Adam discusses Jay Kelly, Noah Baumbach's latest film for Netflix starring George Clooney, Adam Sandler, and Laura Dern.
Yep, we're back with another look at a sappy Netflix Awards Season movie--and it's a vanity project about movie stars, no less! Or is there far more to Jay Kelly than one might think?George Clooney stars as the titular alliterative doppelganger, a mega-successful Hollywood actor facing an identity crisis on the eve of a career tribute in Tuscany. His harried manager (Adam Sandler) and publicist (Laura Dern) can't keep up with Jay's erratic behavior and ramblings about memories that have somehow bled into his waking hours. Add to that two estranged daughters and a life lived as other people, and you have the perfect Noah Baumbach (While We're Young, Marriage Story) film.Join us for a look at a spoilerific look at a surprisingly introspective film, and take your questions, comments, and SuperChats!Oh, and because the studio that's distributing Jay Kelly happens to be Netflix, we may devote some time catching up on the flurry of recent news!Support Kicking the Seat on Patreon, subscribe to us on YouTube, and follow us at:XLetterboxdInstagramFacebookShow LinksWatch the Jay Kelly (2025) trailer.Support all of Earth's Mightiest Critics at their various outlets:Keep up with Jeff York's criticism and caricatures at The Establishing Shot and Pipeline Artists.Check out Mark "The Movie Man" Krawczyk's The Spoiler Room Podcast.Get seated with The Blonde in Front!Follow David Fowlie's film criticism at Keeping It Reel.Get educated with Don Shanahan at Every Movie Has a Lesson…...And Film Obsessive...and the Cinephile Hissy Fit Podcast.Keep up with Annie Banks at The Mary Sue....and We Got This Covered.Make Nice with Mike Crowley of You'll Probably Agree.And save your celluloid soul with Dave Canfield's Substack, "Creature Feature Preacher".
“Jay Kelly” (2025), el último film de Noah Baumbach con George Clooney como un astro de Hollywood en plena crisis existencial y Adam Sandler como su leal pero exhausto manager Ron, es una comedia dramática que navega con gracia entre la sátira al mundo del espectáculo y una melancolía sutil sobre los costos de la fama. Clooney, en un rol que parece un eco autobiográfico, despliega una vulnerabilidad desarmante al interpretar a Jay, un tipo carismático pero desconectado de su familia y amigos, mientras viaja por Europa en busca de redención; Sandler, por su parte, roba el show con una actuación multicapa, llena de resentimiento contenido y ternura, que podría finalmente ganarle esa nominación al Oscar que tanto merece. La película brilla en sus diálogos afilados y en momentos de humor agridulce, como las interacciones codependientes entre Jay y Ron, pero se tambalea un poco en su ritmo desigual y en un guion que a veces prioriza el ensamble estelar (con Laura Dern y Emily Mortimer en roles secundarios impecables) sobre una profundidad emocional más cruda. Al final, “Jay Kelly” no revoluciona el género, pero deja un regusto agridulce y reflexivo, recordándonos que incluso las estrellas tienen fantasmas, y que Baumbach sigue siendo un maestro en diseccionar el alma de los privilegiados con una sonrisa irónica.
In Netflix's Jay Kelly, George Clooney plays the aging movie star Jay Kelly. His longtime manager (Adam Sander) and publicist (Laura Dern) struggle to manage Jay on a trip through Europe as he deals with the difficult relationship he has with his two grown daughters. From director and co-writer Noah Baumbach, the film is an exploration of regret and missed opportunities.Follow Pop Culture Happy Hour on Letterboxd at letterboxd.com/nprpopcultureLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

An incredibly random mix of movies this week, but hopefully we have a little something for everyone here at Breakfast All Day. Think of it as a Thanksgiving buffet for your ears: WICKED: FOR GOOD: We do not agree at all on the second half of "Wicked," based on the Broadway musical. But we wanted to review it as early as we could, so here we are, putting one foot in front of the other on the Yellow Brick Road. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande co-star. In theaters Nov. 21. KEEPER (NO Spoilers!): The latest nightmare fuel from Osgood Perkins has been in theaters for a few days, so we wanted to catch up with it. The less you know the better, so this is a spoiler-free review, but we're thinking of doing a spoiler livestream, so we'll keep you posted on that. Tatiana Maslany is awesome in this. JAY KELLY: George Clooney IS George Clooney in this affectionate drama from director and co-writer Noah Baumbach. He plays a legendary Hollywood star who's forced to reconsider his life and legacy. Adam Sandler, Laura Dern, Billy Crudup and Riley Keough are among the incredible supporting cast. In select theaters now, streaming on Netflix Dec. 5.

This week, Film Comment Editors Devika Girish and Clinton Krute sit down with writer-director Noah Baumbach, whose new feature, Jay Kelly, is in select theaters now. The movie stars George Clooney as an aging Hollywood star reckoning with the choices he's made on his way to the top. The action unfolds on a trip Jay takes to a tribute to his career in Tuscany, trailed by an entourage of handlers (played by Adam Sandler, Laura Dern, and others), and haunted by his missteps as a friend, lover, and parent. Jay Kelly blends Fellini-esque memory theater, a screwball-inspired train journey, and a self-reflexive contemplation on the world of filmmaking to arrive at something universal; as Noah says in our conversation, the theme at the heart of the film is one that has animated many of his works: coming to terms with an irretrievable past. We also talked about his remarkable casting choices, how he and his crew built sets to facilitate the dreamlike flashback sequences without the use of CGI, and much more.

50 years ago next week, Patti Smith released her debut album, ‘Horses,' ushering in a new era of rock and roll. We're listening back to portions of our interviews with Smith, from 1996 and 2010. She talks about her early days in New York City, when she was trying to find her way as a poet, performer and later songwriter. When it came to ‘Horses,' she says, “I thought I would do this record and then go back to my writing and my drawing and return to my somewhat abnormal normal life. But ‘Horses' took me on a whole different path.” And Ken Tucker reviews the new anniversary edition of the album. Also, we remember actress Diane Ladd in an excerpt of an interview with her daughter, Laura Dern.

This week we're excited to present a special conversation from the 63rd New York Film Festival between filmmakers Joachim Trier and Noah Baumbach, moderated by Film at Lincoln Center programmer Maddie Whittle. This Talk is sponsored by Deadline. NYFF veterans Noah Baumbach and Joachim Trier returned to the festival this year with a pair of films that explore how artistry, authenticity, and artifice collide in the public and private lives of star actors and famed filmmakers. In Baumbach's charmingly reflexive Jay Kelly, an aging megastar—played, fittingly, by George Clooney—arrives at a crisis point in his career; haunted by the past and uninspired by the present, he embarks on a somewhat reckless screwball adventure with his entourage (featuring Adam Sandler and Laura Dern) in tow. Meanwhile, Trier's Sentimental Value finds an acclaimed stage actress (Renate Reinsve) and her estranged movie-director father (Stellan Skarsgård) clashing, connecting, and introspecting over a film project that draws from their complicated lives. Dramatizing the dimensions of modern-day, larger-than-life celebrity with deft humor, both films hone in on the relationships—familial, professional, transactional—that undergird the creative process and industrial artmaking. Baumbach and Trier joined NYFF63 for a lively, probing discussion of their approaches to writing grounded, lived-in characters, and the collaborations that have shaped their own illustrious bodies of work. The 63rd New York Film Festival is presented in partnership with Rolex.
The hilarious Jake Johnson, co-host of the We're Here To Help podcast and Peter Parker in the Spider-Verse films, joins Paul and Jason to cover Grizzly II: Revenge—a "horror" movie featuring George Clooney, Laura Dern, and Charlie Sheen that was filmed in 1983 and finally released in 2020 with a bunch of modern b-roll. They discuss all the concert footage, John Rhys-Davies' amazingly uncomfortable portrayal of Bouchard, the poachers who only want money and boners, the weird daddy/daughter vibes, and—wait... enough about the movie!
