A Cannes Miracle Run, Plus a Conversation with Maya Rudolph May 28, 2024

Show notes

Host Katey Rich is joined by This Had Oscar Buzz co-host Joe Reid to discuss the Cannes Film Festival winners, and which titles could follow in the footsteps of The Zone of Interest and Anatomy of a Fall to major Oscar success.

Then, Katey talks to Maya Rudolph about the second season of her series Loot, in which she co-stars alongside Michaela Jae Rodriguez, Joel Kim Booster, Nat Faxon, and more. After coming up on Saturday Night Live and guest starring on virtually every great comedy of the past two decades, Rudolph says “I feel far funnier among funny people as opposed to being the center of something.” As Loot emerges as a true workplace comedy in its second season, it certainly allows her to do just that.
