    Andrea Riseborough

    Andrea Riseborough

    Andrea Riseborough joins Jennifer Jason Leigh and Tilda Swinton to complete the Holy Trinity of actresses who can do anything. Able to shift chameleon-like between roles, Riseborough is one of our favourites and has appeared in crime thrillers like Welcome to the Punch, horrors like Mandy and The Grudge, scored an Oscar nod for To Leslie in 2022 and appeared in the musical Matilda. Like I said, she can do it all!

    Parker Posey

    Parker Posey

    We're covering royalty this week. Parker Posey or the Queen of the Indies had an incredible run in the 1990s starring in a seemingly endless amount of indie films. From the hangout vibes of Dazed and Confused to the rich wastrel charms of Kicking and Screaming and from the nightmare dark comedy The House of Yes to the family dramedy The Daytrippers we're bringing you a small portion of Posey's best work.

    Christopher Walken - Part 1

    Christopher Walken - Part 1

    This week we begin our two part coverage on the King of the Character Actors: Christopher Walken. Known for his eccentric characters, out there line deliveries and the ease with which he switches from calm to chilling, Walken is one of the greatest living actors right now. Beginning with his Oscar-win for Best Supporting actor in the Vietnam war epic The Deer Hunter, we track his career through the ‘80s and into the early ‘90s. We look at the Stephen King adaptation The Dead Zone, the musical Pennies from Heaven and the crime thrillers At Close Range and King of New York.

Santee Alley Don Draper ,

Fantastic job

Just discovered the show. Really enjoy the hosts insight and analysis

Catlord 6 ,

Pretty good info of Hollywood and indie actors.

With the episode discussing Jennifer Jason Leigh. Her career is rather a fascinating one. Though I have to mention with Fast Times at the beginning. Btw, it’s the first episode I’ve listened. Much like with Quantum Week episode on this movie as one of the hosts didn’t like it too. I get it there’s a lot of people who don’t like it and that is fine.
