James Mangold - 'A Complete Unknown'

One of Hollywood's most dependable filmmakers — always good for an entertaining and solid, if not showy, film, with great performances, regardless of genre — reflects on how, at 21, his career took off like a rocket, then crashed, and then was rebuilt; how he learned to work with actors, including the biggest names in the biz (among them Stallone, Cruise and Chalamet), and guided two (Jolie and Witherspoon) to performances for which they won Oscars; and what it meant to him to personally land three Oscar noms — for producing, writing and, for the first time in his career, directing — for his new film about Bob Dylan.

My favorite for entertainment industry interviews. Scott Feinstein is excellent. His Jesse Eisenberg interview was so interesting, as are nearly all of them are.
Less Exposition

Scot is a talented interviewer and the podcast includes great guests. The only thing I find annoying and Scott's interview style is that many times he asks the guest a question and then goes on to explain why he is asking the question. Please ask the question and then stop talking so the guest can answer. If it is necessary to explain why you are asking a question, consider doing that before asking the question.
Great host

The host is not smooth or polished in a slick media sense and the result is interviews which are more discussions between two interested parties than the standard back and forth, QA thing you’re used to hearing. The Hollywood Reporter is very lucky to have this guy representing their voice in podcast land.
