    Julie & Julia with Madeline Wells

    In the pantheon of bad movie haircuts (wigs??), one film rises above. We reach the end of another great festival with a new comfort classic, the double biopic Julie & Julia. Is the Julie half really all that bad? Is Chris Messina so hot it excuses his rude behavior? Does this movie hit different in a Substack's America? We get into all of it, plus a lot of Adam and Streep talk, with food reporter Madeline Wells! Read Madeline's reporting at SF Gate here.

    If you've ever wondered what it would feel like to live inside a Renaissance painting, today's episode is for you.

    When Harry Met Sally... with Hooman Yazdanian

    The Loeb Boathouse...Katz's Deli...Cafe Luxembourg...grapes and paprikash and dressing on the side... Who says When Harry Met Sally's not a food movie?? Certainly not the great Hooman Yazdanian, who brought the iconic Reiner/Ephron collab to Film Festatouille so that we could go on and on about a perfect movie. More importantly, if pesto is the quiche of the eighties, then what's the pesto of right now? Don't worry: we get into it! Film Fest is brought to you by wig-wag: personal essays on film.
