Leitch 팟 캐스트

Every year for, jeez, about a decade now, on a variety of different podcasts, author and podcaster Jeb Lund has joined Will to talk about the state of the world, and stuffing, on Thanksgiving. This is this year's conversation. This show was produced by Jeb, which is why it sounds good. His show notes are below. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Thanks…

We're getting close to the end of the year, all. Prepare yourself! We've got two big releases this week: "Ghostbusters: Afterlife," and the Williams sisters origin story film "King Richard." We also each have a solo: Grierson on Mike Mills' "C'Mon C'Mon" and Leitch on Lin-Manuel Miranda's "tick, tick ... Boom!" Timestamps: 13:21 "Ghostbusters: Afte…

Two big Netflix movies this week that couldn't possibly be more different. The first is Rebecca Hall's "Passing." Then, uh, a movie with The Rock, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot called "Red Notice."

Hey, a new Marvel movie! It is maybe the most divisive one of them all, Chloe Zhao's "Eternals." We dig into it! Also, Kristen Stewart as Princess Diana? Yeah, that's probably worth talking about: That's "Spencer." Then it's Tom Hanks, a dog and a robot, in Apple TV's "Finch." Timestamps: 11:12 "Eternals" 37:52 "Spencer" 59:23 "Finch" Thanks to Dyl…

Edgar Wright is back, with his version of "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," called "Last Night in Soho." Also, there's a horror movie with Keri Russell and Jesse Plemons called "Antlers." Huh. Also, remember "The Souvenir?" Well, Joanna Hogg is back with a sequel to it, called, understandably, "The Souvenir Part Two." Grierson has seen it, but Leitc…

Hey, we've got two big, pandemic-delayed releases this week. You've waited a long time for these movies. Now let's dig in. First, it's the big heralded Dune movie ... "Dune." It's Dune! They made it again ... but they may have finally gotten it right this time. Then it's Wes Anderson's return with "The French Dispatch," his love letter to The New Y…

There's a big star-laden period studio movie, and a horror sequel. Everything is normal now! We discuss Ridley Scott's "The Last Duel" and then the David Gordon Green follow-up "Halloween Kills."

Hey! There's a Bond movie! It was delayed for a long time--there was a pandemic--but now the movie is out. It's Daniel Craig's final Bond movie, "No Time to Die."

Then two Netflix movies: "The Starling" with Melissa McCarthy and Kevin Kline, and "The Guilty" with Jake Gyllenhaal. Timest…

Clint Eastwood is 91 years old and he's still out there making movies. In the middle of a pandemic! Before there were vaccines! It's sort of crazy! Anyway, his new (last?) movie is "Cry Macho." Leitch asks Grierson about "The Eyes of Tammy Faye," and then they discuss the St. Vincent not-mockumentary "The Nowhere Inn." Timestamps: 7:52 "Cry Macho" …

Timestamps: 9:33 "Shang-Chi and t…

Will went back to Central Illinois for the first time since the pandemic began this week. It was a little frightening! But the Illini won.

First, it's Wong Kar-Wai's 1997 bittersweet romance "Happy Together," and then it's the 1991 …

Hey, should Grierson get a cat? He should! Get that dude a cat! Anyway, this week, we discuss the Hugh Jackman drama "Reminiscence," the Rebecca Hall horror movie "The Night House" and then, in our first Reboot in a while, the 2009 star-studded wistful comedy "Adventureland." Also, bear with Grierson's mic for the first few minutes, it has some wei…
