Episode 91
What an excellent and rare interview. Hearing Carlena and her mom’s recollections of their experiences shooting Inferno was fantastic. It would be amazing to be able to see those on-set photos that Carlena mentioned. anyhow, loved the film since I was a kid which led to my career in VFX. Great job with this episode and I will definitly check out more.
We are talking about the King of Cool here….
Steve McQueen is the quintessential example of a man’s man. Kelsy does an incredible job of presenting the King of Cool’s life and his work by a wonderful telling the story himself and bringing in the best guests to tell their parts. We fans are lucky to have him.
Steve McQueen
If you like the actor and are into behind-the-scene stories about the man, you’ll really dig this podcast. Insightful and entertaining. The host Kelsey Norman asks the right questions to his guests, many of whom knew McQ, giving them plenty of room to reply.
As a recurring guest, author Marshall Terrill is always a treat to listen to, considering the extensive research he has done on the actor, and his overall knowledge of the period.
You’ll want to revisit those classic McQueen movies again, and pay attention to what you missed the first time around.
If I may suggest Mr Norman, how about an episode tapping into the actor’s fashion style of the period, on and off screen, and its legacy today? I’m definitely not talking about obnoxious contemporary fashion tshirts flanked with the actor’s face + a quote, but rather what he actually wore and why it’s still relevant today. I’m sure a few people would dig that.
