walls come up and as he names things, they magically appear in stop motion. And that was a very fast, almost like wrap that. Stephen Fry Right, right. It just took a while. He was very worried, but it turned. He did a great job. It turned out great. Daisy Ridley You know, my daughter said, Dad, you know, here she is singing with Barbra Streisand. And I listened to her voice and I thought, okay, I think I get a feel for her range. She's got a great voice. I'll write the song to suit her voice. And same with Marion Cotillard, beautiful voice. She's recorded a lot. So I had a pretty good idea of what her range was, and I could keep that in mind as I composed songs for her. So then how long do you have to write these songs? Because here's like nine songs you've got or something? It's nine songs. Yeah. It's it's funny because at the end there, I wrote a bunch pretty fast. The reason was I think Jim saw, Oh, these songs are helping to tell this story, so maybe Daisy needs a song, maybe Marguerite needs a song. I pitched the idea. I said, We got to get Marion Cotillard to sing it song. She's a great singer. And also I want to learn more about the Queen. Like, what did she want? And because she's a secondary character, you know, you don't have that much time. So the song really summarizes a lot about her in a very quick way. And that song was written quite quickly, and the fastest song was when Stephen said he really said, I cannot sing at all. So there's a scene where he's talking to Mona Lisa, and we had 45 minutes to rewrite the song, and I suggested Jim, What if Mona Lisa sings the chorus back to him? So he laments his situation, I'm finished and Mona Lisa sings to him. Yeah, you are. We're out of time. You're done. So sometimes you've got years and sometimes you've got 45 minutes. Okay, there's. There's a credit. That is it. Sequoia. Is that a relative? Sequoia is my daughter. Okay, But then from 10 to 15 or something, what is the deal with that? So we've been working on this movie for a long time. When Jim asked for that first song, I had my ten year old daughter Sequoia sing it, and then it was cute. She had a very cute voice and it's just adorable. We actually had a singer when she was 12. That's the version that's in the movie. But then Jim said, Oh, I want the girls all for girls to be sing for our harmonies. So I recorded her when she was 15 too. So we have my daughter Sequoia, singing different songs. And I said, Yeah, and which is again, really fits the theme of the movie, which is about family, and it's about, you know, legacy and sharing ideas with each other through the generations. So it worked really nicely. So what does she think about this? I think she's she's into it. I think know, she's an aspiring actress, so she wants to be judged on her own merits, which I appreciate. But as far as I'm concerned, she did me a huge favor. And it you know, she's singing a duet with Daisy Ridley. So that's pretty cool. I think she's does she get all these, like, chicks then for each age? I'd be holding out for that. Can I be her agent? It'd be a cool thing. Thankfully not. No, I. We basically said we're going to put aside a fun for her. There's a certain amount of money that will be set aside for her, and we've handled that within the family. Why did you stick with this so long? What was it? What was the pole for you? Well, I really believe in Jim Capobianco's vision. I think he's a true artist. I think that this is it's a work of art. I mean, and, Jim, his passion is contagious. And also, I got to have a lot of creative input, you know? And so Jim would hear me out. He didn't always take my suggestions, but sometimes he did. And so I felt like I was very much a part of the movie. And I, I wanted to see it succeed. So, you know, some some projects you do, you know, to pay the rent and some you do for passion. And this is a passion project. You must tell your daughter, I want to be your agent, because I think I think you've got a good partnership going on here, I think would be great. And I would make sure we got more than one check. You know, I'll let you know. I'll get you the list. People keep asking me this and and but she will be she she's happy. She got a very good compensation package. But thank you, Bruce. Thanks for that other interview. And it just to kind of fill folks in on this film as well. It does have some heavyweights of sorts in this isn't just like it's a smaller, no more independent film, but but we've got Daisy Ridley from the Star Wars Rebels. He's in it. Matt Berry is in it. Stephen Fry is Leonardo Da Vinci. I was going to say. DiCaprio You see, that is your ball. It is like it's not easy. But yes, there's on demand. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So some pretty well-known actors in there. So it should be an interesting one to check out when you put it out there that this is a passion project. People come because they know you're not going to just blow it off and it's going to be a two second kind of thing. It's going to be something that really gets the attention and the the care and the feeding of it that it needs. And, you know, when it's over, what's next? What's what exactly comes after that. Yeah. And you know, what's fun about this episode, Bruce, is our concerns were a little bit alleviated because we know you can't get actors right now to talk about it right during the strike. They can't talk to promote their stuff, but you're able to get the composer the film in and the director. So they, you know, we're still we're still bringing them in. Dare to dream we could get a hairdresser. That's right. They could. You never know. It could happen. It could F and costume designer. Yes, Yes. Well, I love all of those big ones, you know, but that gives you a sense of what the other parts of the industry are and that it isn't just about an actor strike or a restaurant strike. There's a lot more involved with all of this. So, yeah, it's fascinating. And I love hearing their stories because I don't know that I could be that passionate about it. Yeah, absolutely. So what do we have coming up? Anything of interest on your end? Here's the other thing. I this is another kind of spin off of all of that is movies based on people's lives. And I think next week we're going to look at films that were based on Saw The Blind Side, where Michael was saying, you know, that wasn't true. They used me. How true are these based in truth films and how really can we trust them? And I did get a chance to talk to the real guy behind Gran Turismo, and you'll get a chance to meet Jann Mardenborough and find out his story. But next week, we're going to look at we're going to look at that whole world of this is based on a true story or parts of this are based on a true story or some of this could be true, you know, but I think we'll look at that. So think of the films you've seen and you go, you know what? I don't know how close that is. You know, it's an interesting one. And we'll probably talk a little bit more about this one next week. But I started watching the second season of Winning Time on HBO, the one that follows the lake, the rise of the L.A. Lakers. Right. And we talked a little bit about this a few episodes ago, but how there were some criticisms of it perhaps not necessarily being as truthful to reality in the first episode comes on and they put up a disclaimer saying that some of the some of the things here in this show may have been changed for dramatic purposes. Some characters might have been fudged a little bit. So yeah, I kind of found that one interesting. It's amazing they use those lines well, they get them off the hook, but Right. How they reword that all the time, you know, based on a true story, based in fact, this is a factual ized version of true events. I mean, where did they come up with this crap to to identify it? But I think it would be fun. And we talked to John and he tells you what it's like and how he thought the movie went awesome. All right. Well, that sounds good and it gives us something to look forward to next week. I know you sent me the interview already had that one kind of squirreled away that night? Yes, in the bag. And I started I gave it a little bit of a sneak preview. I'll give give a final listen between now and when we speak again. But yeah, until next week.

Editor - Colby Parker Jr., ACE GRAN TURISMO editor Colby Parker Jr ACE has largely built his feature-film editing career on high-adrenaline action films, most notably for his work with director Peter Berg; including FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS (2004), PATRIOTS DAY (2016), DEEPWATER HORIZON (2016) and MILE 22 (2018).  Colby even took a turn in the MCU, cutting ANT-MAN (2015) alongside Dan Lebental ACE.  Bypassing the usual assistant editor route, Parker began his professional journey cutting music videos, which he credits with helping to build his editorial chops for the action genre. The true story of a team of unlikely underdogs -- a working-class gamer, a former race-car driver, and an idealistic motorsport executive, GRAN TURISMO is directed by Neill Blomkamp from a screenplay by Jason Hall and Zach Baylin. Produced by Columbia Pictures, PlayStation Productions, and 2.0 Entertainment, it is based on the racing simulation video game series of the same name and tells the true story of Jann Mardenborough, a teenage Gran Turismo player who became a professional race car driver.  Editing Gran Turismo In our discussion with GRAN TURISMO editor Colby Parker Jr. ACE, we talk about: Going from Berg to Blomkamp Starting with score, but skipping SICARIO Gamer Vision The sight and sound duties of assistant editors Fighting back against the director The Credits Visit ExtremeMusic for all your production audio needs Learn all about Avid's Media Composer for Students program Subscribe to The Rough Cut podcast and never miss an episode Visit The Rough Cut on YouTube

This week, Julia is joined by Slate associate culture writer Nadira Goffe and Jamelle Bouie, opinion columnist at The New York Times. The panel begins by test driving Gran Turismo, a sports movie that is essentially a Playstation commercial based on popular intellectual property and “real life.” Then, they explore Mask Girl, a visually stylish K-drama that tackles men, capital letters, systemic violence, Korean beauty standards, and fame through smart social satire. Finally, the three discuss the virtues, or lack thereof, found in Oliver Anthony's number one hit song “Rich Men North of Richmond” (which Jamelle also covered in his essay “The Irony in the ‘Rich Men North of Richmond'”). In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel considers prep, preppy style, and their relationships to the American art form, inspired by Natalia Mehlman Petrzela's piece for The New Republic, “We're All Preppy Now.”  Email us at culturefest@slate.com.  Endorsements: Jamelle: The films of Satoshi Kon, the legendary Japanese film director, animator, and screenwriter. Jamelle particularly enjoys Perfect Blue and Millennium Actress, which he calls a “love letter to mid-century Japanese filmmaking.”  Julia: A recent tomato sandwich devotee, Julia endorses Eric Kim's furikake tomato sandwich recipe for The New York Times. It calls for Wonder Bread, a bit of mayonnaise, heirloom tomatoes, and a sprinkling of the dry Japanese condiment.  Nadira: British neo-funk electronic collective, Jungle, and the dance-based music videos for their latest album, Volcano, specifically “Candle Flame,” “Dominoes,” and viral sensation “Back on 74,” brilliantly choreographed by Shay Latukolan.  Outro music: "Warefare" by Sandra Bjurman Podcast production by Cameron Drews. Production assistance by Kat Hong.  Hosts Julia Turner, Nadira Goffe, Jamelle Bouie Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
