    Back to Black and the Industrial Biopic Complex

    Back to Black and the Industrial Biopic Complex

    It’s summer 2024 baby! Takes are heating up faster than the alleged chemistry between Nick Galitzine and Anne Hathaway in The Idea of You. Murtada starts us off with rants about that film and The Fall Guy, before the pair turn their attention to Back to Black, the latest biopic covering the life of the late English legend Amy Winehouse. They discuss what the film gets right and wrong, and how challenging it is to play a star of such a huge magnitude. They compare Back to Black to recent biopics of music icons like Bob Marley and Whitney Huston, and *more importantly* fight about Renee Zellweger in Judy.

    CHALLENGER? I HARDLY KNOW HER!

    Izzy and Murtada make their grand return to the podcast to discuss Challengers, the latest from Italian director Luca Guadagnino. Zendaya, Josh O’Connor, and Mike Faist star in this sensual thriller that brings audiences into the melodramatic world of professional tennis. Tensions run high when their lives collide in a make-or-break match that will determine the next steps in their career. In this episode, they discuss the star power of Zendaya, Josh O’Connor’s scene-stealing performance as Patrick, the attention-grabbing score, and how Challengers fits into the broader filmography of Luca Guadagnino.

    Interview with Dave Karger on his book “50 Oscar Nights”

    In this episode, Izzy chats with host of Turner Classic Movies, Dave Karger, about his book “50 Oscar Nights: Iconic Stars and Filmmakers on their Career-Defining Wins.” This collection of original interviews with actors, filmmakers, musicians, and craftspeople spans 60 years of Oscar history, and provides truly personal insight into a very public, much-discussed event. Karger talks about what it’s like being on the red carpet, his interviews with actors like Jane Fonda and Hilary Swank, and how he’d like to see the Oscars evolve in the future.
