We got a little drunk, and discussed two of the most iconic actors to have ever walked this earth. 😔 Gena Rowlands was Ryan’s greatest acting inspiration. What’s made her work mean so much to him? And what’s he learned from watching her that he’s worked to integrate into his own work. We discuss ‘Opening Night’ and the rawness of it. As well as the evolution of independent film as a result of her working relationship with her husband John Cassavetes. We wonder out loud if Gena Rowlands and Alain Delon were stylistic opposites? And then if Alain Delon’s unsavory past before becoming an actor contributed to the relaxed menace the he was able to portray so effortlessly on screen. We discuss his work in ‘Purple Moon’, and the new era of male on screen sexuality this his emergence as a star ushered in. Enjoy.
