(0mb)
Wed, 16 Jul 2008 10:30:00 EDT Author: podmaster@kcrw.org (Elvis Mitchell)What do you get when you bring Ben Kingsley, Method Man, Josh Peck and Mary-Kate Olsen together? Besides the dream episode of Access Hollywood, you get writer-director Jonathan Levine's first, film, The Wackness.
- Alex Gibney (0mb)
Wed, 09 Jul 2008 12:14:00 EDT Author: podmaster@kcrw.org (Elvis Mitchell)WEB EXCLUSIVE: 2008 has been quite a year for director Alex Gibney (Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room). Two documentaries he was involved with were nominated for Oscars, and his film, Taxi to the Dark Side, won. His new doc, Gonzo, takes us into the heart and soul of Hunter S. Thompson.
- Andrew Stanton (0mb)
Wed, 02 Jul 2008 10:30:00 EDT Author: podmaster@kcrw.org (Elvis Mitchell)Animated films have had many stars: animals, fish, toys, bugs, cars... WALL-E is the first with a lead with no face. It's a trash compactor. Is this the future of cartoons? We ask WALL-E director Andrew Stanton (A Bug's Life, Finding Nemo)
- David Hajdu (0mb)
Wed, 25 Jun 2008 11:00:00 EDT Author: podmaster@kcrw.org (Elvis Mitchell)In the 1930's and 40's, comic books were as popular as movies -- and more influential. So much so that serious steps were taken to stop them. Writer David Hajdu (Lush Life, A Biography of Billy Strayhorn, Positively 4th Street) examines this controversy in his new book, The Ten-Cent Plague, and illustrates it.
- Walter Mirisch (0mb)
Wed, 18 Jun 2008 10:53:00 EDT Author: podmaster@kcrw.org (Elvis Mitchell)Some Like It Hot, The Magnificent Seven, In the Heat of the Night, the original Pink Panther. If you're lucky, you've seen these films. Walter Mirisch produced them. I Thought We Were Making Movies, Not History is his new book.
- Michael Patrick King (0mb)
Wed, 11 Jun 2008 11:34:00 EDT Author: podmaster@kcrw.org (Elvis Mitchell)For writer-director Michael Patrick King (Will and Grace, Murphy Brown) every season of Sex in the City was about changing expectations, which means he had his work cut out for him with the Sex in the City movie. See if the shoe fits.
- Jay Roach (0mb)
Wed, 04 Jun 2008 10:36:00 EDT Author: podmaster@kcrw.org (Elvis Mitchell)What's crazier than Austin Powers or Meet the Fockers? The 2000 presidential vote count, perhaps. It's the subject of Jay Roach's new film, Recount. Count yourself in when Elvis Mitchell speaks with Roach.
- Henry Bean (0mb)
Wed, 28 May 2008 11:25:00 EDT Author: podmaster@kcrw.org (Elvis Mitchell)As a writer, Henry Bean is responsible for films about self-destructive protagonists who skirt justice in Deep Cover Internal Affairs. With his directorial debut, The Believer, he took that character one step further. Now with his newest film, Noise, he moves into the realm of fable. We discuss his holy war: the brain versus the heart.
- Doug Pray (0mb)
Wed, 21 May 2008 10:30:00 EDT Author: podmaster@kcrw.org (Elvis Mitchell)Documentary filmmaker Doug Pray manages to nose his way into outcast societies -- de facto families -- with his films. Hype, on the 90's Seattle music world, and Scratch on the DJ culture. His latest, Surfwise, is about the most exclusive family, father Dorian "Doc" Paskowitz, who turns his nine kids into champion surfers. It's all about tribal rights.
- Jon Favreau (0mb)
Wed, 14 May 2008 10:42:00 EDT Author: podmaster@kcrw.org (Elvis Mitchell)Jon Favreau understands power. As an actor, he broke through by writing a roll for himself in Swingers. Then he made the move behind the camera as the director of Zathura and Elf and, now, the box-office smash Iron Man.
