Who's Our Lead??
A podcast about people you've seen in movies. Whether big or small, bad or good, there are stories to tell about the stars of the silver screen, and each week we watch a new movie to help us figure out exactly why they work, or don't, on the biggest screen we've got.
Who's Our Lead??
Old Boyfriends (1979)
On this week's Intrinsically Profane, Jarrod and Jordan have the rare opportunity to discuss a Paul Schrader-penned film that we have no idea how he feels about, as he's never commented 1979's Old Boyfriends. No wayward Facebook posts; no asides published in Variety. Nothing.
Astutely re-worked and directed by Joan Tewkesbury--unfortunately the only film she would direct--and featuring a great lead performance from Talia Shire, we dare say this is an under-discussed and under-valued part of both Schrader's career and Hollywood history in general. Enjoy as we go long on it here--after doing a cool 30 minutes on M. Night Shyamalan's latest film Trap, of course.
