This week, The Business revisits a conversation with actor Aubrey Plaza and director John Patton Ford about their film “Emily the Criminal.” When Plaza's colleague handed her the script for the drama thriller, she was immediately struck by it. “It was just one of those scripts that I started to read, and I just flew through it,” she says. “It's so readable and fun … it has this momentum that propels you forward.” While Plaza had found her next great project, Ford explains why it took 12 years to write the story. With Plaza, they discuss the struggles of making “Emily The Criminal” and independent movies in general, and the film's unexpected success. First, Kim Masters and Matt Belloni look into how the Writers Guild of America has voted to authorize strike, while Netflix details its plans for a crackdown on password sharing in the United States, and Fox News and Dominion reach a settlement.

This week Andrew and Ted took in a double feature with "Emily the Criminal" and "White Noise". I think it is safe to say that Andrew and Ted wish they watched these two movies at a theater so that they could have hung out in the lobby playing arcade games. "Emily the Criminal" stars Aubrey Plaza (Parks & Rec and White Lotus Season 2) and Theo Rossi (Sons of Anarchy and Vendetta) in this crime / drama / thriller written and directed by John Patton Ford. On the flip side of this double feature coin took in "White Noise" starring Adam Driver (Star Wars and BlacKkKlansman), Greta Gerwig (Little Women and Lady Bird), and Don Cheadle (Iron Man and Oceans Series) in this book based (written by: Don DeLillo) story directed by Noah Baumbach (Marriage Story).

Jamie and Aaron discuss "Emily the Criminal" (2022), the new movie starring and produced by Aubrey Plaza and directed by John Patton Ford. In this gritty, low budget thriller, a 30-something art school drop-out (Plaza) with $70,000 of student loan debt and a minor criminal record breaks bad after a sexy swindler (Theo Rossi) introduces her to the lucrative world of credit card fraud. Is this an anti-capitalist film, or merely a slice of reality? Either way, we like it. Spoiler alert for this movie, obviously, but also season two of "White Lotus."

Producer Garrick Dion (Whiplash, Nightcrawler) joins the podcast to discuss John Patton Ford's excellent independent film Emily The Criminal, starring Aubrey Plaza (having a hell of a year between this and The White Lotus). This is exactly the kind of movie we do this show for. Was under the radar, just popped up on Netflix, and has consistently gotten great reviews. Deservedly so, because this is a tight, attention-grabbing, compelling character study of one woman's exhilarating journey to the dark side (that for her, is actually not dark). In some ways, it's own version of Breaking Bad, but in a distinctive style and narrative. Let me know your thoughts on this film, feel free to shoot an email to dan@voyagemedia.com, or reach out on social @BenamorDan (Twitter), watch_this_tonight (Instagram) or @watchthistonightpodcast (TikTok).

Sí, no andabas con la cabeza en cualquier lado: es viernes. Y como todos los viernes desde que se instauró el calendario romano sin excepción, hay un nuevo episodio de Hoy Trasnoche. En el capítulo de hoy Flor, Calu y Oti —que vino con ganas de hacerse notar— y sin el chico de redes porque lo echamos por ir a hacer caca en medio de la grabación, se meten con coyunturas absolutamente variopintas como: Brian Cox en contra del método actoral, Baz Luhrmann que parece que le piden un corte de Elvis (2022) de cuatros horas pero no queda claro quiénes, el estreno "en el circuito alternativo" de Argentina 1985 (2022) por el capricho de los multipantallas y la ¿vuelta? de las comedias románticas. Pero eso no es todo, porque además vieron una película: la elegida es Emily the Criminal (2022) de John Patton Ford. ¿les habrá gustado? ¿Habrán estado de acuerdo? Mirá si te lo vamos a contar acá. Y de verdad que eso tampoco es todo, porque Flor sobre el final, viendo que nos quedaba todo medio cortina sacó un Nepobabies de la galera y, sin querer queriendo ¿inició una saga? Mirá, que no te lo estemos cobrando es un milagro, sinceramente.

Directed by John Patton Ford, EMILY THE CRIMINAL tells the story of Emily (Aubrey Plaza), a young woman struggling to deal with her student debt. Unable to find work due to her past criminal record, she becomes desperate for cash. Though, when a co-worker empathizes with her problems, he gives her a mysterious phone number to call where she might find an opportunity to help pay the bills. After making the call, she meets Youcef (Theo Rossi), a charismatic middleman who deals with stolen credit cards. While Emily is initially apprehensive, she accepts the job and the two begin to work together to expand their business ventures. In this 1on1, we speak to Ford about whether or not we all have a dark side and researching the underworld.

Wading in the wiles of crippling debt can be a scary thing....On this episode we're tackling an excellent little piece of indie cinema that is in select theatres now.  We're looking at 'Emily The Criminal'.Emily (Aubrey Plaza) is saddled with student debt and locked out of the job market due to a minor criminal record. Desperate for income, she takes a shady gig as a “dummy shopper,” buying goods with stolen credit cards supplied by a handsome and charismatic middleman named Youcef (Theo Rossi). Faced with a series of dead-end job interviews, Emily soon finds herself seduced by the quick cash and illicit thrills of black-market capitalism, and increasingly interested in her mentor Youcef. Together, they hatch a plan to bring their business to the next level in Los Angeles.We had the unique pleasure of sitting down with first time writer/director John Patton Ford about the origins of this story, getting someone like Aubrey Plaza on board as she works against type and so very much more....

Writer and Director John Patton Ford and Tyler Davidson, a producer from LOW SPARK FILMS stopped by our studio to talk about their new movie "Emily The Criminal".  They discuss how the movie originated from just an idea to getting financed and produced, to recruiting actress Aubrey Plaza to join the film, to getting screened at the world-renowned Sundance Film Festival.  John and Tyler will host Q&A's after these screenings this weekend: Thursday, August 11th - 7PM show at Cedar Lee Friday, August 12th - 7:20 show at Chagrin Cinemas Saturday, August 13th - 7PM show at Cinemark Valley View 

Our guest this time is filmmaker John Patton Ford, the writer/director of Emily the Criminal which premiered at the Sundance film festival and showed at MSPIFF locally.  Listen in as we discuss the process of making an indie film in 20 days, all things Aubrey Plaza, more about John's history as a filmmaker, and what's next for him. Emily the Criminal is set to open in theaters on August 12, 2022. 

Emily the Criminal will be featured as a spotlight film at the 10th Annual Annapolis Film Festival.  Today, we hopped on the phone with Director, John Patton Ford to discuss the film and the festival. Tickets And Passes Available Here. The Annapolis Film Festival opens on Thursday, March 31, 2022 and runs through Sunday, April 2, 2022. Synopsis: EMILY THE CRIMINAL SATURDAY, 4/2 | 8:00 PM MARYLAND HALL | MAIN THEATER The amazing Aubrey Plaza shows off her serious side taking on the titular role of a woman who gets lured into a credit card scheme to make some easy money and gets caught up in a vicious cycle that becomes impossible to break. This cautionary tale is incredibly timely as it reflects the plight of the working-class population who are at the mercy of the unsustainable gig economy, the impossibly high cost of living, and crushing student loan debt. It also highlights the dangers of technology in our interconnected society that makes it so easy to get scammed but so difficult to pass a background check for an honest job interview. John Patton Ford has crafted a unique modern-day parable — part philosophical crime thriller and part psychological portrait of a Millennial Robin Hood. This is the antithesis of Emily in Paris, the idyllic tv show about a young woman landing her dream job as a brand influencer in France; the Emily in this movie stumbles into a nightmare grift as she falls under the wrong kind of influence. (USA, 2022, 93 min., Drama/Thriller) Have a listen!

In this Art of the Cut special, we talk to Harrison Atkins, the editor of "Emily the Criminal." The film stars Aubrey Plaza as a woman who slides uneasily into the world of credit card fraud and identity theft, and was written and directed by John Patton Ford. Harrison describes himself as a "holistic filmmaker" wearing numerous hats on many different productions including directing and cinematography, but his editing credits include several indie features including "Lace Crater," "Madeline's Madeline," and "Karmalink."

Sir Alec Guinness may always be remembered as Obi Wan Kenobi, but his career goes far beyond those three little science fiction films he did late in his career. He worked many times with David Lean. He gave life to the spy George Smiley long before Gary Oldman. And he starred in a number of the great Ealing comedies, his first of which is “Kind Hearts and Coronets,” where he pulls a Peter Sellers by playing 8 of the characters in the film. Join us — Pete Wright and Andy Nelson — as we begin our Sir Alec Guinness series by talking about Robert Hamer's 1949 comedy “Kind Hearts and Coronets.” We talk about the comedy in this film, and how clever it is to write a script in which the audience roots for the protagonist even though he's planning on committing a number of murders. We discuss the brilliant performances, from Dennis Price and Valerie Hobson to Joan Greenwood and, of course, Guinness. Not to mention a memorable turn from Miles Malleson. We chat about the cinematography by Douglas Slocombe, who we last discussed way back at the beginning of our run with the Indiana Jones series. And we talk about a recent script on the 2014 Black List, “Rothchild,” written by John Patton Ford, that takes this story and updates it. We even bring Ford on to discuss it with us. It's a great way to kick off our Guinness series and we have a great conversation about this brilliantly funny film. Tune in! Hey! You know what would be awesome?
