Hey all,
This has been a busy week, capped off by several technical snafus when I was editing this podcast. So, I haven’t had time to write about all the things I’ve been seeing, which was my original plan for this week’s newsletter. And honestly, the things I saw this week (and there was A LOT) has been so good that I want to give it a little bit of time, because there’s a lot to talk about.
I was originally going to save this episode of We’re Watching Here for early next week. But we’ll start here. I had a great time chatting with Perry about two of Altman’s seemingly more minor works. I’d say Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean and Secret Honor are among my least favorite of the Altman films we’ve dived into this year. But there’s still a ton to talk about with these stage adaptations…I mean, one of them is a movie about Richard Nixon ranting alone in a room for 90 minutes with whiskey and a gun. How could there not be something to talk about? So, I hope you enjoy this conversation.
I’ll be back either later this weekend or early next week with a rundown of some of the things I’ve been watching lately, which includes The Banshees of Inisherin, Tár, After Yang, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Aftersun. So, enjoy this episode and I’ll be back with more shortly!
