Podcast appearances and mentions of Leslye Headland

Gaby Iori returns as we revisit Leslye Headland's delightful comedy that has only grown stronger since its release within the extinction of romantic comedies.

Star Wars: The Acolyte was an unmitigated disaster for Disney and Lucasfilm, and the show was canceled almost immediately after its debut. Now one of its stars, Lee Jung-Jae, has said that his feelings were hurt by the backlash, which he claims was racist. “My feelings were hurt. Especially for Leslye Headland—her feelings must have hurt a lot….I can only have faith that racism will end someday…even though it's going to be hard”

Is it a dream? Is it about a dream? Is it a TV pilot? Is it the greatest film of the 21st century? In any case, Leslye Headland returns to the podcast to talk about David Lynch's endlessly fascinating 2001 masterpiece MULHOLLAND DR. We may not have all the answers, but we do have a lot of thoughts about Hollywood, about Billy Ray Cyrus, about actors being shoved down audiences' throats, about diners, about Patrick Fischler's eyebrows, about the diner owned by Patrick Fischler's dad, about Naomi Watts' friendship with Nicole Kidman, about Corky Romano…the list goes on.

[Encore episode] Russian Doll co-creator Leslye Headland joins Kate and Franklin for a wide, thoughtful take on all the things that excite her about movies and storytelling (Headland is also a playwright). She reflects on the origins of her love of film, including the many things her parents let her stay up to watch, or actors and movies they introduced her to. On the Kubrick film that inspired her to become a filmaker, she says: "I watched it almost every day. I just couldn't get enough of it. ...And I just thought, somehow I'm going to do this. Somehow I'm going to make this happen for myself. I don't know how but I'm going to do it." Plus: what it was like writing for the quirky FX drama Terriers, challenging the overwhelming white maleness of the cinematic canon (think: The Graduate, Taxi Driver) and so much more. Questions?

Leslye Headland created her own version of The Acolyte which didn't do very well overall, causing Disney to choose not to make a season 2 after it received the lowest finale views of any Disney Star Wars show. Even Plagueis and Yoda couldn't boost the show...Sadly. However... I believe if we got a show on Darth Zannah and Darth Bane, THE REAL ACOLYTE - fans would have wanted many more seasons.

The Disney+ series The Acolyte continues the saga of the Star Wars universe with a crime thriller. A former Jedi Padawan, Osha, reunites with her Jedi Master, Sol, to investigate a murder spree against their fellow Jedis. They uncover secrets from Osha's past and must fight the dark sides of the Force. Cinematographer Chris Teague has crafted stunning visuals for a variety of projects, from indie dramas like Obvious Child to critically acclaimed series like Russian Doll, GLOW, and Only Murders in the Building. He feels his style is constantly evolving. For the Star Wars series The Acolyte, Chris worked with saturated colors and key lighting, as though the illumination in many scenes was from a single source. He wanted to immerse viewers in the world of the series, without calling attention to the cinematography. When approaching a project, Chris delves into the script and references, often discovering new insights along the way. “As you're reading a script, as you're looking at references, you have these little epiphanies, these little discoveries, but they're always sort of partial discoveries,” Chris says. “And then hopefully, they evolve into something that's specific to the project itself. The joy of filmmaking is to collaborate and combine all the creativity into something that feels cohesive.” He believes that these discoveries gradually evolve into a style specific to the project. As the lead DP, Chris established the look of the show over 6 months of prep. He split the episodes with fellow cinematographer James Friend, and they tested cameras and lenses together. Friend's episodes took place in different locations so he was able to establish his own look for his episodes. For The Acolyte, Chris worked closely with the production designer to create sets that were both practical and visually stunning, with multiple angles for the camera to explore. He and showrunner/director Leslye Headland also embraced the challenge of shooting in real locations, selling the scale of the Star Wars universe without relying heavily on blue screen. They did not use a volume stage at all, wanting it to look as close to what director George Lucas would do, with a visual style that was powerful but not overbearing. Several of the scenes in episodes four and five were filmed on location in Madeira, an island off the coast of Africa. Madeira offered lots of wild beauty, with incredible views from craggy bluffs. They did face some weather challenges while shooting there, with sweeps of fog and cloud that rolled into a full whiteout at times. Beyond the visuals, Chris also focused on capturing the intricate stunt choreography and fight sequences in a way that would keep the audience engaged. His attention to detail ensured that these action-packed moments felt both exciting and integral to the storytelling. As a Star Wars fan, Chris was excited to be involved in The Acolyte. He says of the experience, “I can't believe I'm in this room right now watching this happen. It really feels like you're part of this creative process that people are going to fall in love with.” Find Chris Teague: http://www.teaguefilmworks.com/home Instagram: @_christeague Listen to our previous interview with Chris Teague on Only Murders in the Building. https://www.camnoir.com/ep174/ Sponsored by Hot Rod Cameras www.hotrodcameras.com The Cinematography Podcast website: www.camnoir.com Facebook: @cinepod Instagram: @thecinepod Twitter: @ShortEndz

BIG DRAMA! coming from Camp Disney AGAIN! In today's video, Kristian Harloff dives deep into the latest Star Wars controversy surrounding The Acolyte. The series, which has been divisive to say the least, was officially not renewed by Lucasfilm, sparking outrage and confusion among fans. Many are debating whether to call this a cancellation, but our own John Rocha had heard from his sources that The Acolyte was indeed going to be renewed before Disney reversed the decision. So, what happened with The Acolyte? Why was Star Wars: The Acolyte, which was created by Leslye Headland and featured Amandla Stenberg, abruptly stopped from moving forward with a second season? And what role did Kathleen Kennedy, Dave Filoni, and even George Lucas have in all of this? We'll break down all the latest Star Wars news, including reports from Jeff Sneider about the role Keanu Reeves could have played if things had gone differently. Plus, we touch on other big news from the entertainment world: The Crow bombs at the box office, the director's surprising response, Ultron's return, and why Quentin Tarantino won't watch Toy Story 4!

Is the cancellation of THE ACOLYTE a bad omen for the future of STAR WARS? Andres Cabrera joins DJ and Roxy to discuss the abrupt end of the divisive show. THE ACOLYTE, created by Leslye Headland and starring Amandla Stenberg, Lee Jung-jae, Manny Jacinto, Charlie Barnett, and Dafne Keen met significant backlash from the fandom, but was it warranted? Is there a future for STAR WARS beyond the Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal), Grogu, and Ahsoka (Rosario Dawson), and should we be worried for the cast of the SKELETON CREW?

Canceled! The Acolyte is canceled!!

Hey there, fellow Star Wars fan!  Are you feeling a bit let down by the latest Star Wars series? You're not alone, for sure.    Fr. Tim Grumbach recently shared some thoughts on why "Star Wars Acolyte" just doesn't hit the mark, especially when looking through a Catholic lens.   Lost Morality: Fr. Tim pointed out how the new series muddles the once-clear distinction between good and evil. Remember when the Jedi were the heroes and the Sith were the villains? Now, "Star Wars Acolyte" makes the Sith seem misunderstood, blurring the lines between right and wrong. This can be really confusing, especially when our faith teaches us to clearly distinguish good from evil.   Destruction of Fatherhood: Another messed up aspect Fr. Tim discussed is how the show portrays fatherhood. It features a daughter killing her father to gain personal freedom, which Leslye Headland, the show's creator, calls “liberation.” So sad.  This is a far cry from the redemptive father-son relationship between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, which reminded us of forgiveness and the possibility of redemption—central themes in Christianity. Can't we just go back to that?   Over-Sexualization: "Star Wars Acolyte" has been criticized for its overt sexual themes. The creator's background as Harvey Weinstein's assistant might have influenced this aspect, promoting a narrative that lacks the innocence and adventurous spirit of the original series.    Agenda-Driven Content: Both Timmerie and Fr. Tim lament how modern Star Wars content, especially under Disney, feels agenda-driven. Instead of focusing on storytelling, it seems to push specific ideologies, which takes away from the universal themes of heroism, sacrifice, and virtue that once made Star Wars great. This shift is reflected in the poor reception of the series, despite its huge budget. You'd expect nothing less from Disney, right?   Lack of Redemptive Arcs: The classic Star Wars stories are beloved for their redemptive arcs. Fr. Tim emphasizes how characters like Darth Vader showed the power of conversion and redemption. "Star Wars Acolyte," however, seems to celebrate the triumph of evil without any hope for redemption, leaving you with a sense of hopelessness and despair.   Don't you just miss the old Star Wars? The series strays far from the values that made it a cultural and moral beacon. As Catholics, there's a longing for stories that inspire, redeem, and uplift. Here's hoping future Star Wars ventures return to the path of light, bringing back the hope and heroism that once defined the galaxy far, far away.

Two sisters on opposite sides of the Force; one terrible trauma that sent them on those divergent paths... Set one hundred years before the Skywalker Saga that would define a galaxy, The Acolyte – Disney's newest Star Wars TV show – explores uncharted territory for the franchise in more ways than one. Not only have fans  never seen this era in Star Wars lore explored on-screen before; it's also a departure in just explicitly it explores the idea that the Jedi as an institution might be corruptible and flawed. For 47 years, since George Lucas' game-changing A New Hope, the Jedi have been held up as a noble band of guardians. This new series, from Russian Doll creator Leslye Headland, asks the question: what if there's more to that nobility than we've come to understand?In a spoiler-filled interview, recorded days after the show's finale, Leslye breaks down its major surprises, key scenes and crucial characters – explaining how Fight Club, Frozen and Kill Bill played a significant part in its conception...Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.
