Podcast appearances and mentions of Jeff Baena

Boston-bestie Mandy Connor returns to talk about four movies. She and Scotty start with the best of the bunch: the truly frightening 2024 Irish mystery-horror film "Oddity," by writer/director Damian Mc Carthy and featuring a standout performance from Carolyn Bracken. They then shift gears with 2020's oddball but impressive indie psychological drama/sci-fi horror movie "Horse Girl," directed by the late Jeff Baena and co-written by star Alison Brie. Things take a marked turn for the worse with this year's "Until Dawn," a severely undercooked and trope-heavy adaptation of the beloved PlayStation game. They finish off with the promising (but ultimately disappointing) "Heretic" (2024), starring Hugh Grant, Chloe East, and Sophie Thatcher, and written/directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods. Scotty and Mandy also give some love to the recent trailer for "The Long Walk," and Mandy sings the praises of "Antrum: The Deadliest Film Ever Made" (2018). WARNING: Scotty and Mandy tried to avoid major spoilers for most of the movies discussed, but you should proceed with caution nonetheless. To be honest, they didn't try all that hard for "Until Dawn."

We're venturing to Garfagnana, Italy, in the Year of Our Lord 1347, for a raunchy comedy based on The Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio. In the film, three medieval nuns lead a simple life in their convent until a virile young servant who's been forced into hiding by his angry lord appears, and the repressed nunnery erupts in a whirlwind of pansexual horniness, substance abuse, and wicked revelry. The film, written and directed by Jeff Baena, has an all-star cast, including Alison Brie, Aubrey Plaza, Kate Micucci, Dave Franco, Jemima Kirk, John C. Reilly, Molly Shannon, Fred Armisen, and Nick Offerman. Baena, who passed away earlier this year, was married to co-star Aubrey Plaza. In their review, the Catholic League called the film “pure trash.” But is the price of admission into this Garden of Earthly Delights worth the penance, or do we love the sin but hate the sinner?   If you are in crisis, you should call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255), or text the Crisis Text Line (text HELLO to 741741).

Reiser is a fixture behind the camera as well. He co-created and co-produced There's Johnny!, a seven-episode series which originally streamed on Hulu and now streams on Peacock. The show, a fictional story set behind-the-scenes of Johnny Carson's Tonight Show circa 1972, co-created with filmmaker David Steven Simon and co-produced with director David Gordon Green in conjunction with The Carson Company, premiered to critical praise, with Decider saying There's Johnny! is “a television experience unlike any I've seen on TV in recent years” and “unfolds like a dream, a memory fondly recalled.” As an author, Reiser's first book, Couplehood, sold over two million copies and reached the number one spot on The New York Times bestsellers list. His subsequent books, Babyhood and Familyhood, were best sellers as well.

Me caen muy bien Dan Dehaan y Aubrey Plaza, que le vamos a hacer. Únicamente por eso he visto esta película y, oye, al final no está mal pese a los locos cambios de tono que tiene. Una curiosa drama-comedia sobre la resurrección y la permanencia -o no- del amor tras la muerte.

Megan kicks things off with a quick review of George Miller's disappointing fantasy THREE THOUSAND YEARS OF LONGING (3:23), where a lonely scholar (Tilda Swinton) encounters a Djinn (Idris Elba) who offers to grant her three wishes. Next, we discuss Jeff Baena's zany comedy SPIN ME ROUND (11:43), starring Alison Brie as the manager of an Olive Garden-like restaurant on a company trip to Italy.

The immensely talented actor, writer, and producer Alison Brie is our episode 115 guest. A four-time collaborator of writer-director Jeff Baena, the pair have just put out Spin Me Round, a masterful and modern rom-com with a titanic twist, for IFC Films. Our captivating cover star is equal parts fan favorite and actor's-actor, and on this podcast we discuss specific roles she's played, her big body of work, roles on Mad Men, Community, GLOW and so much more. We talk tv versus film and the changed entertainment landscape, all peppered with intimate stories around her cool corral of creative collaborators, including husband Dave Franco, of course. We talk to the two-time Golden Globe and five-time SAG Award-nominated actor about what it's truly like, being widely and publicly recognized for your work. We talk about her turn as a writer;  about how she does it, where she writes from (literally and figuratively), and about creative partnership. We discuss refueling and recharging as an artist, and the important role exercise plays in her life. You'll hear about the kinds of work Alison would like to take part in making in the future, as a writer, director and producer, and also as an actor, including her desire for doing something “dangerous and messy” when it comes to film. We talk working with women, basking in all things GLOW, Promising Young Woman, and exciting new project, Somebody I Used To Know, including the story about co-writing it in quarantine with her husband Dave, who is also director. Alison explains why fans of Community will get a kick out of its casting. She shares her special moment with Spielberg, all the details about unlike-anything-you've-seen Spin Me Round, down to Molly Shannon's crazy costumes and how part of the film's premise was sparked by an article about a certain Italian restaurant chain, and more. Then there's her #Obsixed list of latest obsessions, spanning skincare and touting tv. It's an incredible conversation with Story + Rain cover star, Alison Brie.

In this episode of The Discourse Podcast, we talk to actress Alison Brie (“Community”) and director Jeff Baena (“The Little Hours”), both of whom are currently out promoting their latest project that they co-wrote together, “Spin Me Round.” It's their third collaboration following "The Little Hours" (2017) and "Horse Girl" (2020), the latter of which Brie starred in and co-wrote. “Spin Me Round” stars Alison Brie as a manager of a well-known Italian chain restaurant who wins an all-expenses-paid getaway to the restaurant's “institute” outside of Florence, Italy. While there, she meets and has a brief romance with the charismatic owner of the chain and slips into a potentially sinister unraveling of her trip. The film has a jam-packed cast filled with comedic heavy-hitters like Aubrey Plaza (who happens to be Baena's wife), Fred Armisen, Tim Heidecker, Molly Shannon, Debby Ryan, Tricia Helfer, and Alessandro Nivola.

In this zombie Rom-Com aptly titled Life After Beth, a recently bereaved boyfriend finds his ex-girlfriend has come back from the dead under mysterious circumstances. An all-star cast of Dane Dehaan, Aubrey Plaza, John C. Reilly, Molly Shannon, Anna Kendrick, Matthew Grey Grubler, and Cheryl Hines is led by writer and director Jeff Baena. Where does this film fall in the history of zombie lore? Did they deliver laughs on the same level as Shaun of the Dead, Zombieland, and Fido? These A24 nerds discuss and dissect this body of work. Caution: movie spoilers.

Reilly, Molly Shannon and Anna Kendrick.

We discuss the Horse Girl 2020 film directed by Jeff Baena and written by Jeff Baena and Alison Brie. Also we're in Fiji for some reason. Let's find out if this movie is Bula!

If your impression of Thomas Middleditch is that of a somewhat befuddled, bumbling, awkward-bordering-on-geeky misfit, we won’t blame you... yet. He has personified that type in films such as Splinterheads, The Bronze, The Final Girls, and even The Wolf of Wall Street. So neither can we blame Silicon Valley co-creator/director Mike Judge for writing the role of socially discombobulated Richard Hendricks specifically with Middleditch in mind. And now, Hendricks’ wide-eyed, stammering bewilderment seems to stem from Middleditch’s genuine disbelief at his own good fortune; after all, he’s landed the lead on a series that’s become more popular than the latest tech fads the show sends up. If it’s possible to be both a show’s star and its secret weapon, that’s what he seems to have achieved. In calling Middleditch the most underrated actor on TV, The Decider said, “One of the reasons that Silicon Valley quickly went from good to great to one of the best is because of Middleditch, who’s made Richard into an incredibly sympathetic, watchable character despite his by-design lack of dynamism.” High praise for an actor whose character has dwelt mainly in the shade of the charismatic type-As who surround him. So Mike Judge did not misjudge. We’re guessing he knew what a lot of the show’s fans may not. Middleditch is a sharply funny and frenetic writer and comic who found his way out of bully crosshairs and subsequently out of Nelson, BC through theater. Impatient to get on with doing what he loved, he dropped out of school in Canada to start writing and acting in sketches, cartoons and commercials. Nothing happened instantly; he walked dogs and sold shoes while writing scripts that didn’t go anywhere and auditioning without success for Saturday Night Live. But sometimes all you need is the proper attitude. When asked to join the Improvised Shakespeare Company (a Chicago-based improv troupe that performs spontaneous plays in Elizabethan-sounding English), his first thought was, “That sounds impossible. Sure!” When you’re fearless and open, fate tends to fall in line. A goofy, impromptu sketch for a Second City training program, in which he rapped about his faux-abiding love for Chicken McNuggets, sat out on the internet for a year before it caught the attention of a creative director for McDonald’s, who cracked up. Cue commercials, newfound exposure and two valuable lessons: a) fate can hide in odd, deep-fried places and b) keep going until someone laughs. Since then, he’s worked with some of the most talented names in comedy, including Zach Galifianakis, Key & Peele, and Jay Roach. He’s created voices and characters for shows including Beavis and Butt-Head, The Office, Comedy Bang! Bang!, and cult web series Jake and Amir, all while writing and making a seemingly ceaseless string of odd, humorous shorts. Even if all that hadn’t happened, we bet Middleditch would still be putting funny stuff into the world, if not to entertain us, then solely to entertain himself. You get the feeling that if his schedule ever slowed down or (god forbid), his internet connection died, he’d be perfectly fine in front of the mirror making faces, voices, and scenes. But small chance of that. He’s just finished playing the title role in Jeff Baena’s Joshy and will star in the upcoming Entanglement. He’s also slated to be animated in Henchmen and Captain Underpants. Though his dance card is largely filled with comedies, Middleditch remains open to playing any kind of character that interests him, and wouldn’t mind venturing into more dramatic territory. We’d like to see him try. Seriously—we’d really like to see him try.

Partly because the country is on lockdown and partly because Jonathan (@Berkreviews) and Corey (@coreyrstarr) were not feeling like the previously planned theme was that compelling, April 2020 features Small Screen movies. These are films that are currently streaming on one service or another. As far as the podcast goes, each episode features an in-depth review of the movie for the week. They begin with a spoiler-free review before diving in completely after the needed spoiler warning. However, before getting into the review of the week, Jonathan and Corey discuss what other movies they've seen since the last episode as well as anything else they feel like discussing. To help them decide which of the many films to watch each month they started creating themes for them all. Week 2: Horse Girl (2020) on Netflix For Week 2, Corey selected the Netflix original film Horse Girl (2020). Directed by Jeff Baena and starring Alison Brie, Molly Shannon, and Goldenite, Horse Girl shows "Sarah, a socially isolated woman with a fondness for arts and crafts, horses, and supernatural crime shows finds her increasingly lucid dreams trickling into her waking life." Both Corey and Jonathan are fans of Brie, she starred in the TV series Community (now on Netflix) and Mad Men. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/berkreviewscom-moviecasts/support

Join Paul Anthony Nelson and Flick Ford for this week's episode of PRIMAL SCREEN as they review Jeff Baena's film HORSE GIRL (2020), Flick's retro pick for this week in Pedro Almodóvar's 2011 thriller, THE SKIN I LIVE IN, and finally the latest offering from Netflix, LOST GIRLS (2020) dir. Liz Garbus. As many of us are beginning to feel the brunt of the COVID-19 pandemic, we as a team wish to express our sincere thoughts to those most vulnerable during this crisis. We are continuing to look forward in presenting weekly movie reviews and news throughout this difficult period, and we hope to keep in touch via our Facebook page and the 3RRR website.

Alison Brie’s screenwriting debut Horse Girl marks her second collaboration with director (and co-writer) Jeff Baena. Initially positioned as the typical quirky indie fare you’d expect from the Sundance Film Festival--where it made its debut--the film soon takes an unexpected turn down a darker alley, exploring the devastating effects of paranoid schizophrenia (or is it?, etc.) from its protagonist’s increasingly fractured perspective. Does this Netflix Original clear the fence, or is it due a visit to the glue factory? Alex and Dan are of course on hand to deliver their insights, ably assisted by our ever-growing, always eloquent group of Readers, although somehow - somehow! - we completely forget to mention the excellently observed show-within-a-film Purgatory. For shame. Please accept a mid-discussion quiz on actors with foody-drinky names (none of whom are called Geoff Beef) by way of atonement.

"Horse Girl," now in theaters and on Netflix, stars Alison Brie as a young woman who loves horses.That's as much as we can tell you without ruining the film, which Brie and director Jeff Baena co-wrote. Spoilers follow.The film, which premiered at Sundance last week, isn't what it at first appears to be. Baena doesn't care about genre or classification. What he and Brie do care about is committing completely to the perspective of their main character, Sarah, as she begins to question her perception of reality — and wonders if she's severely mentally ill, or one of the only people on earth who understands a dark truth.Here are highlights of the episode, with time stamps:2:00: Alison Brie and Jeff Baena interview begins.2:45: How the film suffered from skepticism and misunderstandings, and how the Duplass brothers helped make it a reality.3:40: How much did Jeff Baena and Alison Brie want the film to be open to interpretation?4:20: Alison Brie: "We certainly designed it so that upon multiple viewings people might pick up a little bit more of what we feel like is the through-line to the story."5:30: "A major crux of the film is how terrible it can be to not be able to trust your own mind."7:10: A tech issue arises and is handled in a humorous fashion.10:30: "I feel like genre's kind of like the bumpers at a bowling alley..."12:28: What is a horse girl, exactly?14:50: Your host is scared of horses.

Christopher Cross and Dylan Schwan have donned their tailored suits and poured a nice glass of whiskey, just for this week's review of Kingsman: The Golden Circle.

Filmmaker Jeff Baena was always into movies that didn't fit into easy categories. He tells Marc about having his mind blown at an early age thanks to directors like Kubrick and Fellini, which helps explain how Jeff could wind up writing a screenplay like I Heart Huckabees and directing a twisted Middle Ages comedy like The Little Hours. Also, Marc gets his friend and television foil Dave Anthony to stop so they can talk about Dave's new book and make fun of each other. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
