On the latest episode of the Talkhouse Podcast, two of the greatest living filmmakers, Kelly Reichardt and Olivier Assayas, sit down for an intimate conversation. Recorded last fall when Reichardt’s First Cow (in theaters March 6 through A24) and Assayas’ Wasp Network were both playing at the New York Film Festival, this talk sees the two comparing notes on the intricacies of their respective creative processes, from writing through to editing. They discuss the ways in which they differ (such as Assayas’ enforced spontaneity and Reichardt’s love of preparation), the personal backstories to Assayas’ films Cold Water and Summer Hours, Reichardt’s past growing up in a law-enforcement family in Miami, the way new technology figures in their work, and much more.

Being sixteen is tough for almost everyone. But when Thora Birch was sixteen, she went from being a familiar child actor to the girl from an Oscar-winning phenomenon, American Beauty. That movie changed her career, but it was her follow-up movie, Ghost World, that changed her whole outlook on life. Thora and Marc talk about how she adjusted after that period, what she focused on when she stepped away for a little while, and how she’s reintegrating herself into show business with the goal of expanding her artistic pursuits, while also spending some time on The Walking Dead.

Singer-songwriter Lauv talks about making his debut album, How I’m Feeling, which drops tomorrow.
Lauv discusses how he transitioned from being a songwriter to the stars to a full-fledged pop sensation in his own right. Jurassic Park host Akil Augustine explains why he’s defending Radicalized by Cory Doctorow for this year’s Canada Reads competition. Singer-songwriter J.S. Ondara talks about his debut album, Tales of America, in which he reflects on his experiences emigrating to the U.S. from Kenya. Run This Town director Ricky Tollman tells us how his new Rob Ford film was inspired by rise of U.S. President Donald Trump.
Just a few years ago, J.S. Ondara emigrated to the U.S. from Nairobi, Kenya. Inspired by Nirvana, Bob Dylan and Neil Young, Ondara taught himself to play guitar, snagged a major label record deal, and ended up being nominated for a Grammy for best Americana album of the year. He joined Tom Power to reflect on his experiences in his adopted home, which is something he explores on his debut album, Tales of America.
Run This Town director Ricky Tollman saw the growing push of populism and thought, “I’ve seen this story before — in Toronto.” He joined Tom Power to talk about the new film.
Trump says it would destroy us. Sanders says it will save us. The majority of millennials would like it to replace capitalism. But what is “it”? We bring in the economists to sort things out and tell us what the U.S. can learn from the good (and bad) experiences of other (supposedly) socialist countries.
