The filmmaker James Marsh (“”Man on Wire”, The Theory of Everything”) returns to the podcast after 11 years. His latest movie “Dance First” starring Gabriel Byrne opens on Friday, August 9th theatrically & digitally on August 16th. The narrative film studies the life of Irish playwright Samuel Beckett – World War II resistance fighter, Nobel Prize-winner, philandering husband and recluse.
And the author Chris Nashawaty discusses his new book “The Future Was Now” (Flatiron Books, 2024) about the Summer of 1982, a groundbreaking year for sci-fi movies.
