Mousterpiece Melodies: Randy Newman and 'Toy Story'

Basically, I will take any opportunity afforded me to talk about Randy Newman. So I was delighted that the guys behind Mousterpiece Cinema brought the podcast back to do a deep dive into the original music featured in Disney movies ... and then asked me to be on for an in-depth conversation about Newman's Toy Story songs. Yup, we got into all four films, and the many covers you can find out there on the web. A total blast, and you can check it out down below.

Mousterpiece Cinema: 'Ant-Man and the Wasp'

Yours truly appeared on the 359th episode of Mousterpiece Cinema to go long on Ant-Man and the Wasp. I talked about what Marvel's doing right that Lucasfilm could learn from. You can hear the whole thing down below.

Mousterpiece Cinema: Happy 10th Birthday, 'There Will Be Blood'

I still remember vividly the press screening I attended for There Will Be Blood, which left me utterly stunned. Can it really have been 10 years? I was invited on Mousterpiece Cinema to talk about the movie, and I had a great time. (Also, this is my fifth appearance on the podcast: Yes, I'm part of the show's hallowed five-timers club.) You can hear the whole conversation down below.

Mousterpiece Cinema: Going Long on 'Rogue One'

At this point, you have already seen Rogue One or decided you're entirely uninterested in seeing it. This post is for people in the former camp: I was very pleased to be asked back to Mousterpiece Cinema to talk about the latest Star Wars movie. We went long -- two hours -- and I think it's a fun discussion about the movie that touches on politics, economics and whether CG Tarkin is the worst thing ever. Check it out here.

Mousterpiece Cinema: Discussing 'The Prestige'

I returned to the Mousterpiece Cinema podcast this week to discuss The Prestige. I always have a fun time with hosts Josh Spiegel and Gabe Bucsko, but I was especially pleased to do this episode because it gave me an excuse to rewatch the film, which I'd been meaning to do for a while. Josh and Gabe are a little higher on it than I am, which we get into during the show. You can hear the whole thing here.

Debating 'Avengers: Age of Ultron'

This weekend, I went on Mousterpiece Cinema to speak with Josh Spiegel and Gabe Bucsko about Avengers: Age of Ultron. And, boy, did we talk: We chatted for 90 minutes about the film, the franchise, Joss Whedon, Marvel, feminism, comic-book movies, and why Ant-Man could be the studio's Cars 2. (I think I scared Josh with that last point.) You can hear the whole thing here.

What Has Happened to Vince Vaughn?

That's the question I tried to answer in a podcast interview I did with Mousterpiece Cinema, which is hosted by the quite fun Josh Spiegel and Gabe Bucsko. I was on to discuss Vince Vaughn's latest, Delivery Man, but we soon moved on from the movie to grapple with Vaughn's career crossroads. I had a fine time chatting with them. You can hear it here.
