Podcast appearances and mentions of Julianne Moore

Filmmakers, we have an absolutely magical episode for you this week! While Giles Alderson has been out in Bulgaria producing his latest feature film, the brilliant Conor Boru steps into the host chair to sit down with the phenomenal director Susanne Bier to discuss her massive new release, PRACTICAL MAGIC 2. Nearly three decades after the original spellbound audiences, Susanne takes us behind the scenes of bringing the Owens sisters back to the big screen. She dives deep into the realities of directing a massive studio sequel, working with Hollywood royalty like Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, balancing practical on-set effects with visual spectacles, and why the beating heart of this film is the authentic sisterhood on screen.

In the film “Coyote vs. Acme,” which was released this week, the ingenious but unlucky Wile E. Coyote sues the Acme Corporation for damages caused by its malfunctioning merchandise. That is also the premise of the New Yorker staff writer Ian Frazier's original piece, which inspired the film. The screenwriter Samy Burch reimagined Frazier's premise as a satire of legal thrillers. “What if Wile E. was actually like a Dustin Hoffman character?” Burch wondered. “This guy out in the desert, working on something obsessively, addicted. . . . If this were humans, would the plot make any sense?” The film features actors such as Will Forte alongside Coyote, Foghorn Leghorn, and other “Looney Tunes” characters. Frazier talks with Burch, who was nominated for an Academy Award for “May December,” a drama starring Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore. Further reading: “Coyote V. Acme,” by Ian Frazier “Toons Have Seldom Been Loonier Than in ‘Coyote vs. Acme,' ” by Justin Chang New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday. Join host David Remnick as he discusses the latest in politics, news, and current events in conversation with political leaders, newsmakers, innovators, New Yorker staff writers, authors, actors, and musicians.

Moviewallas: One Night Only, The End of Oak Street & Spider-Man: Brand New Day This week on Moviewallas, Joe, Rashmi, and Yazdi tackle three very different new releases: the high-concept romantic comedy One Night Only, the dinosaur-filled suburban adventure The End of Oak Street, and the latest chapter in Tom Holland's Spider-Man story, Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The team also responds to listener feedback about The Odyssey, including the suggestion that Peter Jackson might have been better suited to tell the story across several films. Then it is time for another edition of “I Can't Find Anything to Watch…”, with three streaming recommendations and a bonus pick from a listener. Streaming Picks Margot's Got Money Troubles – Apple TV Rashmi recommends this series starring Elle Fanning, Michelle Pfeiffer, Nick Offerman, and Greg Kinnear. A college dropout and aspiring writer must find a way to support herself and her new baby while facing a rapidly growing pile of bills. The Room Next Door – Netflix Yazdi recommends Pedro Almodóvar's thoughtful drama starring Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton. The film explores friendship, dignity, life, death, and the choices people make when confronting mortality. The Dink – Apple TV Joe recommends this warm-hearted pickleball comedy starring Jake Johnson, Mary Steenburgen, and Ed Harris, with appearances from Ben Stiller and several familiar faces. It may lovingly mock the sport and its players, but it also delivers a funny and thoroughly enjoyable Friday-night movie. Bonus Pick: A Good Girl's Guide to Murder – Netflix Listener Michelle recommends this binge-worthy mystery series for fans of Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys. One Night Only In a fictional New York City where premarital sex and public displays of affection are forbidden for all but one night of the year, two people search for love while repeatedly missing, finding, and losing one another over the course of a single evening. Directed by Will Gluck and starring Callum Turner and Monica Barbaro, the film combines a deliberately absurd premise with the familiar pleasures of a romantic comedy. The hosts discuss the unanswered questions raised by its strange dystopian world, whether the premise needed a sharper political edge, and why none of that ultimately matters when the two leads have such appealing chemistry. Stylish, funny, romantic, and considerably more risqué than its sweet nature initially suggests, One Night Only succeeds by making the audience genuinely care about whether its central couple will find their way to each other. The End of Oak Street Written and directed by David Robert Mitchell, The End of Oak Street follows a suburban family whose neighborhood is transported somewhere unfamiliar after a mysterious cosmic event. Starring Anne Hathaway, Ewan McGregor, Maisy Stella, and Christian Convery, the film blends family drama, science fiction, horror, and the nostalgic spirit of 1980s Amblin adventures. The team describes it as Jurassic Park in suburbia – hammy, underwritten, occasionally ridiculous, but enormously entertaining. They discuss its impressive creatures, its surprisingly frightening and violent moments, its commitment to genuine danger, and the way it captures the look and atmosphere of films such as Super 8, E.T., and the classic Spielberg productions of the era. It may not be the film that saves cinema, but it is a loud, tense, nostalgic popcorn movie that deserves to be experienced in a theatre. Spider-Man: Brand New Day Tom Holland returns as Peter Parker in the fourth film of this Spider-Man series, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton. Following the events of the previous film, Peter is living alone in a world where the people closest to him no longer remember who he is. As he continues his life as Spider-Man, the emotional weight of that loneliness begins to shape his choices. The hosts discuss the film's quieter and more melancholic tone, its focus on sacrifice and isolation, the importance of revisiting the previous movies before watching, and whether audiences may be feeling some degree of superhero fatigue. While Yazdi questions the reuse of familiar Marvel villains, Rashmi and Joe respond strongly to the film's emotional core, focused storytelling, and the journey of a Peter Parker forced to ask what a meaningful life looks like when it must be lived alone. The action is polished, but it is the film's heart, relationships, and sense of longing that make Brand New Day stand out.

Dana and Tom with special guest, Reed Arnold (Writer, Director, and Star of Do Us Part (2026)) discuss Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011) for its 15th Anniversary: directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, written by Dan Fogelman, cinematography by Andrew Dunn, music by Christophe Beck and Nick Urata, editing by Lee Haxall, starring Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Julianne Moore, Emma Stone, Marisa Tomei, and Kevin Bacon.Plot Summary: Up next is a film from 2011 that takes the age-old Hollywood trope of the cinematic makeover and turns it completely on its ear. It's Crazy, Stupid, Love.Now, when we meet Cal Weaver—played with a wonderful, understated desperation by Steve Carell—he is a man whose comfortable, suburban life has just evaporated over dessert. His high school sweetheart and wife of twenty-five years, played by a luminous Julianne Moore, announces she wants a divorce. Suddenly, Cal finds himself cast adrift in the unfamiliar and deeply hostile waters of the modern dating scene.Enter Jacob Palmer, a suave, cynical, and impossibly sharp-dressed bachelor who treats the local lounge like his own personal kingdom. He's played by Ryan Gosling, channeling the kind of effortless, magnetic charisma that would make Cary Grant proud. Jacob takes pity on our broken-hearted protagonist, deciding to mentor Cal in the fine arts of tailored suits, confident posture, and the precise chemistry of the pickup line.But what makes Dan Fogelman's screenplay so compelling isn't just the transformation of Cal. It is how the film expertly weaves multiple generations of romance into a single, chaotic tapestry. We see Cal's teenage son harboring a fierce, agonizing crush on his older babysitter, who in turn harbors her own secret affection. Meanwhile, Jacob—the ultimate, uncatchable playboy—finds his own defenses completely dismantled by a sharp-witted law student, played with incredible comic timing by Emma Stone.It's a film that balances the slick, sophisticated banter of classic 1930s screwball comedies with a raw, very contemporary vulnerability. It reminds us that no matter our age, experience, or wardrobe, love has a way of making fools out of all of us.Chapters00:12 Introduction to Crazy, Stupid, Love06:06 Exploring the Plot and Themes12:05 Character Relationships and Development18:10 Masculinity and Love in the Film24:05 The Makeover Trope and Its Implications33:14 Navigating Relationships and Growth34:38 The Evolution of Long-Term Relationships36:20 Understanding Relationship Dynamics38:16 Stereotypes and Relationship Expectations39:09 Behind the Scenes of Filmmaking42:15 Foreshadowing and Directorial Choices48:45 Cultural Moments in Film52:11 Influences and Inspirations in Filmmaking01:00:49 Antagonists and Character Dynamics01:04:27 Nostalgia and College Experiences01:06:48 Navigating the Film Festival Circuit01:09:23 The Fight for Attention in Film01:11:45 Personal Experiences in Storytelling01:20:11 Choosing Between Writing, Directing, and Acting01:37:01 Best Scene(s)01:45:21 Best Line(s)01:51:14 The Stanley Rubric - Legacy02:02:16 The Stanley Rubric - Novelty02:15:46 The Stanley Rubric - Classicness02:22:31 The Stanley Rubric - Rewatchability02:29:01 Final Questions and ThoughtsYou can also find this episode in full video on YouTube.You can now follow us on Instagram, Twitter, Bluesky, Threads, YouTube, or TikTok (@gmoatpodcast).For more on the episode, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/crazy-stupid-love-2011-ft-reed-arnoldFor the entire rankings list so far, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/greatest-movie-of-all-time-listKeywords:Crazy Stupid Love, movie review, film analysis, Ryan Gosling, Steve Carell, romantic comedy, anniversary, movie discussion, film critique, best rom-coms, Emma Stone, discussion, romantic, comedy, film discussion, movie scenes, Hollywood, Crazy, Stupid, Love movie, podcast, podcast discussion, podcast episode, movie podcast, film podcast, rom-com, legacy, classic, rewatch, novelty, audience scoreRonny Duncan Studios

Jesse Malinowski sits down with Broadway vet and LA acting coach David Gray (HBO's Game Change opposite Julianne Moore, David Gray Studios), who puts a student on a TV show nearly every month, to break down why casting directors say every self-tape looks the same and why "real and grounded" is only step one. They get into the vertical boom taking over the industry, why only 2% of SAG works at any given time, and the audition wins actors never find out about, only on Get Scene Unscripted from Get Scene Studios.

Caitlin from the Plug It Up! podcast joins us to chat about Julianne Moore and Todd Hayne's historical melodrama, Far from Heaven. Will the crew be swept away by the lush technicolor musings on life in America circa the 1950's or will the dive into the interstitial space of gender, race, class, and sexuality be too much? Tune in to find out!

It's enough time to make a baby. It's a movie Julianne Moore doesn't put on her CV. And it's how much time since our last episode happened.  So: we're back. And in a desperately doomed attempt to make it snappy, we've asked three questions: what's the best new movie you've seen? What's the best old movie you've seen? And what's the movie you're most desperate to talk about? From Charles Laughton to Godfrey Ho to Fabio Testi, from the sublime to the ridiculous, discover where our cinematic obsessions have taken us over the last nine months.  And we promise: it won't be nine months until the next one. 

They say money can't buy happiness…And that certainly proved true in 1972, when Tony Baekeland – heir to the Bakelite plastic dynasty – plunged a knife into his mother Barbara's heart in their London penthouse.But behind the lurid headlines lay a trail of dysfunctional family secrets, taboo mother-son incest and twisted DIY conversion therapy: all washed down by a toxic cocktail of wealth and excess. And after being released from Broadmoor Hospital, Tony would strike again...Was this poor little rich boy mad, bad, or a victim of something much darker? Inspiring the 2008 film Savage Grace starring Julianne Moore and Eddie Redmayne, this is the most shocking true story you've probably never heard of.--Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus EpisodesYouTube - Full-length Video EpisodesTikTok / Instagram

This week we're discussing HANNIBAL. Jonathan Demme is out as director, but Ridley Scott takes the reigns. No Jodie Foster? Fear not, we have Julianne Moore! What could go wrong.When the Pope dies, we make a new Pope!

This is a landmark episode. Best friend of the pod and long-awaited guest John Garcia joins Torie to unpack one of the most reviled installments of the 90s erotic thriller canon, BODY OF EVIDENCE (1993). It just might be the best bad movie you've ever seen.   Starring the one, the only, the icon - Madonna - as a femme fatale firing on all cylinders, and Torie's boyfriend, Willem Dafoe, as her moronic lawyer, BODY OF EVIDENCE checks every single box of erotic thriller cliches and then some.  Suspected murderess Rebecca Carlson (whose alleged weapons of choice are cocaine and f**king old men to death) enlists private defense attorney Frank to prove her innocence. Like a succubus on a bender, Rebecca lures Frank away from his marriage to Julianne Moore by introducing him to the pleasures of S&M, hot candle wax, and more.  However, this film is a body of evidence in itself. Intentional or not, this opus of mediocrity exposed one of most storied and gatekept parts of male anatomy in all of Hollywood, Willem Dafoe's d**k. That in itself grants BODY OF EVIDENCE a place in the annals of film history. Get ready to go whale watching, because Willem's megalithic Dashow does not disappoint! — Make sure you tune into John's own movie podcast, Afterthoughts, at theafterpod.transistor.fm or anywhere you get your podcasts!

Frequent guest Sharon Horwatt acts as co-host and expert this week as she helps Brendan navigate his way through the terribly misbegotten musical, Dear Evan Hansen.

“The Fugitive” RevisitedA one-armed man wreaks havoc on the life of Dr. Richard Kimble in the 1993 film, The Fugitive. Based on the 1960s TV series, the movie pulled out all the cinematic stops and became a runaway hit, making nearly $370 million at the box office. The Academy soon followed, garnering the Harrison Ford flick with several Oscar nominations and a win for Tommy Lee Jones. But now, decades later, is this cat-and-mouse thriller a little cheesy? Does Dr. Kimble have the worst lawyer in film history? And why does U.S. Marshal Gerard (Jones) look so darn adorable in an old winter hat?

Ben and Rob conclude their journey through Panem with The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part Two, directed by Francis Lawrence and starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Donald Sutherland. What begins as one final YA franchise finale slowly mutates into something far stranger; a conversation about propaganda, blockbuster filmmaking, dead children, sewer monsters, wigs, merchandising, oligarchs, trauma, rebellion branding, and whether Suzanne Collins may have quietly pulled off one of the most outrageous sleight-of-hand tricks ever hidden inside a studio franchise.Why does Donald Sutherland feel like he's acting in an entirely different film from everybody else? Why does this franchise keep accidentally becoming more relevant every single year? Is Gale the most terrifying character in the entire series? And what if Mockingjay Part Two is not just a blockbuster about propaganda… but something far more clever?

"I need a doctor. Know of any, Mrs. Mott?" We watched "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle" with our friend Chris Gallo, and you'll have to excuse us while we take down this wind chime. This movie is firing on all cylinders from jump, and we were caught off guard more than a couple of times with some of the twists and turns. Rebecca De Mornay slays (literally) as the revenge-seeking "nanny from hell" unleashed upon the unsuspecting Bartel family. Annabella Sciorra plays asthmatic new mom Claire Bartel with a nervous energy that we're still trying to reconcile, and Julianne Moore eats up every scene as '90s businesswoman Marlene Craven. Ernie Hudson is doing the best he can with a role that would never be in a film these days, and Matt McCoy is there as Claire's husband, but this film is really about the women. Maybe the scorned woman trope is well-worn territory, but De Mornay, Sciorra, and Moore are just so much fun to watch in this soapy psychological drama. We thought we'd seen everything at that movies until Rebecca De Mornay sashayed across that playground and showed that (child) bully who's boss.

In this episode, Alex Stolz speaks with Jeff Rivera, three-time Telly Award winner, author, producer and AI storytelling pioneer, about creator-driven, AI-enabled production. Jeff shares his journey from developing projects within the traditional Hollywood system to experimenting with new AI-assisted workflows that allow creators to move from idea to execution faster than ever before. From worldbuilding and character design to animation pipelines and audience development, he offers a detailed look at how he is building and testing projects outside of the traditional development model. The conversation dives deep into the practical realities of working with AI today: the tools Jeff is using, how much these workflows actually cost, the progress being made around character consistency, and why storytelling remains the true differentiator in an age where production capabilities are becoming increasingly accessible. Alex and Jeff also explore the bigger strategic questions emerging around creator ownership, audience-building, monetisation, copyright and chain of title, as well as what happens when anyone can potentially create studio-quality work from a laptop. Jeff also shares practical strategies for building your '1,000 true fans' and ways in which he is monetising his work. At its heart, this is a conversation about creative agency, emerging workflows, and how creators can navigate a landscape where the barriers to making work are rapidly changing - but where the need for meaningful stories remains.

This week we continue our Paul Thomas Anderseason with his San Fernando Valley epic, Boogie Nights. We talk about the inception of this film as a short, then later as a long ass script that had Hollywood abuzz. We also discuss the real-life influences for the film and the porn scene of the 70s and 80s. After we discuss the background, we dive into the film itself and talk about everything we love about the film. Finally, we end the episode with a pair of double bills for your viewing pleasure. Thank you so much for listening!Support us at Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/DoubleBillChillCreated by Spike Alkire & Jake KelleyTheme Song by Breck McGoughFollow us on Instagram: @DoubleBillChillLetterboxd: FartsDomino44

Moviewallas is on YouTube! Welcome back to Moviewallas, your weekly dose of film reviews, movie news, and general banter – in theatres, on streaming, or in the back of an airplane. This week, Joe, Rashmi, and Yazdi take on two very different movies: the darkly comedic How to Make a Killing and the hugely anticipated, surprisingly emotional Project Hail Mary. Tea check: No new snacks this time – just a fresh round of tea, a little British supermarket hierarchy, and enough energy to power one very enthusiastic space-movie conversation. ⸻ Streaming Picks – “I Can't Find Anything to Watch…” Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model – Netflix Rashmi revisits the world of America's Next Top Model through this docuseries, and the group reflects on how wildly our perspective on reality TV, exploitation, and “empowerment” has changed over the last 20 years. Crazy, Stupid, Love – Netflix Yazdi goes with this slick, star-packed romantic dramedy starring Ryan Gosling, Steve Carell, Emma Stone, Julianne Moore, Marisa Tomei, Kevin Bacon, and Josh Groban. Contrived? Sure. Still a fun watch? Also yes. Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man – Netflix (coming March 20) Joe makes a rare future-facing pick, getting excited for the return of Tommy Shelby and the Peaky Blinders universe. Here's hoping the movie has a story worthy of the comeback. How to Make a Killing John Patton Ford follows up Emily the Criminal with this dark comedy about inheritance, murder, and family dysfunction. Starring Glen Powell, Margaret Qualley, and Ed Harris, the film gave the hosts plenty to chew on. Project Hail Mary This one gets a full-throated reaction. Based on the Andy Weir novel and directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, Project Hail Mary stars Ryan Gosling as a man waking up alone on a spaceship with Earth's future in his hands. Joe and Yazdi came in with serious affection for the book – and plenty of fear about how hard it would be to adapt – while Rashmi went in fresh. The result? A big, emotional, funny, visually inventive sci-fi movie that gave all three hosts a lot to talk about. ⸻ Like, comment, and subscribe if you enjoy spoiler-light movie conversations with strong opinions, good humor, and the occasional tea-fueled tangent.

Dodsworth is the feature attraction in this 728th talk on Have You Ever Seen, but then there was an unexpected 2nd review in this episode. I spent 10 or 12 minutes on the George Arliss 1929 Oscar-winner, Disraeli…the one about the late-1800s British Prime Minister's quest to buy the Suez Canel. As for Dodsworth, we've got another winner from William Wyler, who directs Walter Huston & Ruth Chatterton as a middle-aged couple who just aren't clicking anymore. He retires and they vacation in Europe, but that love just might be gone. So ditch Zenith for exotic European locales (or maybe even for Egypt) as I present monologues about Dodsworth and Disraeli. Well, Actually: just to be clear, an actor CAN get nominated for Oscars in the leading AND supporting categories in the modern era (as Al Pacino, Julianne Moore and Jamie Foxx have), but can't get 2 noms in the same category the way Arliss did back when Disraeli was made.

In addition, we reflect on director Ridley Scott's visionary approach with Hannibal and how the source material and screenplay by David Mamet and Steven Zaillian created a much different beast from its predecessor. We revisit the performances of Julianne Moore as Clarice Starling, Gary Oldman as the grotesque Mason Verger, and Ray Liotta as the corrupt Paul Krendler, alongside returning stars Anthony Hopkins and Frankie R. Faison. Explore the darker themes and intricate character dynamics that define a much different chapter in the Hannibal Lecter saga compared to the first movie and how they measure up side by side on their respective milestone anniversaries.Where To Watch The Silence of the LambsWhere To Watch Hannibal

Recent reporting in The New Yorker examines how schools, teachers and students in Minneapolis are being impacted by the recent actions of federal immigration enforcement agents. But conversations about how to navigate ICE's presence on and around school property are taking place among educators around the country. The Trump administration has also defended certain enforcement actions in court, leading to an uncommonly poetic court ruling lambasting ICE practices that circumvent judicial oversight. Join WNYC and Theater Of War for a series of programs hosted by Kai Wright and TOW artistic director Bryan Doerries that re-imagine works of journalism in innovative and engaging ways, including performances by acclaimed actors. Today's installment features Sam Waterston, Julianne Moore and Daphne Rubin-Vega performing The New Yorker's reporting, and the judicial ruling. 

Hosts Justin and Chuck revisit Boogie Nights, Paul Thomas Anderson's 1997 breakout, a disco-charged epic of ambition, excess, ego, and collapse. They step back into the sun-soaked 1970s porn boom, into the orbit of Jack Horner, Dirk Diggler, and a makeshift family chasing fame, validation, and the next high. Along the way, they spotlight the film's powerhouse ensemble, Burt Reynolds, Mark Wahlberg, Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Don Cheadle, John C. Reilly, each performance balancing swagger, insecurity, comedy, and heartbreak. From roaming long takes and explosive party sequences to needle-drop highs, mixtape moods, and the tonal crash into the 1980s, they unpack PTA's filmmaking choices while digging into the rise-and-fall arc, the pull of chosen family, the spiral of addiction, and the reason the film still resonates nearly three decades later.

Boogie Nights 1997 Review: 200 episodes in, and Born to Watch hits a milestone with a film that feels weirdly, uncomfortably autobiographical.From the moment Whitey declares this the perfect way to celebrate the show's 200th episode, it's clear this isn't just another movie review. Boogie Nights is loud, chaotic, hilarious, messy, strangely heartfelt and absolutely stacked with characters who think they're on top of the world until reality comes crashing in. In other words, it's the ideal Born to Watch film.Set against the late-70s and early-80s adult film industry, Paul Thomas Anderson's second feature is a sprawling ensemble piece that follows the rise and fall of Eddie Adams, reborn as Dirk Diggler. Mark Wahlberg's breakout performance anchors the film, but this is never just Dirk's story. It's about a group of outsiders who form a surrogate family, chasing success, validation and meaning, until excess, ego and changing times pull them apart.The boys dig into the idea that Boogie Nights is really two films stitched together, the euphoric disco-soaked rise of the 70s, followed by the darker, cocaine-fuelled collapse of the 80s. It's a tonal shift that mirrors the characters' journeys, from optimism and community to paranoia, loneliness and self-destruction. When Little Bill exits the film, everything changes, and the show explores how that moment symbolises the end of innocence for the entire group.There's plenty of love for the ensemble cast. Burt Reynolds' Jack Horner is discussed as both mentor and flawed father figure, a man clinging to an artistic vision while the industry evolves without him. Julianne Moore's Amber Waves is heartbreaking and layered, especially when the conversation turns to her custody battle and the illusion of freedom within the industry. John C Reilly, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Don Cheadle, Heather Graham and William H Macy all get their flowers, with Hoffman's painfully awkward Scotty and Macy's tragic Little Bill standing out as performances that linger long after the credits roll.As always, the Born to Watch humour cuts through the heavy themes. There's banter, self-reflection, side-tracking, and more than a few laughs at the absurdity of certain scenes, including the legendary Alfred Molina drug-deal sequence, which the team agrees is one of the most anxiety-inducing moments PTA has ever put on screen.The episode also looks at Boogie Nights in context, how it landed in 1997 alongside juggernauts like Titanic and LA Confidential, why it underperformed at the box office, and how it grew into a cult classic that feels even richer with repeat viewings. It's a film you can dip in and out of, catch individual scenes, and still be completely absorbed.Ultimately, this Boogie Nights 1997 Review becomes a celebration, not just of the film, but of the journey Born to Watch has been on for 200 episodes. It's messy, honest, occasionally inappropriate, and full of love for movies that take big swings.And really, what better way to celebrate than strapping on the roller skates and heading back to the Valley?BORN TO WATCH – JOIN THE CONVERSATIONIs Boogie Nights Paul Thomas Anderson's most rewatchable film?Does the movie completely change once the 80s arrive?Which character hits hardest on a rewatch?Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or at BornToWatch.com.au#BornToWatch #BoogieNights #PTA #MoviePodcast #FilmDiscussion #CultCinema #1990sMovies #MovieReview #PodcastLife #200Episodes

I've been covering Amanda Seyfried's work consistently since starting my career — particularly starting the best part of my career, focusing on interviews. In fact, one of my very first press days was for Atom Egoyan's Chloe, which Seyfried headlines alongside Julianne Moore. With every press day that followed, I was constantly struck by Seyfried's general warmth and her passion for her work, but especially by her openness while talking about it. About 25 years into her career, I'm still wowed by those same qualities, but a new one surfaced during our latest conversation, our very first Collider Ladies Night interview. It's the importance Seyfried puts on being there for actors on the rise, like her The Housemaid co-star, Sydney Sweeney.The two star in the highly anticipated adaptation of Freida McFadden's incredibly popular novel. Sweeney plays Millie, a young woman who accepts a job working as a housemaid for Seyfried's character, Nina Winchester, and her family. Initially, it seems like a dream gig. The Winchester home is beautiful and Nina appears to be a lovely employer. However, on day one of the job, things take a turn. Or rather, Nina takes a turn.In celebration of The Housemaid's release this weekend, and The Testament of Ann Lee's upcoming rollout, Seyfried joined me for a Collider Ladies Night conversation to discuss the experiences that led her to this moment — a truly exceptional moment during which she has two wildly different films hitting theaters at about the same time, both featuring breathtaking work from her.
