Good Start
I enjoyed this podcast, but something about it was lacking. I don't think it was the lack of host either. Kinda liked that there wasn't any host interrupting and guiding the conversation. Just two filmakers who are obviously fans of each other's work.. having a great chat. The part that I found awkward had to do with the constant back and forth in a way that sounded like each director was going overboard trying to politely talk more about the other's work. Maybe there needs a wee bit of structure? Perhaps for a given amount of time one speaker takes the lead with the questions about the other quest's film. Then, they swap and the other takes the lead. Then, maybe leave the last 3rd of the podcast with them just riffing back and forth. One of the several interesting details I got out of this conversation was toward the end when Barry asks something along the lines of "how did you decide you would be the one to direct" Or, something like that. Greta starts describing how she just said it out loud to her agent, that she was going to direct it... knowing she could easily back out... and that she just kept kicking it down the road. Barry disagrees with her own assessment and likens her stated process to more like building a house, first she started with a foundation, then frame, sheetrock, etc. However, I think he's wrong about that. Based on what she said, I think it happened just like she described. There wasn't really a plan for her to direct, though she wanted to... but, she sent forth the intention/idea of her directing... without any committment, then just ket kicking that idea down the road until it started growing on it's own. Hard to describe, but I bet that's pretty much how it happened for her. That's interesting to me because it makes me wonder just how powerful the act of saying you're going to do something without really committing to it internally, can be. She simply said it and didn't take it back immediately... casually kicked it along, until it grew into an actual thing (if that makes any sense). Anyway, I subscribed to this one even though I already have way too many podcasts already. This one might evolve into something special if they don't mess it up with a host. ;)Read full review »

I like hearing filmmakers talk about film. What is particularly great about the A24 podcast is how unstructured it is. These are just conversations between very creative people.
