BOOKSMART + SUNSET | feat. Beanie Feldstein & Kaitlyn Dever
Description
In this episode we talk to Kaitlyn Dever and Beanie Feldstein about their instant classic new teen comedy 'Booksmart', plus we travel to Budapest for 'Sunset', the new film from the director of 'Son of Saul'
Study hard, don’t slack off, get into a good college: that’s the formula for high school success, or so think best friends Molly (Beanie Feldstein) and Amy (Kaitlyn Dever). That’s until they discover that their hard-partying classmates are also bound for the Ivy League. So begins the party odyssey that is 'Booksmart'
From László Nemes, the Oscar-winning director of 'Son of Saul', comes 'Sunset', a sublimely evocative recreation of 1913 Budapest, a city at the crux of world history. Irisz Leiter (Juli Jakab) arrives in the capital eager to become a milliner at her late parents’ legendary hat shop. But she is drawn into the mystery of what happened to her long-missing brother. Her search will lead her into a dazzling panorama of the dying gasps of the Austro-Hungarian empire.
Discussing the films this week are Jake Cunningham, Kelly Powell, Iana Murray and Sam Howlett

We’re in love. It started with a Water Lilies in 2007. Our love grew stronger with Tomboy in 2011. We were devoted by the time Girlhood came around in 2014. And now, well, we scarcely know what to do with ourselves.
This month we’ve dedicated an entire episode of our podcast to Céline Sciamma’s...
