Truly one of the best talkbacks and not only because we got to see Christopher Nolan direct Ridley Scott how he should change his grip on the mic (it lasted five minutes but was worth it). #gladiator2 #christophernolan #ridleyscott

If you haven’t yet, please go listen to My Mom’s Murder on Audible. We are rising in the charts, but this is an important and also interesting story. I’m really proud of this podcast and especially of how incredible Lauren is. www.audible.com/pd/B0DJ3H6ZQ...

On the 80th anniversary of D-Day, I’m thinking of my great grandfather Mac (Max Rosenthal). 1 of the soldiers who liberated Ste.-Mère-Église.
1) Mac in 1942.
2) Dog tag and some of the shrapnel removed from his back.
3) His Purple Heart.
4) His Bronze Star.

So fantastic to get to hear an orchestra conducted by Jeff Russo play selections from the beautiful Ripley score and followed by a Q&A with him, creator Steven Zaillian, stars Andrew Scott, Dakota Fanning, Eliot Sumner, DP Robert Elswit, and production designer David Gropman.

So great to hear from Richard Linklater, Glen Powell, Adria Arjona, and Mike Blizzard after watching their very funny and clever movie Hit Man!

So fun (and funny) to see Ilona Schlesinger interview Jim Gaffigan, Jenny Slate and Tig Notaro at the #primefyc (and also great food 😂)

So fun to see this “rom com drom” as director and co-writer (with Jennifer Westfeldt) Michael Showalter coined it! Then hear Showalter and producer Cathy Schulman talk about making it!

Great to rewatch the fantastic Black Mirror episode “Beyond the Sea” on the big screen. And even better to hear creator Charlie Brooker and stars Josh Hartnett and Kate Mara talk about it afterwards with other members of the talented crew!

Loved seeing the first three episodes of Ripley on the big screen, but the best part was hearing about this film noir series from incredible writer/director Steven Zaillian.
