Media Revue Pod

Just in time before the Oscars 2020, my good friend Leonora joined me to discuss one of the contenders of the night vying for Best Picture, 1917. We also discuss Sam Mendes's debut feature film American Beauty, 20 years after it won the Academy Award for Best Picture. Aside from that, we also talk about rotting corpses, Sundance Festival, rose petals, a single continuous shot, the 2020 Women's March in LA, the awe-inspiring cinematography of Conrad Hall and Roger Deakins, and how an actor's real-life background can color the way you see a film 20 years later.  

You can find Leonora on Instagram leonoramakespictures & leonoramakesmovies or her websites www.leonoramakespictures.com & www.leonoramakesmovies.com.

Tick-tock, tick-tock. This is Part 2 of our discussion with Yaminah McKessesy about the groundbreaking new show on HBO, Watchmen.

¡Por fin! La continuación de nuestra conversación sobre la saga de Star Wars con nuestro invitado residente, Carlos R. Marchand. Fue tan larga que tuvimos que dividir el episodio en dos partes. Aquí hablamos sobre Dagmarita, los clones, lo que pensará George cuando nos llame, los efectos visuales de la "cuarta" película de Indiana Jones, Ahmed Best, Telemuñequitos, Titi Chagua y la diferencia entre lo que uno espera y lo que eventualmente recibe.
