Bradley Cooper as director? Lady Gaga as a lead actress? A Star is Born raised a lot of eyebrows before its release, and then lowered them almost immediately by being an emotional gem of a film. But what makes the 2018 remake really special is how, if you peel back the layers of this tumultuous love story, you'll uncover a very honest dissection of power dynamics, selfishness, and addiction. We welcome a very special guest, and fan of passion and friendship, onto the podcast to talk Jackson Maine, Ally, and one of the year's best movies.
