    *SLAMDANCE 2026* Interview With 'Danny is My Boyfriend' (2026) Directors, Lucy Sandler & Mechi Lakatos

    Lucy Sandler is a filmmaker with a particular interest in the nuance of the female perspective and coming of age stories. Mechi Lakatos is a writer and filmmaker whose work explores dislocation, intergenerational rupture, and the emotional interior lives of women, queer people, and immigrants. The pair co-wrote the short film The Weight of a Dog, which played at Aspen and Atlanta in 2025. Their first feature film development together, Danny is My Boyfriend, follows Lucy and Mechi after they discover they’re dating the same man. The pair fumble their way through a series of misguided schemes, enlisting a parade of eccentric and unqualified accomplices in a half-baked mission to get revenge. Lucy and Mechi join us to discuss their improvisational approach to the film before their World Premiere at Slamdance.

  2. The Rolling Remote: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (S1)

    The Rolling Remote: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (S1)

    For the first time at The Rolling Remote, we are heading into the lands of Westeros with A Night of the Seven Kingdoms, the HBO fantasy drama created by Ira Parker and George R.R. Martin. The series is the third live-action entry in Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire universe, following Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon. It's set roughly 90 years before the events of Game of Thrones and adapts the tales of Martin's "Tales of Dunk and Egg" novellas, beginning with the first one, which is season one, The Hedge Knight.  Rather than focusing on dynastic warfare or dragon-fueled succession battles, this story centers on Ser Duncan the Tall, played by Peter Claffey, a hedge knight of uncertain standing, and his young squire, Egg, played by Dexter Sol Ansell, whose true identity carries significant political weight. Today we're breaking down the entire first season, all six episodes, from character dynamics to the Trial of the Seven, to how the series fits within the broader Westeros landscape.  On this episode: Jake Fittipaldi Timmy Lee Ethan Dayton Support the show Subscribe: The Rolling Tape Patreon Listen Here: Spotify Apple Podcasts All Listening Platforms Have questions?

    EP 177: How To Make A Killing, The Career of Glen Powell & This or That “Eat the Rich” Movies

    Today we are eating the rich, unlocking our inheritances, and moving our way up to the top tax bracket with How to Make a Killing written and directed by John Patton Ford and distributed by A24. Disowned at birth by his obscenely wealthy family, blue-collar Becket Redfellow will stop at nothing to reclaim his inheritance, no matter how many relatives stand in his way. The film stars Glen Powell, Margaret Qualley, and Jessica Henwick. It is the sophomore feature follow-up to his 2022 directorial debut, Emily the Criminal, which premiered at Sundance. In addition to reviewing the film, we’ll discuss the state of Glen Powell’s career, as well as play a this or that game with “eat the rich” style movies we’ve seen.

    The Rolling Remote: Industry (S4, Episodes 1-5)

    WATCH THIS EPISODE WITH AD-FREE, EARLY ACCESS ON VIDEO BY SUBSCRIBING TO OUR PATREON. In a first for The Rolling Remote, our TV podcast series, we are talking about Industry, created by Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, that follows a group of young people just trying to survive in the world of high finance and investment banking. The series first premiered in 2020 and, over four seasons, has steadily built a reputation as one of HBO's most compelling contemporary dramas. Across the first three seasons, the show gained traction through word of mouth and critical support rather than immediate hype, and now, in its fourth season, it feels like the series has finally reached a new level of visibility and interest. Today's episode will be focused on Season Four, episodes one through five.
