My Interview With Michael O'Keefe, Star of 'Caddyshack'

He plays the main character in Caddyshack, not that you necessarily think of Danny as the film's main character. It's been nearly 45 years since that comedy opened in theaters, so how does Michael O'Keefe feel about the movie today? I had a long talk with him about that, and also Buddhism, addiction and learning from your bad career choices. Hope you enjoy.

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: 'Confess, Fletch,' 'Barbarian' and Recapping Toronto

After a week off for Toronto, I'm back on the podcast, and we're reviewing four new movies: The Woman King, Barbarian, Pinocchio and Confess, Fletch. Plus, I offer some observations about the festival. Hear the whole thing down below.

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: 'Space Jam: A New Legacy,' 'Pig' and My Cannes Report

Lots of movies to cram in this week. We reviewed Black Widow, Space Jam: A New Legacy, No Sudden Move and Pig. Then I asked Will about The Tomorrow War. But first, I talked about my time at Cannes. Hear the whole thing down below.

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: Astronauts, Bad Times, Kindergarten Teachers, '22 July' and 'Beautiful Boy'

Five new movies are reviewed on this week's podcast, and I'm pretty lukewarm on most of them. I explain why First Man is just OK, Bad Times at the El Royale is superficially entertaining, The Kindergarten Teacher is merely modest and Beautiful Boy is minor. Of the lot, 22 July is my favorite. Hear the whole thing down below.

'Bad Times at the El Royale' Review

I really liked The Cabin in the Woods, so I was curious to see what writer-director Drew Goddard would do next. It's Bad Times at the El Royale, a Tarantino-esque look at a group of strangers who descend on an isolated hotel one dark and stormy night. I liked it a little less than The Cabin. My review is up at Screen International.

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: Pixar Superheroes, Lame Bromances and 'Before Midnight'

This week's podcast feels like it's stuck in a time warp. Incredibles 2 is the sequel to a movie that came out in 2004. Tag could have easily come out 10 years ago, back when bromances were a big deal. And Before Midnight is the latest (last?) movie in a series that began in 1995. You can hear the whole episode down below.

'Tag' Review

More like Sag. I reviewed this so-so bromance for Screen International.

Jon Hamm, Funny Actor

Years later, Jon Hamm is still best known for his role as Don Draper on the AMC drama Mad Men. This has not stopped him from branching out into comedy, again and again. With Tag hitting theaters Friday, I looked back at his attempts to be funny. My findings are up at MEL.
