Grierson and Leitch Conversations: Matt Norlander Oct 31, 2019

Show notes

Hey, Grierson & Leitch listeners! We have another Grierson & Leitch Conversations show. It's a throwback to Will's old The Will Leitch Experience podcast, when we used to preview the college basketball season with CBS Sports' Matt Norlander. If you do not like or care about college basketball, this is a very skippable show! We barely talk about movies at all! But we always liked doing this show, so we're doing this one now. We'll be back with our regular episode on Sunday. Don't stick to sports! We hope you enjoy. Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter, or griersonleitch@gmail.com.

"Ad Astra," "Rambo: Last Blood," "Ratatouille" Sep 23, 2019

Show notes

Brad Pitt is not named Ad Astra in "Ad Astra," so stop thinking that. That's not true! His name is Roy. He is dealing with Dad stuff in outer space. We discuss James Gray's new movie, as well as Sylvester Stallone trotting out Rambo one more time in "Rambo: Last Blood." Then, in our Reboot movie, we look at 2007's Pixar film "Ratatouille." How does it hold up? 12:22 "Ad Astra" 36:09 "Rambo: Last Blood" 59:44 "Ratatouille" Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.

Show notes

Grierson's back! After a two-plus-week absence while traveling to the Venice Film Festival and the Toronto Film Festival, Grierson has returned to us! He gives us the best and worst films from each festival, and then dives right back in with discussions of two movies out this weekend. First, it's the Jennifer Lopez stripper-crime-drama "Hustlers," and then it's the adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel "The Goldfinch." Our reboot isn't messing around either: It's the Federico Fellini classic "8 1/2." Timestamps (approximate): 12:32 "Hustlers" 31:22 "The Goldfinch" 46:19 "8 1/2" Isn't it nice having Grierson back?
