Ep. 485 – Blonde (with Kristen Lopez)

Welcome, one and all, to the latest episode of The Film Stage Show! Today, we have a special announcement. As revealed last week, Michael Snydel will be stepping down as a chair of The Film Stage Show after over 200 episodes of the podcast. While we're sad to see him depart, don't worry, he'll still be hanging around to produce Intermission episodes––with more to come soon. We're thrilled to welcome past guest and friend of the show Robyn Bahr as a new chair of The Film Stage Show. Robyn's writing has appeared in The Hollywood Reporter, The Washington Post, Slate, and The Village Voice. She's also a member of the Boston Society of Film Critics, the Boston Online Film Critic’s Association, and the Critics Choice Association. Having guested on our episodes for A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, 1917, Soul, and Nomadland, we look forward to having many more discussions with Robyn on movies new and old. In this episode, we discuss Lee Issac Chung's Minari, which is now available in theaters and digitally.

Hello, The Film Stage Show listeners! We're sharing this special episode of The B-Side on this feed. For more episodes of The B-Side, subscribe to the podcast wherever you are listening. Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. And today we talk to the great Steve Zahn, currently starring in the impressive indie Cowboys. Dan and Conor were lucky enough to speak with Zahn about his eclectic career, including highlights such as Safe Men, Riding in Cars with Boys, and A Perfect Getaway. We discuss the immense variety in his resume, from Reality Bites to Rescue Dawn, the slightly infamous legacy of Sundance fave Happy, Texas, the way he approaches each role, and a little-seen film called Blowin’ Smoke (Freak Talks About Sex). Cowboys is currently available in virtual cinemas and on VOD. Be sure to give us a follow on Twitter and Facebook at @TFSBSide.
