The Annapolis Film Festival opens on Thursday, April 4th, and will run through April 7th. It features over 70 films, panels, coffee chats, and parties throughout Annapolis. We had the opportunity to hop on the phone with Dane Clark and Linsey Stewart, the directors, for a Spotlight Film screening at the festival—Suze! Suze | April 6, 2024 | 7:00 PM | St. John's College - Key Auditorium When her only child goes off to college, an empty-nest mother gets stuck taking care of her daughter's heartbroken ex-boyfriend, whom she can't stand (especially when he calls her Sooooze). SNL alum Michaela Watkins shines in the role of “Suze,” a perimenopausal, post-matrimonial woman whose mid-life is stagnating until she discovers a renewed sense of purpose in the most unlikely person. “Gage” (amusingly portrayed by Charlie Gillespie) plays in a rock band called The Emotional Morons and his life is going nowhere. In the grand tradition of other such warm-hearted dramedies about lovably flawed people like The Savages and The Skeleton Twins, this film is an emotionally satisfying story with amusingly relatable dialogue and empathetic performances that perfectly capture the humor in human behavior. (Canada, 2023, 93 min, Comedy/Drama) Tickets and passes are on sale now for the 12th Annual Annapolis Film Festival. Have a listen!
Bill Hader, Kristen Wiig, Ty Burrell! They are funny actors, but for this week's movie, The Skeleton Twins, they bust out their drama chops. Wade and Amanda discuss the amazing chemistry Wiig and Hader have with each other, and of course touch on the very difficult subjects this movie explores. You should watch it because it is very good, but TRIGGER WARNING: the movie, and hence this podcast episode, delves into the difficult subjects of depression and suicide. If you are sensitive to these subjects, skip to next week's episode.

We kick off November with some family dysfunction. This week Sara and Kim dive in to some comedy mixed with tragedy. There will be talk of bodily functions, scrumptious pate, golden retrievers in human form, and...teeth?
Actor, director, and showrunner Bill Hader (BARRY, INSIDE OUT, THE SKELETON TWINS) joins Team Deakins to discuss his multi-faceted career in one of our funnier conversations. Reared in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Bill describes how he first rode into town despite an early setback being rejected from film school for being “too entertaining.” We later drive down memory lane as Bill recounts several exciting but terrifying stories of PA'ing on low-budget films around LA—stops include a seven camera setup (all pointed at a map), watching us wrap early on THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE (with envy), and learning what a controlled burn is (and maybe isn't). Bill also shares his experience co-showrunning BARRY with Alec Berg, a discussion ranging in topics from “what is a tone meeting?” to which takes actor Henry Winkler consistently nails his performance. At the end, Bill discusses his post-BARRY aspirations and the longevity of classic films that, despite their imperfections, stand tall today on the merits of their craft. - This episode is sponsored by Dallas Film Commission Instagram: @dallasfilmcommission

Identity Thief was released 10 years ago but if feels like yesterday that we watched Jason Bateman, the original Sandy Patterson, chase down Melissa McCarthy's Sandy Patterson to clear his name. Seth Gordon directs this Craig Main and Jerry Eetten written hilarious film about Identity theft. Rounding out the cast is John Cho, Amanda Peet and Jon Favreau as a very jerky boss. Robert Patrick is a skip tracer trying to find Dawn Budgie, AKA Melissa McCarthy, thus chasing the two of them and Eric Stonestreet is a hilarious side character.

Craig Johnson, the director of films including Alex Strangelove for Netflix, The Skeleton Twins (starring Bill Hader and Kristin Wiig), and Wilson (starring Woody Harrelson, Judy Greer and Laura Dern), discusses his approach to the directing craft: "Your job is making every person that you're working with feel like their job is the most important on set." 00:00 - Introductions02:24 - Pre-production15:30 - Production38:30 - Post-productionYou can also check out the video of the interview on Youtube: https://youtu.be/C7P46X7xdMg
When I say DEPRESSIVE, you say EPISODE! DEPRESSIVE! (…..this is your part) Get it? Because this episode is on depression? How many people deal with depression on a daily basis but because they are able to get out of bed and function, they are deemed “fine”? What are the different symptoms of depression, can you be “cured,” and how hard is it to find the right therapist or medication? Are you out of spoons or are your neurons just napping? Join LJ and Di (and Jack) as they chat through this and more using Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader's indie angel, The Skeleton Twins.
Little Miss Sunshine shows us that nothing brings a family together like a good old fashion striptease, while The Skeleton Twins suggests that suicide is hereditary - but not the results, and guess What We Did On Our Holiday, hint: it was lit.

Will Noonan is back on the show, after some big gigs with Schulz and Attell and the launch of his new podcast ‘Soft Boys', to joke around before the release of his new movie ‘Salesmen' on Episode 104.
CONTENT WARNING: Suicide Mention/Self-Harm, Child Abuse. This week we watched The Skeleton Twins starring Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader. It was definitely a different type of movie than we normally watch, but find out what we thought!
My guest this week is Craig Johnson — director of the movies Skeleton Twins and Alex Strangelove, among many other projects. His creative interests straddle two very different worlds: Troubled suburban families, and weird creepy monsters … which maybe aren't so different after all. Fortunately, he gets to explore those topics on screen — thanks to a phone call many years ago that changed his life forever.We'll have that conversation in a minute. First — a reminder that I've been posting lots of fun videos about queer pop culture history over on my YouTube — I just released a new one about the gayest week in television history. And you can also head over to Patreon to see even more bonus videos.Also check out my cute little newsletter where I share sneak peeks at what I'm working on at mattbaume.com.Also a big thanks to everyone who supports the Sewers of Paris on Patreon. And to everyone who's reviewed it on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen.
We Talk About: Alex's career path Starting your own production company Working in a male-dominated industry How to work through hard times Alex's daily workflow Having appropriate expectations of your employees Rolling with the punches Resources: pagefiftyfour.com Follow Alex: @alexsaks Follow Alli: @alliwebb Follow Lori: @loriharder Follow Brittany: @britdrisc Show Notes: Alex Saks makes movies happen. She's the principal of Page Fifty-Four Pictures, a filmmaker-driven, independent production company. Despite grabbing drinks with the likes of Diane Keaton, she's one of the most down-to-earth and hard working girls out there. She's been honored by Variety and the Hollywood Reporter as a person to watch. She talks about what it's like to build a career in a male-dominated industry, learn the imperativeness of hustle, and be your own boss. Question Highlights: What led you to where you are today? What have been some of the challenges as a woman in this industry? What are some of the tools you use to get through hard times? How has the pandemic impacted you? Do you do anything consistently that sets you up for success? Guest Bio: Alex Saks is the principal of Page Fifty-Four Pictures, a filmmaker-driven, independent production company created in 2017 which produces and finances feature films. Ms. Saks has produced fifteen films in the past five years. Her most recent films include: Red Rocket, directed by Sean Baker (and to be released by A24), Charlie Day's directorial debut El Tonto (starring Kate Beckinsale, Jason Sudeikis, Ken Jeong, Edie Falco, Common, and John Malkovich), and Shoot the Rooster (starring Margo Martindale, Ann Dowd, Judy Greer, and Henry Winkler), directed by Stephanie Laing. In 2020, Ms. Saks' film, The Glorias, (directed by Julie Taymor, based on Gloria Steinem's best-selling autobiography, My Life on the Road, and starring Julianne Moore, Alicia Vikander, Timothy Hutton, Janelle Monáe, Bette Midler, and Lorraine Toussaint), premiered at The Sundance Film Festival and, later that year, on Amazon Prime. Saks' film, Chemical Hearts, (starring Lili Reinhart and Austin Abrams, directed by Rich Tanne) also premiered on Amazon Prime in 2020. In 2018, Ms. Saks produced Paul Dano's directorial debut, Wildlife (starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Carey Mulligan), which made its world premiere at Sundance followed by screenings at Cannes, Toronto, and The New York Film Festival. Wildlife was acquired and released by IFC Films to immense critical praise. That same year, Paramount Pictures released Saks' summer blockbuster hit, Book Club, starring Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Candace Bergen and Mary Steenburgen. The film grossed more than 100 million worldwide. In 2017, Ms. Saks' film, The Florida Project, made its world premiere at Cannes to unanimous critical acclaim and was acquired by A24. Written and directed by Sean Baker and starring Willem Dafoe, the film earned honors and wins from The AFI, The National Board of Review, The Critics' Choice Awards, and over 40 critics groups nationwide. The Florida Project also garnered nominations for the Golden Globes, BAFTAs, Spirit Awards, Gotham Awards, the SAG-AFTRA Awards, and the Oscars. Her other credits include: Thoroughbreds (the psychological thriller written and directed by Cory Finley, starring Olivia Cooke, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Anton Yelchin, and released by Focus Features), POMS (directed by Zara Hayes, starring Diane Keaton, Jacki Weaver, Pam Grier, Celia Weston, and Rhea Perlman, and wide-released theatrically by STX), Dude (the dramatic comedy written and directed by Olivia Milch, starring Lucy Hale, Kathryn Prescott, Alexandra Shipp, and Awkwafina, and released by Netflix), Fun Mom Dinner (the comedy directed by Alethea Jones, starring Toni Collette, Molly Shannon, Bridget Everett, and Kate Aselton, and which sold to Netflix and eOne's Momentum Pictures), Joshua: Teenager vs. Superpower (the documentary which won the 2017 Sundance Film Festival Audience Award in the World Cinema Documentary category before selling to Netflix), and What They Had (the drama written and directed by Elizabeth Chomko, starring Hilary Swank, Michael Shannon, and Blythe Danner, and released by Bleecker Street). In 2017, Saks was honored by both Variety in its annual “10 Producers to Watch” and The Hollywood Reporter on its “Next Gen: Hollywood's Up-and-Coming Execs 35 and Under” lists. She then went on to be recognized by Town & Country magazine as one of its 2018 “50 Modern Swans.” She is an annual guest at Marie Claire's Power Trip for women at the top of their given fields. Prior to her producing career, she served as an agent at ICM, where her work in the independent and international group revolved around the packaging, financing, and selling of independent films including: Tallulah, Results, The Intervention, Time Out of Mind, Sandcastle, The Overnight, Skeleton Twins, The One I Love, Infinitely Polar Bear, Stockholm, Pennsylvania, and People, Places, Things. She began her career at The Mark Gordon Company, before working at Automatik and IM Global under Brian Kavanaugh-Jones as a creative and production executive. Ms. Saks is a graduate of Wake Forest University where she received her degree in History
This week, Thomas is BACK! and The TV Boys are ready to sit down to talk about one of the funniest men on TV. The one and only Bill Hader
Three very accomplished producers of THE SKELETON TWINS, Jared Goldman (PALMER, THE DEVIL ALL THE TIME), Stephanie Langhoff (SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED) and Jennifer Lee (also an editor, she edited this film and has edited on RAMY), had a mini-reunion on the show. Much as the film is a loving celebration of family, it's clear that making the film was a family affair, in terms of how close the cast and crew were. Kristin Wiig and Bill Hader make this maybe the best movie about brothers and sisters ever. One of my favorite interviews ever on the podcast. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dan-benamor/support
Today’s guest embodies what it means to be a versatile and creative storyteller. Actor, writer, and producer, Kathleen Rose Perkins, has had an expansive career that has led her to varied roles in both comedy and drama in the world of film and television. Today, she walks us through the lulls as well as the highs of her journey starting from what she learned doing background work in Los Angeles, to what it was like to be fired from a job...more than once, to taking creative control of her career and writing the stories that she wants to tell without having to rely on anyone else to do it for her. Kathleen knows what it’s like to struggle to find representation that feels like a good fit. Early on, she felt the urge to give up when only receiving a few auditions a year. Now, having found a manager that’s been with her from the start, she emphasizes how important it is to communicate with your reps about exactly what it is you want out of your career. Over the years, she’s appeared in over 70 projects including Netflix’s I Am Not Okay with This , Showtime’s Episodes , NCIS: Los Angeles , ABC’s Fresh Off the Boat , USA’s Colony , and films such as The Skeleton Twins opposite Kristen Wiig, Gone Girl opposite Ben Affleck, and many more. Today, she shares her wisdom and knowledge about how she works through audition anxiety, her methods for preparing for a big emotional scene, and most of all, how she makes sure she’s always busy working.

As a high school kid growing up in Oklahoma, Bill Hader received a progress report from his French teacher that had remarkable foresight: “Bill is very funny in class. He’ll probably be on Saturday Night Live one day. He has a 37% in class though. He will not be speaking French.” Bill had a natural gift for doing voices and impressions, and years later, he would indeed join SNL. For eight years, he brought memorable characters to life, including fan-favorites like his exasperated Vincent Price, the lecherous Italian Vinny Veducci, and Weekend Update correspondent Stefon. As one of the most talented cast members on the show, it’s hard to believe Bill when he tells me that it was never his dream to be on Saturday Night Live. After his eight-year stint on SNL and roles in a number of films (The Skeleton Twins, Trainwreck, Inside Out), Bill’s finally realizing his dream with Barry, his upcoming HBO show about a hitman who really wants to be an actor. Bill directs, writes, and stars in the show, and because he favors truthfulness over funny gags, it’s one of the most unique shows on television: “In comedy, it’s so easy to come up with gags and little bits. It’s a lot harder to make a person’s emotional journey make sense.” Bill Hader joins Off Camera to discuss storytelling in Barry, struggling with anxiety on SNL, why he waited so long to pursue his dream to become a filmmaker, and why everyone in town thought he was on drugs in high school.

The new decade begins as any new year on Hey, an Actor! begins, with a comedic actor. Namely Kristen Wiig. The Brothers Wilson step up to the task of examining the highly controversial version of Ghostbusters (2016), before settling into the more standard fare of Wiig's cinematic breakthrough of Bridesmaids, and her more dramatic turn against SNL co-star Bill Hader in The Skeleton Twins. The hosts also use their time to discuss graphic alternative methods of vasectomy, confiscated toys, and obscure UK puppet show Bug Alert.

The Skeleton Twins would have already been a great film thanks to the script from Mark Heyman and director Craig Johnson, but it's accentuated by the indelible mark that Reed Morano leaves on it with her emotionally evocative camerawork and lighting.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot...but remember your pop culture favorites of 2019.
