The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: Marvel Movies, 'Gloria Bell,' 'Apollo 11' and 'The Apartment'


Of course we talked about Captain Marvel on this week's episode. But I went solo to offer my reviews of Gloria Bell and Apollo 11. And then we looked back at the Oscar-winning The Apartment, which I gushed about. Hear the whole show down below.

'Press Play With Madeleine Brand': Reviews of 'Kings,' 'Disobedience' and 'Avengers: Infinity War'


Always fun to be on Press Play -- it just occurred to me, they should call the show On Brand -- to talk movies. On Friday, I shared the mic with Roth Cornet to review Avengers: Infinity War, as well as two English-language debuts. First up is Mustang's Deniz Gamze Ergüven, whose Kings is an unfortunate disaster. Then, there's Sebastian Lelio, who won the Oscar for A Fantastic Woman, who is back with Disobedience, starring Rachel Weisz and Rachel McAdams. You can hear the whole thing here.

This week's episode features reviews of two new movies: Winchester and A Fantastic Woman. But in our Reboot segment, we revisit two fan favorites that, I confess, I've never much liked. Has my opinion changed on The Big Lebowski and Legally Blonde? You can hear the whole thing down below.

My Interview With Sebastian Lelio and Daniela Vega of 'A Fantastic Woman'


Before I left for Sundance (and before the LAFCA banquet), I had an opportunity to sit down with Sebastian Lelio and Daniela Vega, the director and star of the Best Foreign Language Film nominee A Fantastic Woman. We talked about the representation of transgender characters in movies, finding the film's voice, and why (seriously) the Alan Parsons Project's "Time" is an amazing song. You can read the whole thing here.

The Alan Parsons Project - "Time"

A Fantastic Woman is Chile's official entry for the Academy Awards. The movie's quite good, but I especially liked the use of this Alan Parsons Project track on the closing credits. I've had it on a loop for weeks.
