Brian and Shelly discuss the films of Greta Gerwig including Frances Ha, Barbie and Little Women
Warning: This episode contains spoilers for Episode One of 'Little Women'. This is an encore release of an earlier podcast episode. Dame Angela Lansbury was an acting icon for more than 75 years. Her credits spanned from Gaslight, Mame, and Murder, She Wrote to Beauty and the Beast and Little Women. She died in October 2022, and left behind a rich legacy of characters that are as iconic and memorable as the actor herself. As PBS re-broadcasts MASTERPIECE's 2018 production of Little Women, we thought we'd revisit our 2018 conversation with her as she takes us through highlights of her prodigious career and reveals what she learned on the "Little Women" set.
On this episode, we continue our journey through comic book film, this week with SUPERMAN RETURNS.
Larushka Ivan-Zadeh and Mickey-Jo Boucher discuss A Mirror, a new play by Sam Holcroft about staging a drama in a country where state censorship controls the arts. It stars Trainspotting's Jonny Lee Miller. They'll also look at Charlotte Regan's film Scrapper about a young girl who is left living alone after her mother dies, then her father turns up. What happens next? Many will know Louis Garrel from his role as Professor Bhaer in Greta Gerwig's film Little Women but he is also an accomplished filmmaker in his own right. As his new film, The Innocent, opens in the UK, after multiple César Award nominations and wins for Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress, he discusses what it's like to move from writing, directing and starring in his own films to acting in films by other directors. 01:42 A Mirror Review 12:57 Louis Garrel Interview 28:55 Scrapper Review
