The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: Three Big Documentaries, One Great Episode

For the first time ever, we devoted an entire episode just to documentary releases. And they're all pretty worthwhile. You can hear our thoughts on You Can See Everything, Musk and Once Upon a Time in Harlem down below.

'Press Play With Madeleine Brand': Elizabeth Holmes, Street Fighters, 'Whalefall' and 'La Bola Negra'

We tackle movies big and small, action flicks and sweeping period romances, on KCRW this week. Alison Willmore and I teamed up to review You Can See Everything, Street Fighter, Whalefall and La Bola Negra. Lots to talk about, and you can hear our conversation down below.

'Street Fighter' Review

This is the third attempt to make Street Fighter a film franchise. Not on my watch! My review of the pretty meh movie is up at the Los Angeles Times. 

White Zombie - "More Human Than Human"

I got to the premiere of Street Fighter early on Monday, which meant I sat inside the Chinese listening to the pre-show music on a loop. "More Human Than Human" came on at some point. "Man," I thought, "that song still slays." 

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: 'The Social Reckoning,' 'My Undesirable Friends: Part II' and 'Animals'

We've got a little bit of everything on this week's episode. We disagree on Aaron Sorkin's The Social Reckoning and then we take a look at Julia Loktev's follow-up to the incredible My Undesirable Friends. Finally, we kick Ben Affleck's terrible thriller Animals around. Check out the banter and reviews down below.

Los Dug Dug's - "I Don't Care (Yo No Se)"

It doesn't always matter how I find cool songs. It just matters that I do.

My Interview With Cristian Mungiu, Writer-Director of 'Fjord'

Cristian Mungiu makes searing dramas. But what's he like to talk to? For the Los Angeles Times, I chatted with the director of Fjord about fatherhood, his brief time making comedies, and why he hopes his movies inspire a little debate. Hope you enjoy.

'You Can See Everything' Review

Since its secret premiere at Telluride, You Can See Everything has been roundly proclaimed the movie of the year. Is it? My review is up at Screen International.

Eva Marie Saint, 1924-2026
