The Reel Big Show: Recent Episodes
Melissa Hanson
Host - Michael Petrelli
Each week Michael and guest(s) talk about a special topic. Past topics include: Wizard World Philadelphia Comic Con, Animation, Spoofs & Parodies and Period Films.
Previously hosted on Cinemit.com, Michael brings his big personality to Reel News Daily with regular guests Brad Slaton (Picking Brains Podcast), Jeremy Harmon (Spirit of the Thing) as well as Girls on Film podcasters, Liz Whittemore and Melissa Hanson.
Hello and welcome to another episode of Girls on Film. A podcast where ladies talk about movies. My name is Melissa Hanson and today we have an interview with Neal Huff, who has a pivotal role in the Oscar-Nominated and Independent Spirit Award-winning film, Spotlight. This is the true story of how the Boston Globe uncovered the massive scandal of child molestation and cover-up within the local Catholic Archdiocese, shaking the entire Catholic Church to its core. You may be thinking the movie is a heavy drama, but writer/director Tom McCarthy and his co-writer, Josh Singer manage to balance the emotions so even though the subject is dark, you are left with hope. Neal and I talk about his role and the real person he portrays, Phil Saviano.
Hello and welcome to another episode of Girls on Film. A podcast where ladies talk about movies. My name is Melissa Hanson and today we have an interview with Lawrence Roeck, the writer and director of Diablo starring Scott Eastwood. The western slash psychological thriller is about a young civil war veteran who is forced on a desperate journey to save his kidnapped wife. Along the way he crosses paths with three important characters played by Walton Goggins, of recent Hateful Eight fame, Adam Beach, who you’ll recognize from war films like Flags of Our Fathers and Danny Glover who needs no introduction. There’s not much more I can reveal without spoiling the film. Not only does it hold your attention with the story, the cinematography is breathtaking.
This week's podcast is dedicated to Alex Gibney's documentary, Steve Jobs: The Man In the Machine. Liz and I attended a screening, Q&A and reception where Gibney spoke with the press audience. After, Liz and I realized that as a user and non-user of Apple products, we had a great opportunity to discuss the film from both perspectives.

There's a huge following for the online game League of Legends, as over 67 million players MONTHLY play the game. Director Patrick Creadon focuses on both behind-the-scenes of setting up the tournaments and the some of the teams that are world champions in his new documentary, All Work All Play.
Patrick gives his thoughts on everything from how he learned about League of Legends to how documentary filmmaking has changed since his Sundance hit, Wordplay.

Check out the audio interview with the Cloud 9 team here.
Whether you're a gamer or not, you can appreciate the time and talent it takes to become a world champion. In League of Legends, the free-to-play online game from Riot Games, two teams of five compete. One of the top North American teams, Cloud 9, is profiled in the new documentary All Work All Play, screened as a work-in-progress at this year's Tribeca Film Festival. I sat down with the team before any of us had seen the movie, and asked them about their lives, interests and what it means to be part of an emerging sport, well, e-sport, that is.
[audio mp3="http://reelnewsdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/AllWorkAllPlay_Cloud9Team.mp3"][/audio]
Music is part of our souls. It can heal, it can hurt, it's like a sense memory. We've lost great artists in their prime like, Leonard Cohen, Kurt Cobain, and Elliot Smith. The impact of their death is felt each time we hear one of their songs. Imagine, for a moment, that your very favorite artist suddenly dies. Now imagine you were married to them. This is the very premise of TUMBLEDOWN. Hannah is the widow of indie folk singer Hunter Miles. She is hounded by gossip seekers on a daily basis. When Hofstra professor and true fan Andrew tries to get in touch with her, she brushes him off... and brushes him off again... and again. Only until realizing that her dream of writing Hunter's story is one she cannot accomplish on her own, does she let her highly guarded heart open just a crack. Andrew and Hannah strike a deal; Andrew writes a biography on her terms for $50k. With the encouragement of his music industry girlfriend Finley, Andrew drives from NYC to Maine and moves into Hannah's guest bedroom. He is then exposed to a world a true fan can only dream of, with one massive catch. Hannah will not stop mourning her late husband. Can fan and family see eye to eye. Can trust break down the walls of Hannah's suffering? Will intellect stifle healing. In a film where it's head vs heart, who wins?
Rebecca Hall is flawless as Hannah. Witty, independent, strong headed, Hall plays a woman unwilling to move on with her life. Jason Sudeikis as Andrew is unstoppable. Smart, and quippy as ever, this role is something new for Sudeikis. I love this side of him and hope that the industry, and more writers, take note of his innate ability to be funny in a non-slapstick kind of way. These two are an absolute powerhouse as they match wits with one another in each scene. Rounding out an incredible cast is Dianna Agron as Finley. Life after GLEE fame should treat her well if she keeps up such a strong, believable presence on the big screen. Blythe Danner and Richard Masur play Hannah's parents. Deeply supportive and yet totally realistic, these two are the perfect counter balance to Andrew's inability to let go of presumption. Finally, Griffin Dunne plays Hannah's editor and owner of the town beloved book shop. He brings warmth and charm only a small town holds.
The film was 8 years in the making. Writer Desi Van Til thoughtfully crafted this story partly as a personal healing piece for a lost friend. She skillfully captures the heart of New England, the desperation of grief, and the hold that music has on everyone's heart. For Director Sean Mewshaw, his first feature length film is a total success. It's shot in such a way that truly shows the quaintness of the area. Finding "Hunter Miles" or singer Damien Jurado was one of his triumphs. He perfectly encapsulates the feel of the character that was created by Desi, Rebecca, Jason, and Sean. Coming in after the film was already in the can, with his music and lyrics, he "created" a musician we're all discovering for the first time, but feel like we've now lost as well. It might also help that Sean and Desi are husband and wife! This team is a real tour de force and without any solid knowledge (only mere mentions) I predict many captivating projects coming down the pipeline from these two.
Grief is something so personal. No matter how big the hit we feel, it still leaves a hole in our hearts and souls. Sometimes music helps. Sometimes it's a trigger. Either way, the songs live on long after we're gone. So sing, I say. TUMBLEDOWN is easily in my top three narrative selections to come out the this year's festival. It is a must see and definitely a must hear.
I was fortunate enough to attend a roundtable interview with Dianna Agron, Jason Sudeikis, Desi Van Til and Sean Mewshaw. We talk issues from the film, insight into the project's journey, as well as Jason and Dianna's other releases at the fest. Take a listen to the absolute joy around the table: You can hear me ask a question about journalistic responsibility and one about Dianna's similarities to the character of Hannah. Enjoy the voices of TUMBLEDOWN!

Once you find out that a film is based on true events, it tends to enter a different realm. What happens when the usual teenage fair in your new town is one of depression and morbidity? Bridgend captures the imagination and haunts the mind long after you leave the theater. It's a mysterious and ethereal film, from the locations, to the performances, until the very last scene. Hannah Murray talks about what is was like to be in an area where teens feel so hopeless and trapped that suicide is a logical solution. Passionate about a deadly pact, call it peer pressure or perhaps mob mentality, her character Sara is lured into this strange arena. Can she hold onto herself long enough? That's the ultimate question. Hannah gives us one of most intriguing performance so far. This is not easy material to tackle, but a real success by director Jeppe Rønde and the entire cast. Take a listen to her thoughts on this unusual phenomenon, what's it like to be part of one of the biggest shows on television, and what she's filming right now. For you listening pleasure, we give you a special edition of Girls On Film.
[audio m4a="http://reelnewsdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/Hannah-Murray-BRIDGEND-interview.m4a"][/audio]
SYNOPSIS: When a police investigator is tasked with investigating a recent string of unexplained tragedies, he arrives in the notorious Welsh county of Bridgend with his daughter Sara (Hannah Murray). Naïve and curious, Sara slowly works her way in with a clique of wild teenagers and discovers what bonds them together so tightly—the ritualistic celebration of their friends’ suicides. Initially frightened by the revelation, her eventual participation in this peculiar observance is cemented when she falls in love with Jamie (Josh O’Connor), another member of the menacing group. The unrelenting darkness that engulfs her peers encroaches on Sara, tainting her relationship with her father and threatening her sanity.
Director Jeppe Rønde's debut film is based on a real-life town, which has baffled the world by recording at least 79 suicides since 2007. Darkly lush scenes set in the Welsh countryside are juxtaposed with claustrophobic village twists and turns, creating a sophisticated and gothic depiction of the Bridgend mystery.
You can catch the last screening of BRIDGEND at the festival and read more on the film here: Tribeca Film Festival Guide 2015

Based on a true story, ROSEWATER marks the screenwriting and directorial debut of The Daily Show host Jon Stewart, and stars Gael García Bernal.
Liz attended the press conference and despite the serious subject matter, Jon Stewart kept them all laughing. Are you really surprised? Heads up to all those Big Daddy fans out there, you're in for a treat. Listen after the jump!
Oh, p.s. Jon Stewart's reddit AMA is happening today at 11:30am ET / 8:30am PT! Pick his brain and ASK HIM ANYTHING! #RosewaterMovie
[audio mp3="http://reelnewsdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/GOF_Rosewater_Conf.mp3"][/audio]
The feature film Rosewater is based on The New York Times best-selling memoir “Then They Came for Me: A Family’s Story of Love, Captivity, and Survival,” written by the BBC journalist Maziar Bahari. A true story, the film marks the screenwriting and directorial debut of “The Daily Show” host and executive producer Jon Stewart, and stars Gael García Bernal, leading an international cast. Rosewater is produced by Scott Rudin, Stewart, and Gigi Pritzker, with Lila Yacoub, Eli Bush and Chris McShane serving as executive producers.
[caption id="attachment_4667" align="aligncenter" width="1200"] Mazier Bahari at the NYC Rosewater Press Junket. Photo by Liz Whittemore[/caption]
Rosewater follows the Tehran-born Bahari, a 42-year-old broadcast journalist with Canadian citizenship living in London. In June 2009, Bahari returned to Iran to interview Mir-Hossein Moussavi, who was the prime challenger to controversial incumbent president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. As Moussavi’s supporters rose up to protest Ahmadinejad’s victory declaration hours before the polls closed on election day, Bahari endured great personal risk by submitting camera footage of the unfolding street riots to the BBC. Bahari was soon arrested by Revolutionary Guard police, led by a man identifying himself only as “Rosewater,” who proceeded to torture and interrogate the journalist over the next 118 days.
[caption id="attachment_4666" align="aligncenter" width="1200"] Rosewater Director Jon Stewart at the NYC Press Junket. Photo by Liz Whittemore[/caption]
In October 2009, with Bahari’s wife leading an international campaign from London to have her husband freed, and Western media outlets including “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” continuing to keep the story alive, Iranian authorities released Bahari on $300,000 bail and the promise he would act as a spy for the government.
[caption id="attachment_4669" align="aligncenter" width="1200"] John and Mazier taking questions at the NYC Rosewater Press Junket. Photo by Liz Whittemore[/caption]
Rosewater has a direct connection to Stewart, who since taking over as host of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” in 1999, has turned the nightly half-hour satirical look at newsmakers and news-coverers into not only a perennial Emmy-winning juggernaut, but also an important touchstone on the zeitgeist. Stewart and “The Daily Show” covered Bahari’s saga nightly and had the journalist appear on the show to talk about his ordeal once he was released from prison.

The dynamic double duo is back! Michael leads the Brad, Jeremy and Liz in a talk about the critical and box office hit, Richard Linklater's Boyhood.
Filmed over 12 years with the same cast, Richard Linklater's BOYHOOD is a groundbreaking story of growing up as seen through the eyes of a child named Mason (a breakthrough performance by Ellar Coltrane), who literally grows up on screen before our eyes. Starring Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette as Mason's parents and newcomer Lorelei Linklater as his sister Samantha, BOYHOOD charts the rocky terrain of childhood like no other film has before. Snapshots of adolescence from road trips and family dinners to birthdays and graduations and all the moments in between become transcendent, set to a soundtrack spanning the years from Coldplay's Yellow to Arcade Fire's Deep Blue. BOYHOOD is both a nostalgic time capsule of the recent past and an ode to growing up and parenting. It's impossible to watch Mason and his family without thinking about our own journey.
