1K: The 1,000 Second Interview Podcast

Sean O’Connell is a film critic whose reviews have appeared in the Washington Post, USA Today and many other national outlets. He's now the managing director for CinemaBlend and co-host of the ReelBlend podcast.   He's a self-described “story-telling junkie,” who grew up watching movies on VHS tapes he borrowed from a benevolent video store manager. That arrangement brought Sean joy and cultivated an impressive breadth of film knowledge. 1,000 seconds has never felt shorter, despite the fact we both talk fast.    Podcast highlights include a revealing story about the dazzling, but disingenuous charm of one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, the authenticity of writer/director John Hughes, awkward encounters with directors AFTER unflattering reviews, and an amazing occurrence in a London theater. There are also interesting talks about the film critiquing process, writing “real" dialogue, shifting distribution models, the fate of foreign films, important movie books, and a disagreement over the value of superhero films. One of us believes they are fun and relevant. The other believes they simply suck.

As a fan of brevity—exemplified by his affinity for Twitter and his concise interview segment 94 Feet—1,000 seconds might be too much for sportscaster Jay Bilas.

In a delightfully confusing move, our guest this week is none other than Scott Galloway. No, not the host of this podcast. The other Scott Galloway. Or is our Scott Galloway the other Scott Galloway?

Anyway, this episode features two Scott Galloways for the price of one.

You might recognize our guest as the NYU professor who replied to a rude student's complaint email with a legendary virtual tongue-lashing.

Drilling for Texas Tea turned out to be a bust for Tito Beveridge, but he struck the mother lode with a different type of liquid altogether, one more commonly associated with Russia than the American southwest: vodka. It's a story of perseverance, and today, twenty years later, Tito's Handmade Vodka is flying off the shelves. Host Scott Galloway also took the opportunity to honor our guest by taking three shots of the 80 proof, corn based liquor in the middle of the workday.
